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 ...
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 ...
The combination of gamma ionizing radiation and 8-Cl-cAMP induces synergistic cell growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2008)
The antiproliferative and cytotoxic potential of the nucleotide analog 8-Cl-cAMP was tested in PC-3 and DU145 metastatic human prostate cancer cells. The drug was examined as the only therapeutic agent and in combination ...
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 ...
How to find information on national food and nutrient consumption surveys across Europe: systematic literature review and questionnaires to selected country experts are both good strategies
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2009)
The present research was conducted within the framework of the EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned project. in order to identify the best practice in assessing nutrient intakes, a search strategy for collecting ...
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 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, ...
Plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid fatty acid profile in professional basketball and football players
(Springer, New York, 2009)
The effect of intensive long-term physical activity on phospholipid fatty acid (FA) composition has not been studied thoroughly. We determined plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid FA status of professional basketball and ...
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, ...
