Stage conversion of Toxoplasma gondii RH parasites in mice by treatment with atovaquone and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
The mouse-virulent RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii is generally considered to have lost its cyst-forming capacity, and conversion of RH tachyzoites into cysts in non-immune mice has previously been shown exclusively following ...
Reduced progression of adriamycin nephropathy in spontaneously hypertensive rats treated by losartan
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2009)
Background. The aim of the study was to investigate the antihypertensive effects of angiotensin II type-1 receptor blocker, losartan, and its potential in slowing down renal disease progression in spontaneously hypertensive ...
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 ...
Experimental and systems biology studies of the molecular basis for the radioresistance of prostate carcinoma cells
(Springer, New York, 2008)
Molecular mechanisms for the gamma-ionizing radiation (IR) resistance of human prostate cancer cells, PC-3, are not quite clear. Since the low-LET-IR effects are primarily manifested by the generation of reactive oxygen ...
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 ...
Efficacy of atovaquone combined with clindamycin against murine infection with a cystogenic (Me49) strain of Toxoplasma gondii
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2002)
The efficacy of atovaquone (ATO) combined with clindamycin (CLI) against Toxoplasma gondii was examined in murine models of infection with a mouse-non-virulent (Me49) strain. Swiss-Webster mice inoculated by mouth with 10 ...
Detecting long-range correlations in time series of dorsal horn neuron discharges
(New York Acad Sciences, New York, 2005)
We have studied the discharge dynamics of dorsal horn neurons by applying the detrended fluctuation analysis and the wavelet transform technique. We have adopted that the neuronal discharge dynamics is manifested by the ...
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 ...
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 ...
