  2021-07-28

  

  Methacholine (MCh) is a bronchoconstrictive agent that has been widely used in the diagnoses of airway narrowing and hyperresponsiveness (Jonasson et al., 2009). MCh induces muscle contractions by stimulating the muscarinic cholinergic receptors that are found in both the airways and the lung parenc

  2021-07-28

  

  The generation of ROS, in addition to eliciting oxidative stress, is an important proapoptotic signal (Ott et al., 2007). Apoptosis is clearly associated with the production of ROS, since ROS generation occurs in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and disturbs mitochondrial homeostasis, which plays

  Concholepas concholepas, our model species for this study, is a marine gastropod found along the Chilean coast that has become commercially important [25], [26], [27]. Until now, the main focus of immunology related to C. concholepas is the production of a novel hemocyanin that has been useful for t

  Possibly there are similarities among euphorb plant species but extraction of the interleukin 2 receptor present in the microsomal fraction is needed for testing their preferences for substrates. Although R. communis, E. lathyris and E. lagascae belong to the same family, the DGAT activity of their

  Here, we examine the associations between serum pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines and cognitive functioning in early-stage bipolar I disorder (BDI) patients. As per previous studies, ‘early-stage’ was defined as being within three years of the first manic episode (Kauer-Sant'Anna et al., 2009). We

  2021-07-28

  

  Interaction between neutrophils and ECs represents the first step of the cellular phase of the inflammatory response, and provide the best condition for the transfer of the PMNL-derived LTA4 to the ECs, leading to the transcellular formation of cysteinyl-LTs. It is intriguing therefore to think that

  2021-07-28

  

  Studies also provide evidence that cytokines such as TGF-β, a TH3-type cytokine, may also play a role in airway remodeling. Data obtained by Cohen et al suggest that TGF-β1 can induce human BSMC proliferation by increasing the expression of IGFBP-3. Hence, the mitogenic action of TGF-β1 could be rel

  In conclusion, we demonstrated phenoconversion of CYP3A in stable kidney transplant recipients, and that higher plasma indoxyl sulfate concentrations in these subjects may be involved in the phenomenon. The present findings suggest that dose adjustment of drugs metabolized by CYP3A may be needed in

  2021-07-28

  

  The early serologic response of infants to infection with HIV-1 is obscured by the presence of transplacentally acquired maternal HIV antibody. However, the HIV Levodopa receptor produced in vitro by peripheral blood from infants has been studied (Pollack et al., 1993) and it has been shown that ne

  Another option is to use the thiol groups of cysteine residues, which can be modified by use of PEG-maleimide and vinyl sulfone. However, changes in PEGylation interactions or reaction conditions can result in changes in the functional properties of the therapeutic proteins [[50], [51], [52]]. A st

  2021-07-27

  

  Recent studies have shown that some CLC genes participate in plant salt tolerance and have speculated that they function by mediating Cl− transport across the tonoplast. For instance, AtCLCc, a vacuolar anion transporter, is shown to be involved in the regulation of stomatal movement and to contribu

  2021-07-27

  

  Immune modulation by steroid hormones is a rather new aspect of the research on endocrine interactions in lower vertebrates (Harris and Bird, 2000). In the classical view, steroids exert their effects by binding to specific intracellular receptors that function as ligand-activated transcriptional re

  Estrogens: Definition and history The term “estrogens” refers to a group of female hormones, including estrone, estradiol, estriol, and estretrol (Fig. 1). Chemically, estrogens belong to the family of organic compounds known as steroids. As such, their core structure is composed of 17 carbon-carbo

  2021-07-27

  

  The most common pathology associated with FGR is poor placental perfusion as a result of abnormal placentation [4]. Placental developmental disorders and insufficient hormone synthesis may lead to FGR [5,6]. However, the exact mechanism responsible for abnormal placental development remains unclear.
