Synthesis, structure and characterization of novel Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-formylpyridine and selenosemicarbazide Antiproliferative activity of the synthesized complexes and related selenosemicarbazone complexes
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2010)
Two novel Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the condensation product of 2-formylpyridine and selenosemicarbazide were synthesized. The structure of Cd(II) complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. The ligand is ...
Association of Fibronectin With Hypogalactosylated Immunoglobulin G in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in Periodontitis
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Background: Fibronectin (FN) can bind to immunoglobulins (Ig), influencing both the normal clearance and abnormal deposition of circulating immune complexes. This study focuses on the possible interaction between FN and ...
Gender Differences in VLDL1 and VLDL2 Triglyceride Kinetics and Fatty Acid Kinetics in Obese Postmenopausal Women and Obese Men
(Endocrine Soc, Chevy Chase, 2012)
Context: High plasma triglycerides (TG) have been shown to be independent and better predictors of cardiovascular disease than low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in women. This may be due to gender differences in ...
The interplay between copper(II), human serum albumin, fatty acids, and carbonylating agent interferes with Cys 34 thiol reactivity and copper binding
(Springer, New York, 2019)
Cys34 thiol group of human serum albumin (HSA) represents major plasma antioxidant. Its reactivity is influenced by multiple factors. The influence of fatty acids (FA; saturated, mono, and poly unsaturated acids from fish ...
Review Article Socio-economic determinants of micronutrient intake and status in Europe: a systematic review
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2014)
Objective To provide the evidence base for targeted nutrition policies to reduce the risk of micronutrient/diet-related diseases among disadvantaged populations in Europe, by focusing on: folate, vitamin B-12, Fe, Zn and ...
The Role of the TGF-beta Coreceptor Endoglin in Cancer
(Hindawi Ltd, London, 2010)
Endoglin (CD105) is an auxiliary membrane receptor of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) that interacts with type I and type II TGF-beta receptors and modulates TGF-beta signaling. Endoglin is overexpressed in the ...
Seasonal Variations in Human Toxoplasma Infection in Serbia
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2010)
Background: Seasonal variations in the occurrence of toxoplasmosis have been studied only sporadically. We thus examined the seasonal distribution of acute toxoplasmosis in Serbia during a 4-year period (2004-2008). Materials ...
The Acute Effect of Ethanol on Adrenal Cortex in Female Rats-Possible Role of Nitric Oxide
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2011)
Aims: The present study was designed to investigate a possible role of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) in the adrenal response to an acute alcohol administration in female rats. To this end, N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine-methyl ...
Anthocyanins and their gut metabolites attenuate monocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration through nutrigenomic mechanisms regulating endothelial cell permeability
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2018)
Cardioprotective effects of dietary anthocyanins are partly attributed to their ability to maintain endothelial function. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of action are not fully understood. This ...
TGF-beta/TGF-beta receptor system and its role in physiological and pathological conditions
(Portland Press Ltd, London, 2011)
The TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) system signals via protein kinase receptors and Smad mediators to regulate a plethora of biological processes, including morphogenesis, embryonic development, adult stem cell ...
