phosphatidyl choline/atrophy

Oxidative stress is a pivotal factor in neuronal degeneration. However, vitamin E was only marginally effective in clinical trials. We examined whether or not a mixture of vitamin E (as alpha-tocopherol), sodium pyruvate and phosphatidyl choline (PC), a mixture that promotes wound healing in

The recessive genetic defect in miniature poodles which results in progressive rod-cone degeneration (prcd) has been investigated in an attempt to determine the biochemical abnormality involved. In the present study, the rod outer segments of young prcd affected miniature poodles and normal dogs

Oxidative stress is a pivotal factor in neuronal degeneration including that induced by exposure to amyloid-beta (Abeta). Treatment with antioxidants such as vitamin E can alleviate Abeta neurotoxicity. However, vitamin E was only marginally effective in clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease.

Twenty-eight consecutive batches of the reference reagent British Comparative Thromboplastin (BCT) were produced in the National (UK) Reference Laboratory for Anticoagulant Reagents and Control (NRLARC) between 1969 and 1977. The relationship between procoagulant activity and lipid class composition

BACKGROUND Lipoplatin, a novel liposomal formulation of cisplatin, is composed of cisplatin and liposomes based on dipalmityl phosphatidyl glycerol (DPPG), soy phosphatidyl choline (SPC-3), cholesterol and methoxypolyethylene glycol-distearoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (mPEG2000-DSPE). Liposomal

Administration of sodium metavanadate (3 mg/kg) to adult female Sprague Dawley rats for 5 consecutive days by intreaeritoneal route resulted in major alterations in lipid profiles and protein concentration in all the brain regions. Sodium metavanadate exposure displayed phospholipids, cholesterol

Administration of sodium metavanadate (3 mg/kg) to adult female Sprague Dawley rats for 5 consecutive days by intraperitoneal route resulted in major alterations in lipid profiles and protein concentration in all the brain regions. Sodium metavanadate exposure displayed significant decrease in the

The phospholipid composition of normal peripheral nerve as a function of developmental age as well as that of Wallerian-degenerated nerve as a function of age at nerve transection and duration of Wallerian degeneration have been quantitated in rabbit sciatic nerve. During development, increases in

Content of total phospholipids and their individual fractions, studied in rat brain grey and white substances during postmortal autolysis, was distinctly and dissimilarly altered in these tissues and the rate of alterations depended on time of incubation. Relative content of phosphatidyl serines +

The polyunsaturated fatty acid composition of human brain changes, as well as progressively decreases, with age. To determine if whole brain rat lipid shows similar changes with age, rats born to mothers fed semi-synthetic diets were raised on the same diet as their mothers for varying periods prior

Weanling rats were fed essential fatty acid-deficient diets, either completely fat-free, or with partially hydrogenated fish oil (PHFO, 28 wt %), or with fractions derived from PHFO containing primarily positional isomers of trans-eicosenoate (20:1, 3 wt %) or trans-docosenoate (22:1, 3 wt %).

Gene mutations of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) have been discovered in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Oxidative stress also plays a role in the pathogenesis of sporadic ALS. Whether antioxidant therapy is beneficial in this fatal disease is now crucial. We have shown that SOD

OBJECTIVE To understand the difference between macular and peripheral regions, tissue samples of human retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and Bruch's membrane/choroid were dissected and analyzed for lipid composition. METHODS To facilitate dissections and enhance the recovery of tissues, eyecups

This study evaluated the efficacy of cationic nanoparticle (leciplex) to deliver carvedilol to ocular surface for glaucoma treatment as recent studies pointed out the effect of topical carvedilol on intraocular pressure, therefore carvedilol loaded leciplex formulae were prepared using soy
