Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning improves renal haemodynamic and kidneyfunction in spontaneously hypertensive rats with ischemic acute kidney injury
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2018)
Age-Related Differential Stimulation of Immune Response by Babesia microti and Borrelia burgdorferi During Acute Phase of Infection Affects Disease Severity
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2018)
Lyme disease is the most prominent tick-borne disease with 300,000 cases estimated by CDC every year while ~2,000 cases of babesiosis occur per year in the United States. Simultaneous infection with Babesia microti and ...
Characterization of dried chokeberry fruit extract and its chronic effects on blood pressure and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
The potential beneficial effects of chronic consumption of dried chokeberry fruit extract (DCE) were evaluated in the present in vivo study. The study concentrates on haemodynamic parameters, lipid profile and oxidative ...
Babesia microti infection changes host spleen architecture and is cleared by a Th1 immune response
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018)
Babesia microti is a malaria-like parasite, which infects ~2000 people annually, such that babesiosis is now a notifiable disease in the United States. Immunocompetent individuals often remain asymptomatic and are tested ...
TLR4 and RAGE conversely mediate pro-inflammatory S100A8/9-mediated inhibition of proliferation-linked signaling in myeloproliferative neoplasms
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
Purpose Previously, the family of S 100A proteins has been found to be associated with inflammation and myelopoiesis and to be able to induce or support myeloproliferation during chronic inflammation. Here, we studied the ...
Pain and executive functions: a unique relationship between Stroop task and experimentally induced pain
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2018)
There is a growing body of evidence that a higher level of cognitive inhibition is associated with lower experimental pain sensitivity. However, a systematic examination of the association between executive functions, which ...
Self-preferred initial position could be a viable alternative to the standard squat jump testing procedure
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to compare both the magnitude and reliability of different variables (knee angle, squat depth, jump height [Hmax], maximum force [Fmax], and maximum power [Pmax]) between the standardized squat ...
Transforming growth factor- (TGF-), matrix metalloproteinases, and urokinase-type plasminogen activator interaction in the cancer epithelial to mesenchymal transition
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2018)
Transforming growth factor- (TGF-) is a pleiotropic factor that acts as a tumor suppressor in the early stages, while it exerts tumor promoting activities in advanced stages of cancer development. One of the hallmarks of ...
Anthocyanins and their gut metabolites attenuate monocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration through nutrigenomic mechanisms regulating endothelial cell permeability
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2018)
Cardioprotective effects of dietary anthocyanins are partly attributed to their ability to maintain endothelial function. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of action are not fully understood. This ...
