BACKGROUND
Efficient clearance of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis) is a prerequisite for inflammation resolution and tissue repair. After myocardial infarction, phagocytes are recruited to the heart and promote clearance of dying cardiomyocytes. The molecular mechanisms of efferocytosis of
A 76-year-old man, diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2010, had been on nilotinib for 7 years. He presented with right hemiparesis in September 2017. He had no history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, or smoking. Brain MRI revealed a border-zone infarction of the
OBJECTIVE
This study examined whether atorvastatin increases plasma levels of soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and reciprocally decreases vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF) levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta were examined in the rat brain following striatal infarction subsequent to transient focal cerebral ischemia. Rats had the middle cerebral artery occluded for 2 h or were sham-operated, and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity was evaluated
Protein kinase C (PKC) plays an important role in ischemic preconditioning (IP). Because (1) tyrosine kinase is located at the downstream of PKC for IP in the rabbit hearts and (2) we have reported that ecto-5'-nucleotidase is the substrate for PKC and plays a crucial role for the infarct
The present study tested the hypothesis that one or more tyrosine kinase(s) are downstream of protein kinase C (PKC) in the signal transduction pathway responsible for the cardioprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning (PC). Isolated rabbit hearts were subjected to 30 min of regional ischemia
The determinations were carried out in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of 40 patients with recent cerebral infarction and 30 controls. Tryptophan concentration was determined by the fluorimetric method of Denckla and Dewey, and tyrosine concentration by the method of Waalkes and Udenfried. A
Although Src protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) have been shown to be essential in late preconditioning (PC) against myocardial stunning, their role in triggering versus mediating late PC against myocardial infarction remains unclear. Four groups of conscious rabbits were subjected to a 30-min coronary
Variations of blood 11-HOCS and tyrosine suggested as an indicator of tissue glucocorticoid provision were investigated in 54 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Where AMI takes a favourable course, the adrenocortical activity meets bodily requirements in about 25% of patients, whereas
Background: Under conditions of oxidative stress, hydroxyl radicals can oxidize phenylalanine (Phe) into various tyrosine (Tyr) isomers (meta-, ortho-, and para-tyrosine; m-, o-, and p-Tyr), depending on the location of the hydroxyl group
OBJECTIVE
Angiogenic factors play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and show pronounced changes during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We analysed the impact of placental growth factor (PlGF) and its endogen opponent, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), on clinical
Sudden and unexpected death from myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most commonly observed findings in forensic medicine. To investigate the biochemical and genetic background of this disease we investigated the genotypes for two polymorphisms associated with hypertension: TH01, a tetrameric
The distribution of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and substance P (SP) was examined in the brain-stem of 4 infants with respiratory abnormalities associated with remote brain-stem or cerebellar infarction utilizing immunohistochemical methods. TH-immunoreactive cells and SP-immunoreactive fibers were
TH01 is a tetrameric short tandem repeat locus located in intron 01 of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene. The tyrosine hydroxylase catalyzes the hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA and is the rate limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines like noradrenaline or adrenaline, which are pivotal in
Reports indicate that the administration of tyrosine, the precursor amino acid for catecholaminergic neurotransmitters, may be beneficial under conditions of physiologic stress. We studied the effects of tyrosine on vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmia in conscious pigs with healing myocardial
