Evidence for host genetic regulation of altered lipid metabolism in experimental toxoplasmosis supported with gene data mining results
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2017)
Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most successful parasites on Earth, infecting a wide array of mammals including one third of the global human population. The obligate intracellular protozoon is not capable of synthesizing ...
An update on the role of nutrigenomic modulations in mediating the cardiovascular protective effect of fruit polyphenols
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2016)
Polyphenols are plant food microconstituents that are widely distributed in the human diet, with fruits and fruit-derived products as one of the main dietary sources. Epidemiological studies have shown an inverse relationship ...
The Wolf (Canis lupus) as an Indicator Species for the Sylvatic Trichinella Cycle in the Central Balkans
(Wildlife Disease Assoc, Inc, Lawrence, 2014)
Wildlife is the most important reservoir of Trichinella spp. worldwide. Although the Balkans are a recognized European endemic region for Trichinella infections, data on wildlife are scarce. To monitor the circulation of ...
Fish oil supplementation improved liver phospholipids fatty acid composition and parameters of oxidative stress in male wistar rats
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2012)
In the present study, we examined the effects of fish oil supplementation in 3 months old male Wistar rats on changes in plasma and liver lipid metabolism and oxidative stress parameters. Twenty Wistar rats were randomly ...
Synthesis of antimicrobial monophase silver-doped hydroxyapatite nanopowders for bone tissue engineering
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2011)
Monophase silver-doped hydroxyapatite (AgxCa10-x(PO4)(6)(OH)(2); 0.002 lt = x lt = 0.04) nanoparticles were prepared using a neutralization method and investigated with respect to potential medical applications. This ...
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy in the population of Serbia
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Background: Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is the most common mitochondrial disorder. However, few countries have published their population-based findings related to this multisystemic disease. The aim: In order ...
Evidence that calf bronchopneumonia may be accompanied by increased sialylation of circulating immune complexes' IgG
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Immune complexes (IC) could have an important role in the pathogenesis of pre-ruminant calves' bronchopneumonia. IC are potent activators of complement and neutrophils and they might be responsible for immune protection, ...
Similar Developmental Patterns of Ghrelin- and Glucagon-Expressing Cells in the Human Pancreas
(Karger, Basel, 2012)
The pancreas appears to be a major source of ghrelin during fetal development, but the ontogeny of ghrelin cells in the human pancreas and their developmental relationship with alpha- and beta-cells remain largely unknown. ...
Non-substituted N-heteroaromatic selenosemicarbazone metal complexes induce apoptosis in cancer cells via activation of mitochondrial pathway
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2011)
We previously published the synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic effect of the novel Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II) complexes with 2-formylpyridine selenosemicarbazone. Here we further investigate the mechanism of their ...
Acaricidal Effect of Different Diatomaceous Earth Formulations Against Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Astigmata: Acaridae) on Stored Wheat
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, Cary, 2010)
Laboratory bioassays were conducted to evaluate the effect of different diatomaceous earth (DE) formulations against adults and immature stages of the stored-product mite species Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank). Five ...
