Polyunsaturated fatty acids in health and disease / Polinezasićene masne kiseline u zdravlju i bolesti
(Srpsko hemijsko društvo, Beograd, 2013)
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are necessary for overall health. Two PUFAs families, n-6 and n-3 fatty acids, are physiologically and metabolically distinct. The proportion of PUFAs in serum and erythrocyte phospholipids, ...
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of Degenerating Brain: A Comparison of Normal Aging, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's Disease
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2013)
Although the brain's ability to change constantly in response to external and internal inputs is now well recognized the mechanisms behind it in normal aging and neurodegeneration are less well understood. To gain a better ...
Abnormalities in the serum phospholipids fatty acid profile in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis - a pilot study
(Journal Clinical Biochemistry & Nutrition, Kyoto, 2013)
The fatty acid composition of serum phospholipids were analyzed in 20 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (11 with malnutrition and 9 with acceptable nutritional status); 25 healthy age and sex-matched adults were used ...
History of exposure to dopaminergic medication does not affect motor cortex plasticity and excitability in Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2013)
Objective: Little is known whether and how chronic exposure to dopaminergic treatment alters physiological mechanisms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Two clinically similar groups of PD patients, one consisting of ...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation has no placebo effect on motor learning
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2013)
Objective: Motor learning is the core cognitive function in neurorehabilitation and in various other skill-training activities (e. g. sport, music). Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the use of transcranial ...
Transcranial Application of Near-Infrared Low-Level Laser Can Modulate Cortical Excitability
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2013)
Background and Objective: Near-infrared low-level laser (NIR-LLL) irradiation penetrates scalp and skull and can reach superficial layers of the cerebral cortex. It was shown to improve the outcome of acute stroke in both ...
Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from peripheral blood and umbilical cord Wharton's jelly / Osobine mezenhimskih matičnih ćelija izolovanih iz periferne krvi i Vartonove sluzi pupčane vrpce
(Srpsko lekarsko društvo, Beograd, 2013)
Introduction. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising tool for regenerative medicine, but due to the heterogeneity of their populations, different sources and isolation techniques, the characteristics defining MSCs ...
Interleukin-17 modulates myoblast cell migration by inhibiting urokinase type plasminogen activator expression through p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Interleukin-17 belongs to a family of pro-inflammatory cytokines with pleiotropic effects, which can be associated with several inflammatory diseases of the muscle tissue. Although elevated levels of interleukin-17 have ...
Skip regulates TGF- β 1-induced extracellular matrix degrading proteases expression in human PC-3 prostate cancer cells
(Hindawi Limited, 2013)
Purpose. To determine whether Ski-interacting protein (SKIP) regulates TGF-β1-stimulated expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and uPA Inhibitor (PAI-1) in the ...
