beta escin/atrophy

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of beta-aescin on the selected indices of sugar and lipid metabolisms in blood and hepatic tissue. The study was performed under the conditions of toxic impairment of the liver caused by carbon tetrachloride or hydrazinsulphate which were used in

Culture of dispersed smooth muscle cells is known to cause rapid modulation from the contractile to the synthetic cellular phenotype. However, organ culture of smooth muscle tissue, with maintained extracellular matrix and cell-cell contacts, may facilitate maintenance of the contractile phenotype.

BACKGROUND Phosphorylation of the regulatory light chain of myosin (MLC) has roles in cardiac function. In vitro, myosin phosphatase target subunit 2 (MYPT2) is a strongly suspected regulatory subunit of cardiac myosin phosphatase (MP), but there is no in-vivo evidence regarding the functions of
