The activity of poly(adenosine diphosphoribose) polymerase was measured in isolated rat pancreatic nuclei and was found to increase during pancreatic nuclei which follows an ethionine treatment, although a possible relationship of enzyme activity to the initial degenerative phase may also be
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the role of vitamin supplements (Ocuvite, Vitalux Omega, and Nutrof Total) as possible inhibitors of the onset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
METHODS
The anti-aggregating effect of each vitamin was determined against
A dose-related inhibition by halothane of adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation was measured for human platelets in plasma anticoagulated with sodium citrate 6.8 mmol litre-1 or 13.6 mmol litre-1, or heparin 2 u. ml-1 and for platelets separated from plasma by albumin density gradient
Experiments were conducted to determine the relationship of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (SeGSHpx) activity to the onset of nutritional pancreatic atrophy (NPA) in chicks. Chicks produced from hens fed a low Se, low vitamin E practical diet had low activities of SeGSHpx in plasma and
BACKGROUND
Washing of platelets is an important procedure commonly used for experimental studies, e.g. in cardiovascular research. As a known phenomenon, responsiveness to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is reduced in washed platelets, although underlying molecular mechanisms-potentially interfering
OBJECTIVE
We tested the hypothesis that severe alterations in myocardial energy metabolism play an important role in the pathophysiology of human hibernating myocardium (HHM).
BACKGROUND
It is well established that a disturbed myocardial energy metabolism results in impairments of contractile
BACKGROUND
Platelets are important for effective hemostasis and considered to be involved in pathophysiological processes, e.g. in cardiovascular diseases. Platelets provided for research or for therapeutic use are frequently separated from citrated whole blood (WB) stored for different periods of
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the possible role of caspase-3 in retinal photic injury, and to investigate whether minocycline can ameliorate light-induced photoreceptor degeneration.
METHODS
Retinal photic injury was induced in rats by exposure to intense light. Expression of caspase-3 was studied using
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the associations between CYP2C19 genotypes and early neurological deterioration (END), and to carry out a stratified analysis of the effectiveness of clopidogrel alone and dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin for prevention of END according to CYP2C19
UNASSIGNED
The relationship between response to clopidogrel and early neurological deterioration (END) after acute ischemic stroke (IS) is not well defined. The aim of present study was to evaluate the associations of clopidogrel resistance (CR) with END, and stratified analyze the effectiveness of
A group of 100 patients with intermittent claudication (70 male, 30 female), treated with I00 mg ASA per day, were followed over 18 months after elective percutaneous balloon angioplasty. Platelet function was monitored over a period of 12 months by corrected whole blood aggregometry (CWBA). Upon
Although amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide can promote tau pathology and its toxicity is concurrently tau-dependent, the underlying mechanisms of the in vivo interplay of these proteins remain unsolved. Structural and functional mitochondrial alterations play an early, precipitating role in synaptic failure
A 2-year randomized placebo-controlled double-blind trial of 250 mg day-1 of the aldose reductase inhibitor Sorbinil in severe symptomatic chronic peripheral neuropathy was performed in 21 diabetic patients. Due to adverse reactions 8 patients completed the trial on Sorbinil and 6 patients on
BACKGROUND
Tankyrases are poly(adenosine diphosphate)-ribose polymerases that contribute to biological processes as diverse as modulation of Wnt signaling, telomere maintenance, vesicle trafficking, and microtubule-dependent spindle pole assembly during mitosis. At interphase, polarized reshaping of
Plectin, a versatile 500-kDa cytolinker protein, is essential for muscle fiber integrity and function. The most common disease caused by mutations in the human plectin gene, epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy (EBS-MD), is characterized by severe skin blistering and progressive
