lecithin/necrosis

The effects of intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) were investigated in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). Injection of 20 micrograms/kg of LPS from E. coli (serotype 055:B5) into cynomolgus monkeys fed a monkey chow diet caused a twofold

BACKGROUND Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) may play a central role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic acinar cell necrosis. Several questions, however, are unsolved: Is acinar cell necrosis caused by PLA2 derived from infiltrating leukocytes or from pancreatic PLA2 itself? Does PLA2 cause cellular lysis by

OBJECTIVE To find out if fish oil given intraperitoneally would cause a reduction in the release of tumour necrosis factor and interleukin-6 in abdominal exudate and blood (experiment A), and if it reduces the incidence of organ failure in rats with peritonitis (experiment B). METHODS Laboratory

1. Changes which occur in the fat content of the liver of dogs receiving haemotoxic serum bear no relation to the degree of necrosis produced by this serum. 2. An increase in water content of the tissue seldom occurs, but where present is due to the nitrogenous autolysis rather than to the

Lecithin microcapsules containing gadolinium (Gd) were designed and prepared as a dosage form for intraarterial administration to accumulate Gd in tumors in neutron capture therapy. The microcapsules were composed of 1) a lactose core, 2) a layer of distearylamide of gadopentetic acid (Gd-DTPA-SAm)

Lipoproteins are synthesized by the liver and secreted to plasma. Chronic alcoholic intoxication produces frequently cirrhosis and concomitantly alterations in liver metabolism. Thirty patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and 83 healthy controls were selected for this study. Apolipoprotein A1, B100,

A complex of curcumin and lecithin developed to improve the solubility of curcumin, enhanced its chondroprotective effect via an anti-inflammatory mechanism. In macrophage, proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and

We studied the efficacy and safety of oral tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA) combined with lecithin in 52 patients with Alzheimer's disease. The maximal tolerated dose of THA (up to 100 mg per day) was determined during an eight-week titration period, after which the tolerated dose of THA or placebo was

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the principal cause of death in both developed and developing countries. The present study was intended to appraise the nutraceutical inherent of HPLC standardized Spinacia oleracea methanolic leaf extract (SoLE) in isoproterenol (ISO) induced male albino Wistar

Fractional and molar rates of lecithin:cholesterol aminotransferase (LCAT)-catalyzed reaction were decreased, while free cholesterol fraction was increased in blood serum of rats within 24 hrs after single administration of CCl4 I mg/kg. Cathergene, contributing to a decrease in hepatocyte necrosis,

Because the liver plays an important role in protein synthesis and cholesterol metabolism and reductions in these functions are observed in almost all hepatic disorders, the effects of the deleted form of hepatocyte growth factor (dHGF) on disordered hepatic protein synthesis were studied in various

TiO(2) is considered to be toxicologically inert, at least under nonoverload conditions. To study if there are differences in lung effects of surface treated or untreated TiO(2) we investigated the inflammatory and genotoxic lung effects of two types of commercially available TiO(2) at low doses

METHODS Enhanced adiposity and metabolic inflammation are major features of obesity that could be impacted by dietary emulsifiers. We investigated in high-fat fed mice the effects of using a new polar lipid (PL) emulsifier from milk (MPL) instead of soybean lecithin (soybean PL [SPL]) on adipose

Lipid-soluble phosphatidylcholine (PC) and aqueous free choline are absorbed and metabolized differently, but the metabolic effects of feeding these 2 forms of choline have not been thoroughly investigated. We sought to compare the effects of PC and free choline in the maternal diet on the

Mucoadhesive chitosan-coated nanoemulsions for rosmarinic acid (RA) nasal delivery were optimized. The optimum ratio between the formulation components that led to minimum droplet size and PDI, and maximal ζ-potential and RA content was obtained using Box-Behnken design (BBD). Optimized conditions
