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 ...
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, ...
How does the quality of surveys for nutrient intake adequacy assessment compare across Europe? A scoring system to rate the quality of data in such surveys
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
Research was conducted within the EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned (EURRECA) Network of Excellence, to find the best practice in assessing nutrient intakes. Objectives include: to search for and use data on ...
How dietary intake methodology is adapted for use in European immigrant population groups - a review
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
Immigrants comprise a noteworthy segment of the European Population whose numbers are increasing. Research on the dietary habits of immigrants is critical for correctly providing diet counselling and implementing effective ...
Muscle strength testing: evaluation of tests of explosive force production
(Springer, New York, 2004)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate four tests of explosive force production (EFP). Specifically, the main aims of the study were to assess the reliability of different EFP tests, to examine their relationship with ...
Long-term survival of HIV-infected patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy in Serbia and Montenegro
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Background Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has dramatically changed the prognosis of HIV disease, even in terminally ill patients. Although these patients may survive many years after the diagnosis of AIDS if ...
Bosentan and losartan ameliorate acute renal failure associated with mild but not strong NO blockade
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2007)
Background. Acute renal failure (ARF) is a devastating illness, especially when it occurs in various conditions with impaired nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, such as arterial hypertension, heart failure and some renal diseases. ...
Stimulated stromal cells induce gamma-globin gene expression in erythroid cells via nitric oxide production
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2009)
Objective. We have previously shown that nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the hydroxyurea-induced increase of gamma-globin gene expression in cultured human erythroid progenitor cells and that hydroxyurea increases NO ...
Relative roles of endothelin-1 and angiotensin II in experimental post-ischaemic acute renal failure
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2004)
Background. The relative roles of endothelin (ET)-1 and angiotensin (ANG) II in post-ischaemic acute renal failure (ARF) have not been fully established so far. With the aim of contributing to this goal, we assessed in ...
The combination of gamma ionizing radiation and 8-Cl-cAMP induces synergistic cell growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2008)
The antiproliferative and cytotoxic potential of the nucleotide analog 8-Cl-cAMP was tested in PC-3 and DU145 metastatic human prostate cancer cells. The drug was examined as the only therapeutic agent and in combination ...
