Dietary lipid intake influences the level of cholesterol bound to haemoglobin in human erythrocytes
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2008)
Background Blood cholesterol levels are affected by diet and in particular by the type of fat intake. We originally showed that a significant but variable amount of cholesterol is firmly bound to haemoglobin (Hb) yielding ...
A human origin type II strain of Toxoplasma gondii causing severe encephalitis in mice
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2006)
Despite its capacity for sexual reproduction and global distribution, Toxoplasma gondii has a highly clonal structure, with the majority of isolates belonging to three distinct clonal types. Congenital toxoplasmosis has ...
Combined effect of IL-17 and blockade of nitric oxide biosynthesis on haematopoiesis in mice
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2010)
Aim: The study was undertaken to extend our investigation concerning both the in vivo activity of interleukin (IL)-17 and the specific role of nitric oxide (NO) in IL-17-induced effects in the process of haematopoiesis. ...
A Systematic Review on Micronutrient Intake Adequacy in Adult Minority Populations Residing in Europe: The Need for Action
(Springer, New York, 2014)
This systematic review evaluated micronutrient intake inadequacy of ten micronutrients for adult ethnic minority populations residing in Europe. Pubmed was searched for studies, related references were checked and experts ...
Glucocorticoid receptor mediates the expansion of splenic late erythroid progenitors during chronic psychological stress
(Polish Physiological Soc, Grzegorzecka, 2015)
Stress evokes an integrated neuroendocrine response perturbing the homeostasis of different physiological systems. In contrast to well established physiologica linteractions between neuroendocrine and immune systems during ...
p38 MAPK signaling mediates IL-17-induced nitric oxide synthase expression in bone marrow cells
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2009)
The effects of interleukin (IL)-17 on nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) expression, as well as the participation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in IL-17-mediated effects were examined in murine bone marrow ...
Syphacia obvelata modifies mitogen-activated protein kinases and nitric oxide synthases expression in murine bone marrow cells
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2010)
Syphacia obvelata is a rodent nematode parasite with high prevalence in laboratory mice. In our previous work we have demonstrated that this gut-dwelling helminth induces significant hematopoietic changes, characterized ...
Detecting long-range correlations in time series of neuronal discharges
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2003)
We have studied the discharge dynamics of dorsal horn neurons (DHN) by applying the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and the wavelet transform (WT) technique. We have adopted that discharge dynamics is manifested by ...
High prevalence of intestinal zoonotic parasites in dogs from Belgrade, Serbia - Short communication
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, Budapest, 2008)
To identify areas of risk for canine-related zoonoses in Serbia, the aim of this Study was to provide baseline knowledge about intestinal parasites in 15 1 dogs (65 household pets, 75 stray and I I military working dogs) ...
Isolation of Hemoglobin from Bovine Erythrocytes by Controlled Hemolysis in the Membrane Bioreactor
(Springer, New York, 2012)
In this work, we describe an optimized procedure based on gradual hemolysis for the isolation of hemoglobin derived from bovine slaughterhouse erythrocytes in a membrane bioreactor. The membrane bioreactor system that ...
