p-Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives (p-HBADs) are glycoconjugates secreted by all Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates whose contribution to pathogenicity remains to be determined. The pathogenicity of three transposon mutants of M. tuberculosis deficient in the biosynthesis of some or all forms of
Over-activated microglial cells are known to be implicated in various neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis. Our previous reports have shown that ZL006, a compound with a hydrophobic ring A and a hydrophilic ring B with a carboxyl
METHODS
Flavonoids are generally studied in vitro, in isolation, and as unmetabolized precursor structures. However, in the habitual diet, multiple flavonoids are consumed together and found present in the circulation as complex mixtures of metabolites. Using a unique study design, we investigated
The hepatic centrilobular necrosis produced by the analgesic/antipyretic acetaminophen correlates with metabolic activation of the drug leading to its covalent binding to protein. However, the molecular mechanism of the toxicity is not known. Recent immunohistochemical analyses using an
BACKGROUND
Rosacea, a common chronic skin disorder, is currently managed by patient education, pharmacological drugs, medical devices (laser and light therapies), and use of proper skin cares. Unfortunately, none of these actual treatments used alone or in combination is curative, and so we proposed
This study hypothesized that the predominant strawberry anthocyanin, pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside (Pg-3-glc), and 3 of its plasma metabolites (4-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and phloroglucinaldehyde [PGA]) would affect phagocytosis, oxidative burst, and the production of selected pro- and
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of MEN 11467 (1R,2S)-2-N[1(H)indol-3-yl-carbonyl]-1-N{N-(p-tolylacetyl)-N-(meth yl)-D-3(2-Naphthyl)alanyl}diaminocyclohexane), a new potent tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonist, in an experimental model of acute rectocolitis induced by an enema with
This study used both microscopic and biochemical analyses to investigate the possible defense responses induced by acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and potassium phosphite (Phi) in mango plants inoculated with Ceratocystis fimbriata. Disease development was evaluated in the stems of inoculated mango
BACKGROUND
Cereals naturally contain a great variety of polyphenols, which exert a wide range of physiological effects both in vitro and in vivo. Many of their protective effects, including an improvement of the function and redox state of immune cells in unhealthy or aged subjects come from their
Epidemiological evidence suggests cardioprotective effects of anthocyanin consumption. This study examined the predominant strawberry anthocyanin, pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside (Pg-3-glc), and three of its plasma metabolites (protocatechuic acid [PCA], 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and phloroglucinaldehyde
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of diet supplementation with polyphenols on several functions suffering age-related changes, in peritoneal leucocytes from mature and old mice.
METHODS
Five groups of female ICR mice were used. Four groups received a supplementation (20% wt/wt) of biscuits with
