Increases in dietary intake of viscous and nonviscous soluble fiber are reported to improve bowel health. However, related biological mechanisms are not very clear. This study was conducted to examine if colonic inflammation would occur in a typical Western diet model and determine if consumption of
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is considered as an antitumor agent owing to its ability to induce apoptosis of cancer cells without imparting toxicity toward most normal cells. TRAIL is produced in poor yield because of its insoluble expression in the cytoplasm of E.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to examine the protective effect of a dietary high-amylose cornstarch (HAS) against D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced liver injury, focusing specifically on intestinal endotoxin translocation.
METHODS
Male Wistar rats fed a HAS-free basal diet or a 30%
Oral administration of an enzymatically synthesized alpha-1,4:1,6-glycogen (ESG) at a dose of 50 mug/ml significantly prolonged the survival time of Meth A tumor-bearing mice. ESG also significantly stimulated macrophage-like cells (J774.1), leading to augmented production of nitric oxide (NO) and

ACL myotoxin (ACLMT) is a K49 phospholipase A(2)-like protein isolated from the venom of the snake Agkistrodon contortrix laticinctus (broad-banded copperhead) that induces necrosis of skeletal muscle. We have previously cloned and sequenced the cDNA coding for ACLMT from a venom gland cDNA library.
