Spectral analysis of thioacetamide-induced electroencephalographic changes in rats
(Human and Experimental Toxicology, 2013)
Thioacetamide (TAA) is widely used as a model of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of TAA on electroencephalographic (EEG) changes in rats and to compare them with human HE. ...
Blockade of Nitric Oxide Synthesis Modulates Rat Immunoglobulin A
(Karger, Basel, 2009)
Objective: Nitric oxide (NO) is known as a regulator of inflammation and immunity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of this signal molecule on the rat immunoglobulin A (IgA) system using N ...
Glycosylation of IgG B cell receptor (IgG BCR) in multiple myeloma: relationship between sialylation and the signal activity of IgG BCR
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2008)
Little is known about the glycosylation of the isotype switched B cell receptor (BCR) in multiple myeloma, and the way it might affect receptor function. In this work IgG BCRs isolated from the individual lysates of ...
Evidence for an association of high levels of endogenous Acetyl-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro, a potent mediator of angiogenesis, with acute myeloid leukemia development
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2006)
Evidence from clinical and laboratory studies suggests that angiogenesis is important in the progression of solid tumours and hematologic malignancies. We have shown that the naturally occurring tetrapeptide Acetyl-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro ...
Composition and Potential Health Benefits of Pomegranate: A Review
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2019)
Background: Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruits are widely consumed and used as preventive and therapeutic agents since ancient times. Pomegranate is a rich source of a variety of phytochemicals, which are responsible ...
Effect of n-3 fatty acids on nutritional status and inflammatory markers in haemodialysis patients
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Aims: Nutrition as an aetiological factor participates a great deal in premature atherosclerosis in haemodialysis (HD) patients. The basic mechanisms of end-stage renal disease and premature atherosclerosis are connected ...
Regulation of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Differentiation by Transforming Growth Factor Beta Superfamily
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2018)
The ability to differentiate into cells of different lineage, such as muscle, bone, cartilage and fat, is the chief value of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which can be used with the final aim to regenerate damaged ...
Changes in cortical excitability during paired associative stimulation in Parkinson's disease patients and healthy subjects
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2017)
Paired associative stimulation (PAS) combines repetitive peripheral nerve stimulation with motor cortex (M1) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to induce plastic-like changes of cortical excitability. While much ...
Cell support studies aimed for cartilage tissue engineering in perfused bioreactors
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Durnten-Zurich, 2004)
Cartilage tissue engineering based on chondrogenic cells seeded onto biodegradable polymer supports and cultivated in bioreactors can potentially become an effective method for creating functional tissue equivalents. ...
Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminoge Interplay in Cancer
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2018)
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is well recognized as playing a double role in tumor progression. Its antitumor role takes place in the early stages of cancer development, when TGF-beta acts as a repressor of ...
