A longitudinal study of the relationship between galactosylation degree of IgG and rheumatoid factor titer and avidity during long-term immunization of rabbits with BSA
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2005)
Although IgG with reduced content of galactose has been implicated as important in the autoimmune rheumatoid factor (RF) response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), relatively little is known about the temporal relationship ...
Development of a sampling plan for Myzus persicae (Hemiptera : Aphidoidea) and its predator Macrolophus costalis (Hemiptera : Miridae) on tobacco
(Czech Acad Sci, Inst Entomology, Ceske Budejovice, 2005)
A tobacco field in Greece was sampled during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons to assess the seasonal trends in densities and spatial distributions of the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and its predatory mirid Macrolophus ...
Effects of acute administration of ethanol on the rat adrenal cortex
(Alcohol Res Documentation Inc Cent Alcohol Stud Rutgers Univ, Piscataway, 2003)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a single dose of ethanol on rat adrenal cortex and to determine whether the estrous cycle can influence this effect of ethanol. Method: Adult female ...
High-order statistical analysis of neuronal coding: Case study on the "whiteness" of spontaneous activity
(Brno Univ Technology Vut Press, Brno, 2002)
In this work, series of action potentials recorded in vivo from spontaneously active neurons in an invertebrate experimental model are analysed, using the high-order statistics framework. The high-order correlations of ...
Effects of Nitric Oxide on Red Blood Cell Development and Phenotype
(Current Topics in Developmental Biology, 2008)
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diffusible free radical generated primarily by NO synthases (NOS), isoenzymes that convert the l-arginine and molecular oxygen to citrulline and NO in cells. Endothelial cells as well as macrophages, ...
Hydroxyurea induces the eNOS-cGMP pathway in endothelial cells
(Amer Soc Hematology, Washington, 2006)
Hydroxyurea is a cell-cycle-specific drug that has been used to treat myeloproliferative diseases and sickle cell anemia. We have recently shown that hydroxyurea, like nitric oxide (NO)-donor compounds, increased cGMP ...
Hydroxyurea increases eNOS protein levels through inhibition of proteasome activity
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2007)
Recent reports have identified the proteasome as the primary degradation pathway for inducible, neuronal and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We have demonstrated that hydroxyurea increased nitric oxide (NO) ...
Effects of gamma-radiation on cell growth, cycle arrest, death, and superoxide dismutase expression by DU145 human prostate cancer cells
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, Ribeirao Preto, 2006)
Gamma-irradiation (gamma-IR) is extensively used in the treatment of hormone-resistant prostate carcinoma. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of Co-60 gamma-IR on the growth, cell cycle arrest ...
Investigation of action of peroxoacetic acid on lipid component of bacterial spores and contribution to the standardization of efficiency evaluation test / Ispitivanje dejstva persirćetne kiseline na lipidnu komponentu bakterijskih spora i doprinos standardizaciji testa za ocenu efikasnosti
(Univerzitet u Beogradu - Fakultet veterinarske medicine, Beograd, 2005)
The aim of this research was to contribute to a more detailed insight in the action of peroxygen disinfectants based on peroxoacetic acid (PAA), on lipid components of sporogenic forms of microorganisms. Sporogenic forms ...
The levels of immune complexes in the blood sera of calves in the neonatal period and in adult cattle / Imunokompleksi u krvnom serumu teladi u neonatalnom periodu i kod odraslih goveda
(Univerzitet u Beogradu - Fakultet veterinarske medicine, Beograd, 2006)
In this work immune complexes (IC) in the sera of healthy calves from birth to four months of age, heifers and cows were investigated. Polyethylen glycol (PEG) precipitation assay was applied after previous standardization. ...
