In the oral cavity, titanium is an excellent biocompatible material. However, it is reported that high ratios of intracellular titanium particles can cause cell apoptosis or necrosis by as-yet unknown mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the response of tumor necrosis factor
The first step in Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection of plants is the establishment of cell-cell contact between the two partners. However, failure to establish such contact makes many plants and explants recalcitrant to A. tumefaciens infection. Tea is one such example where even the popular
Although it is considered that L-Glutamine (L-Gln) supplementation improves gut morphology and survival in animal models such as radiation and drug-induced enterocolitis, the mechanisms underlying are far from being established. Recently, Gln has been reported to give protection against stress in in
BACKGROUND
Deltamethrin (DLM) is a broad-spectrum synthetic dibromo-pyrethroid pesticide that is widely used for agricultural and veterinary purposes. However, human exposure to the pesticide leads to neurotoxicity. Glutamine is one of the principal, free intracellular amino acids and may also be an
L-Glutamine is a requirement for many cells in tissue culture, an intermediate in many metabolic pathways, and an alternative substrate to glucose for energy metabolism. These properties suggest that glutamine concentration might be a determinant of cell viability in tumours, especially in regions
In a recent clinical trial, the metabolite l-glutamine was shown to reduce painful crises in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. To support this observation and identify other metabolites implicated in SCD clinical heterogeneity, we profiled 129 metabolites in the plasma of 705 SCD patients. We
OBJECTIVE
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a multifactorial syndrome in the neonate. Enteral feeding practices are an important component of gastrointestinal injury in neonatal NEC. In the present study, we examined the protective effect of oral supplementation with L-glutamine, an important
We previously reported that the combinatorial use of sodium laurate (C12) with several amino acids such as taurine (Tau) and L-glutamine (L-Gln) enhanced the colonic absorption of phenol red with attenuating the local toxicity caused by C12. However, even these amino acids could not protect
To explore the protective effect of N(2)-L-alanyl-L-glutamine (NLAG) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), and observe the influence of NLAG on the Janus activated kinase signal transducer 2 and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway‑associated molecules. Wistar rats
Novel adjuvants are in demand for improving the efficacy of human vaccines. The immunomodulatory properties of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall components have been highlighted in the formulation of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). We have explored the adjuvant potential of poly-α-l-glutamine
Mitochondrial glutathione (mtGSH) depletion increases sensitivity of Bcl-2-overexpressing B16 melanoma (B16M)-F10 cells (high metastatic potential) to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced oxidative stress and death in vitro. In vivo, mtGSH depletion in B16M-F10 cells was achieved by
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether the administration of different glutamine-containing dipeptides, glycyl-l-glutamine (GLY-GLN) and l-alanyl-l-glutamine, has a differing impact on perioperative immunomodulation.
BACKGROUND
Surgery leads to transitory immunosuppression, which is associated with
BACKGROUND
Glucose and insulin homeostasis are altered in patients undergoing gastro-intestinal tumour resection and affect the postsurgical outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the impact of dipeptide alanyl-L-glutamine supplementation on glucose-insulin homeostasis, inflammatory mediators and surgical
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) causes reproductive failure in swine. As glutamine can enhance immune function in animals, this study was conducted with mice to test the hypothesis that dietary glutamine supplementation will improve pregnancy outcome in PCV2-infected dams. Beginning on day 0 of
Antibiotic use has been limited in U.S. swine production. Therefore, the objective was to determine whether supplementing l-glutamine at cost-effective levels can replace dietary antibiotics to improve piglet welfare and productivity following weaning and transport. Based on previous research, we
