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 ...
Lunasin-induced behavioural effects in mice: Focus on the dopaminergic system
(Elsevier, 2013)
The present study for the first time is devoted to identify central effects of synthetic lunasin, a
43 amino acid peptide. A markedly expressed neuroleptic/cataleptic effect was observed at low
(0.1–10 nmol/mouse) centrally ...
Modeling and Query Language for Hospitals
(Springer, 2013)
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. ...
Crystal structures of the Erp protein family members ErpP and ErpC from Borrelia burgdorferi reveal the reason for different affinities for complement regulator factor H
(Elsevier, 2015)
Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease, which can be acquired after the bite of an infected
Ixodes tick. As a strategy to resist the innate immunity and to successfully spread and proliferate, B. ...
