BACKGROUND
Phenolic compounds EGCG [(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate], resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) and capsaicin (trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) are worth investigating for clinical application in cancer prevention and chemotherapy. Hypoxia-induced drug resistance is a
BACKGROUND
Rhododendron anthopogonoides Maxim, a kind of traditional Tibetan medicine, has been used to remove body heat, body detoxification, cough, asthma, stomachic and swelling, eliminate abundant phlegm and inflammatory for a long time. In the present study, the total phenols and total
The phenolic glucoside gastrodin is the main component extracted from the rhizome of Gastrodia elata (Orchidaceae), a Chinese herbal medicine, which has long been used for treating dizziness, epilepsy, stroke and dementia. The present study aims to investigate the effect of gastrodin on
We aimed to investigate the potential beneficial effects of the Brazilian Pampa biome honey in a Drosophila-based hypoxia model. Adult flies were reared in standard medium in the presence or absence of honey (at a final concentration of 10 % in medium). Then, control flies (4 % sucrose in medium)
Although studies in isolated hepatocytes have demonstrated that hypoxia adversely affects drug conjugation, the impact of hypoxia on drug elimination by conjugation in the intact liver has not been defined. This study in the isolated perfused rat liver examines the effect of acute hypoxia on the
Aquatic animals are naturally exposed simultaneously to environments with different concentrations of humic acid (HA) and seasonal or daily variations of dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. This study investigated the effects of simultaneous exposure to different HA and DO levels on plasma ion levels and
Hypoxia is a risk factor for severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which aggravates the disease and may cause mortality by inducing hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH). Proliferation and migration of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) may mediate this effect. Resveratrol is a
We conducted an investigation to evaluate the effects of Brazilian Pampa biome honey and its major phenolic compounds on the development of an erected wings posture phenotype and related mitochondrial aspects induced by Hypoxia/Reoxygenation (H/R) in Drosophila melanogaster. Flies were pre-treated
Magnesium-based alloys are the most widely used materials for degradable metallic implants and have considerable potential for bone applications owing to their excellent stimulating effect on osteogenesis. However, their high corrosion rate limits their structural stability and causes oxygen
3-(4-Methylcoumarin-7-yloxy)methylindole-4,7-diones were synthesised as model prodrugs in order to investigate the correlation between rates of reductive elimination from the (indolyl-3-yl)methyl position with reductive metabolism by hypoxic tumor cells and NADPH: cytochrome P450. Rates of
Incubation of rat striatal slices in anoxic medium caused significant alterations in dopamine (DA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) outputs; while DA release increased several times, 50% decline in DOPAC output was observed under this condition. Tissue ATP level, on the other hand, was
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a global health threat, compounded by the emergence of drug-resistant strains. A hallmark of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is the formation of hypoxic necrotic granulomas, which upon disintegration, release infectious Mtb. Furthermore, hypoxic necrotic granulomas
It is an important therapeutic strategy to protect mitochondria from oxidative stress, especially during ischemia-reperfusion. Curcumin is a naturally occurring phenolic compound isolated as a yellow pigment from turmeric (Curcuma longa). This compound has received much attention due to its
Aluminum (Al) is prevalent in soils, but Al toxicity is manifested only under acid conditions. It causes severe damages to the root system. Short-term waterlogging stress can occur simultaneously with Al toxicity in areas with high rainfall or an inappropriate irrigation pattern. Barley (Hordeum
A series of experiments was conducted aboard the U.S. space shuttle and the Mir space station to evaluate microgravity-induced root zone hypoxia in rapid-cycling Brassica (Brassica rapa L.), using both root and foliar indicators of low-oxygen stress to the root zone. Root systems from two groups of
