malate/fever

In this study, the in vitro cytotoxic effect of sunitinib malate alone and combination with hyperthermia was evaluated on MCF-7 cells (human breast adenocarcinoma cell line). For this purpose cell proliferation assay, mitotic index and labelling index analysis among cell kinetic parameters were

Two colonies of Aedes aegypti were established from two independent collections from Vero Beach, Florida. Eleven sequential generations of the first colony were tested for variation in oral susceptibility to infection with yellow fever virus (YFV). Each generation was also assayed for genetic

Correlation between glucose level in blood and liver mitochondrial energetics of 1, 10, 20-days rats under hyperglycemia and high environmental temperature (38 degrees C) has been studied. Glucose feeding led to a significant increase of glucose content in blood, this increase being less at

The administration of endotoxins to rats as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induces a state of exhaustion, in which the main symptoms are febrile hyperthermia, reduced food intake, decreased body weight, and reduced muscle performance in treadmill tests. Underlying the physiological and behavioral

Aim: This study aimed to compare hyperthermia-induced changes in respiration and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in liver mitochondria derived from animals of different gender and age. Methods: The effects of hyperthermia (40⁻47 °C) on oxidation of different substrates and ROS production

Experiments were conducted on male albino rats to study some intracellular metabolites (lactate, pyruvate, malate, glutamate, alpha-ketoglutarate, ammonia) and the redox process in the tissues of the liver, kidneys, myocardium, and skeletal muscles during hyperthermia (40 degrees C for one hour and

Gastrointestinal cancers (gastric, pancreatic and colorectal) are life-threatening diseases, which easily spread to peritoneal cavity (Juhl et al. in Int J Cancer 57:330-335, 1994; Schneider et al. in Gastroenterology 128:1606-1625, 2005; Geer and Brennan in Am J Surg 165:68-72 1993). Application of

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of hyperthermia, cisplatin and their combination on mitochondrial functions such as glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity and mitochondrial respiration rates, as well as survival of cultured ovarian adenocarcinoma OVCAR-3 cells. Cells treated for 1

Brucella abortus is a gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen that causes brucellosis, a chronic zoonotic disease resulting in abortion in pregnant cattle and undulant fever in humans. Malate dehydrogenase (MDH), a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, plays important metabolic roles

The effects of temperature on the relationships among the rates of pyruvate carboxylation, O(2) uptake (J(o)), oxidative phosphorylation (J(p)), and the free energy of ATP hydrolysis (G(p)) were studied in liver mitochondria isolated from 250-g female rats. Pyruvate carboxylation was evaluated at

Isolated anterior midguts of larval Aedes aegypti were bathed in aerated mosquito saline containing serotonin (0.2 micromol L(-1)) and perfused with NaCl (100 mmol L(-1)). The lumen negative transepithelial voltage (V(te)) was measured and luminal alkalinization was determined through the color

OBJECTIVE Concurrent inhibition of multiple oncogenic signaling pathways might improve the efficacy of anticancer agents and abrogate resistance mechanisms. This phase I study evaluated temsirolimus in combination with sunitinib in patients with advanced RCC. METHODS Eligibility included advanced

BACKGROUND In the past decade, researchers have focused on developing new biomaterials for cancer therapy that combine imaging and therapeutic agents. In our study, we use a new biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, termed poly(glycerol malate co-dodecanedioate) (PGMD), for the synthesis of

BACKGROUND Ticks (Family Ixodidae) transmit a variety of disease causing agents to humans and animals. The tick-borne flaviviruses (TBFs; family Flaviviridae) are a complex of viruses, many of which cause encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever, and represent global threats to human health and

Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which a primary mitochondrial dysfunction is proven by morphological, biochemical, and genetic examinations. The mitral valve has important function in the regulation of blood flow from one chamber to another. Often, the mitral valve
