Encapsulation of natural antioxidant resveratrol in liposomes
(CEFood 2012 - Proceedings of 6th Central European Congress on Food, 2012)
Liposomes have been shown to be suitable systems for encapsulation and preserving the health-beneficial properties of a wide range of biological active ingredients such as resveratrol (RSV). The aim of this study was to ...
Acute effect of ethanol on IgA immunoreactive cells in the intestine-associated immune system
(Pharmacological Reports, 2005)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effect of ethanol on mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue at the level of Peyer's patches and the intestinal lamina propria in female rats and to determine whether this ...
Hydroxyurea induces the eNOS-cGMP pathway in endothelial cells
(Amer Soc Hematology, Washington, 2006)
Hydroxyurea is a cell-cycle-specific drug that has been used to treat myeloproliferative diseases and sickle cell anemia. We have recently shown that hydroxyurea, like nitric oxide (NO)-donor compounds, increased cGMP ...
Lower Serum Paraoxonase-1 Activity Is Related to Linoleic and Docosahexanoic Fatty Acids in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2012)
Background. Serum paraoxonase-1(PON-1) activity is decreased in clinical conditions associated with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), increased lipid peroxidation and low-grade chronic inflammation, as in ...
Hydroxyurea increases eNOS protein levels through inhibition of proteasome activity
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2007)
Recent reports have identified the proteasome as the primary degradation pathway for inducible, neuronal and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We have demonstrated that hydroxyurea increased nitric oxide (NO) ...
ROS-NF kappa I' mediates TGF-beta 1-induced expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, matrix metalloproteinase-9 and cell invasion
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2010)
TGF-beta 1 has been postulated as a pro-oncogenic factor in the late step of the tumoral progression. In transformed cells, TGF-beta 1 enhances the capacity to degrade the extracellular matrix, cell invasiveness and ...
Somesthesis
(Handbook of Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2010)
Somesthesis refers to the ability to detect external and internal stimuli, the nature of which could be mechanical, thermal, or even painful, the latter being sufficiently strong to damage tissues. This ability relies upon ...
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 ...
Classification of walking patterns in Parkinson's disease patients based on inertial sensor data
(10th Symposium on Neural Network Applications in Electrical Engineering, NEUREL-2010 - Proceedings, 2010)
The gait disturbances in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients occur occasionally and intermittently, appearing in a random, inexplicable manner. These disturbances include festinations, shuffling, and complete freezing of ...
EURRECA-Estimating Selenium Requirements for Deriving Dietary Reference Values
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2013)
Current reference values for selenium, an essential micronutrient, are based on the intake of selenium that is required to achieve maximal glutathione peroxidase activity in plasma or erythrocytes. In order to assess the ...
