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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and low O-2 concentration (1%) synergize to improve the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (Pre-CFC)
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Low O-2 concentration (1%) favors the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells and inhibits committed progenitors (CFC). Since IL-6 influences both stem cells and committed progenitors at 20% O-2, we studied its effects ...
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 ...
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 ...
Regional hemodynamics after chronic nitric oxide inhibition in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2000)
Background: Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase by L-arginine analogs is associated with elevation of blood pressure in rats. Because endothelium-dependent vasomotion in different vascular beds is not homogenous, the ...
Dietary assessment methods used for low-income populations in food consumption surveys: a literature review
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
In order to assess nutritional adequacy, reliable estimates of nutrient intake are required. Specifically, the EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned (EURRECA) Network of Excellence needs clear guidelines oil methods ...
Turning dilemmas into opportunities: a UNU/SCN capacity development network in public nutrition in Central and Eastern Europe
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
Capacity development in nutrition is a process whereby individuals, groups, institutions, organizations and societies enhance their abilities to identify and meet challenges in a sustainable manner. To address these issues, ...
