dihydroxyacetone/necrosis

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) was examined to explore its trypanocidal activity. The compound is easily taken up by trypanosomes via its aquaglyceroporins but is not converted to a glycolytic intermediate due to the lack of a respective kinase. Investigating the DHA-induced cell death it became evident

Reducing blood oxygen affinity may enhance myocardial oxygen delivery during ischemia. We evaluated this hypothesis in awake, previously instrumented dogs that received a 20 ml/kg infusion of a solution of dihydroxyacetone, phosphate, and pyruvate after acute occlusion of either the left anterior

Dihydroxyacetone (DHAT) is a color additive that is added to sunless tanning products to produce an artificial tan. Although this agent has been used extensively as safe sunless tanning, no published data are available to judge whether the abuse of DHAT causes a potential hazard to the human skin.

Differences in the ability of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans (CNVN) and var. gattii (CNVG) to establish localized lesions in the lungs of healthy humans remain unexplained. In this study, CNVG infection in a rat model was characterized by early neutrophil invasion into lung tissue, but

The quinoxalinone anxiolytic, panadiplon, produces hepatic metabolic inhibition (mitochondrial impairment), microvesicular steatosis and centrilobular necrosis in rabbits. Metabolic inhibition occurs in cultured hepatocytes without cytotoxicity, suggesting that hepatic injury is influenced by

A crucial and distinctive feature of tuberculosis infection is that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resides in granulomatous lesion at various stages of disease development and necrosis, an aspect that is little understood. We used a novel approach, applying high resolution magic angle spinning
