Studies of peculiarities of acetylation with the use of sulfadimidine showed the distribution of female white non-bred mice into two groups - with high and low activity. In C3H/He mice a relatively high activity of sulfadimidine acetylation was observed, while in C57BL/He mice a low activity of

Experimental studies suggest a protective effect of B-vitamins on breast cancer risk, potentially modulated by alcohol intake. However, epidemiological studies are limited, especially regarding non-folate B-vitamins. Furthermore, few studies included quantitative assessment of supplemental intake.

High intakes of the macronutrients--proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates in the form of excess energy-have some cancer stimulating properties. On the contrary, epidemiologic and animal laboratory data indicate that high-level supplementation of some micronutrients--certain vitamins, minerals, and

The objective of this study was to investigate functional and molecular evidence of carrier mediated system responsible for biotin uptake in breast cancer (T47D) cells and to delineate mechanism of intracellular regulation of this transporter. Cellular accumulation of [3H] biotin was studied in T47D

Activated granulocytes play an important role in propagation of the inflammatory response by production of reactive oxygen species and release of their granule content. Hyperactivation of these cells is suggested to result in deterioration of wound healing and, probably, increase of cicatrization.

BACKGROUND Modifying lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise can reduce the risk of cancer. Psychological stress (PS) might be indirectly associated with cancer because it alters lifestyle factors. However, the relationship among these variables has not been fully investigated. Thus, we examined

Iodide (I(-)) is an essential constituent of the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine, which are required for the development of the central nervous system in the fetus and newborn. I(-) uptake in the thyroid is mediated by the Na(+)/I(-) symporter (NIS). NIS has gained particular medical

UNASSIGNED The signaling molecules TNF-α, AP-1, and NF-κB act to integrate multiple stress signals into a series of diverse antiproliferative responses. Disruption of these processes can promote tumor progression and chemoresistance. Naturally occurring plant derived compounds are considered as

The relationship between the consumption of meat and health is multifaceted, and it needs to be analyzed in detail, with specific attention to the relevant differences that characterize the effects of the different meat types, as yet considered by only a limited literature. A variable but moderate

Milk and dairy products contain multiple nutrients and contribute significantly to meet the nutritional requirements for protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, selenium, vitamin A, riboflavin, vitamin B-12, and pantothenic acid. However, consumption of dairy is decreasing and
