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, ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
