The smooth muscle of guinea-pig taenia coli contracted upon exposure to an oxygen deprived glucose-free medium aerated with 95% N2 and 5% CO2. An aeration using 95% O2 and 5% CO2 resulted in an immediate relaxation of the contraction. The anoxia-induced muscle contractions were diminished when the
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1), and carbon anhydrase IX (CAIX) are important molecules that allow adaptation to hypoxic environments. The aim of our study was to investigate the correlation between HIF-1α, GLUT-1, and CAIX protein level with the
Fenton reaction-mediated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) can kill cancer cells via the conversion of H2 O2 to highly toxic HO•. However, problems such as insufficient H2 O2 levels in the tumor tissue and low Fenton reaction efficiency severely limit the
OBJECTIVE
There is an emerging consensus that early enteral nutrition benefits the high-risk surgical patient. However, in patients with inadequate gastrointestinal perfusion, food in the intestine may increase the oxygen demand beyond that which can be satisfied by the available delivery,
BACKGROUND
Positron emission tomography imaging of lung cancers with 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose is a non-invasive diagnostic, and prognostic tool that measures tumor metabolism. We have analyzed the effect of solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 1
We have previously reported that the spontaneous release of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) was markedly decreased by hypoxic insult in rat hippocampal slices. In the present study, the effect of glucose on 5-HT release was examined. Fractional release of [3H]5-HT was measured from an incubation
BACKGROUND
Wounds are increasingly important in our aging societies. Pathologies such as diabetes predispose patients to chronic wounds that can cause pain, infection, and amputation. The vacuum assisted closure device shows remarkable outcomes in wound healing. Its mechanism of action is unclear
During hypoxia the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei accelerates anaerobic glycolysis to obtain energy; therefore, a correct supply of glucose to the cells is needed. Facilitated glucose transport across the cells is mediated by a group of membrane embedded integral proteins called GLUT; being GLUT1 the
Recent studies on the induction of erythropoietin gene expression by hypoxia have indicated that erythropoietin forms part of a widely operative system of gene regulation by oxygen. Similar responses to hypoxia, cobaltous ions and desferrioxamine have indicated that the action of these agents is
We have shown that hypoxia reduces plasma insulin, which correlates with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) receptor 1 (CRHR1) in rats, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here, we report that hypobaric hypoxia at an altitude of 5,000 m for 8 h enhances rat plasma CRH, corticosterone, and glucose
In acute ischaemia, glucose-insulin-potassium administration reduces mortality and beta-adrenoceptor antagonists have favourable effects on the outcome of ischaemic heart disease. The present study was designed to investigate whether insulin (1.4x10(-7) M) and the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist,
In addition to its intracellular antioxidant role, reduced glutathione (GSH) is released by CNS cells and may mediate or modulate excitatory neurotransmission. Although extracellular GSH levels rise in the ischemic cortex, its effect on the viability of energy-compromised neurons has not been
BACKGROUND
In acute renal failure (ARF) renal tubular cell death and detachment can be induced by necrotic and apoptotic mechanisms. Several studies have demonstrated some benefits of the use of growth factors in experimental models of ARF.
METHODS
MDCK cells were cultured in a glucose-free medium
The metabolism of [1-13C]glucose in the rat brain during hypoxia was investigated by 13C NMR spectroscopy. Male Wistar rats, weighing 100-120g, were anesthetized with ketamine (50 approximately 75 mg/kg i.p.) and ventilated mechanically with a mixture of 30% oxygen, 69.5% nitrogen and 0.5%
Calcium(Ca2+)-dependent processes mediate, in part, anoxic cell injury. These may account for the difference in sensitivity to anoxia between certain immature and mature renal cells. To address this question, we studied the effects of anoxia on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), cell
