Association of reduced glyoxalase 1 activity and painful peripheral diabetic neuropathy in type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus patients
(Elsevier, 2013)
Aims: The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) enzyme
activity and painful diabetic neuropathy (DN) in patients with diabetes mellitus.
Methods: Glo1 activity and ...
γ1- and γ2-melanocyte stimulating hormones induce central anxiogenic effects and potentiate ethanol withdrawal responses in the elevated plus-maze test in mice
(Elsevier, 2009)
Little is known about the endogenous functions of γ1- and γ2-melanocyte stimulating hormones (γ1- and
γ2-MSH). Although γ-MSHs bind to melanocortin receptor subtypes 3 and 4, we have previously shown that
these peptides ...
A common promoter variant of the gene encoding cyclooxygenase-1 (PTGS1) is related to decreased incidence ofmyocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery disease
(Elsevier, 2011)
Cyclooxigenase (COX)-1, formally known as prostanglandin endoperoxideH
synthetase-1,mediates synthesis of prostaglandin H2,which
is subsequently converted to various biologically active metabolites
including thromboxane ...
Fibronectin-binding nanoparticles for intracellular targeting addressed by B. burgdorferi BBK32 protein fragments
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are created by the self-assembly of multiple copies of envelope and/or capsid proteins from many viruses, mimicking the conformation of a native virus. Such noninfectious nanostructures are ...
Carnitine congener mildronate protects against stress- and haloperidol-induced impairment in memory and brain protein expression in rats
(Elsevier, 2014)
The present study investigates the efficacy of mildronate, a carnitine congener, to protect stress and haloperidol-induced impairment of memory in rats and the expression of brain protein biomarkers involved in synaptic ...
Breath testing as a method for detecting lung cancer
(Taylor&Francis, 2014)
Early diagnosis of lung cancer is important due to high mortality in late stages of the disease. An ideal approach for population screening could be the breath analysis, due to its non-invasiveness, simplicity and cheapness. ...
