arachidic/neoplasms

Chitosan oligosaccharide-arachidic acid (CSOAA) conjugate was successfully synthesized and used for the development of self-assembled nanoparticles for doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The molar substitution of AA on CSO and critical micelle concentration (CMC) of CSOAA were measured. Physicochemical

The effect of physiologic common free fatty acids (FFAs) on Mat 1376b ascites tumor cells in vitro and in vivo in F344 rats was investigated. Unsaturated fatty acids, such as palmitoleic (16:1), oleic (18:1), linoleic (18:2), linolenic (18:3), and arachidonic (20:4) acids, were significantly more

The assumption that cellular injury induced in infectious and in inflammatory sites might be the result of a well-orchestrated, synergistic "cross-talk" among oxidants, membrane-damaging agents, proteinases, and xenobiotics was further investigated in a tissue culture model employing monkey kidney

Medicinal plants are believed to be a precious natural reservoir as they are assumed to have paranormal effects for the mankind. Moringa oleifera grows throughout most of the tropics and has numerous industrial and medicinal uses. This review acquaints with the consequence of fera (Moringaceae), a

1,2-Dimethylhydrazine is a procarcinogen with selectivity for the colon and proximal small intestine. In weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) doses of 20 mg/kg body weight, this agent produces colonic and proximal small intestinal tumors in a high percentage of rodents with a latency period of approximately

In this study, we examined protective effect of Sargassum thunbergii on reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated oxidative stress in cellular systems. In addition, polyunsaturated fatty acids from S. thunbergii were identified and quantified by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy. Intracellular ROS

BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450- and ω-hydrolase products (epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), hydroxyeicosatetraeonic acid (20-HETE)), natural omega-3 fatty acids (ω3), and pentacyclic triterpenes have been proposed to contribute to a wide range of vaso-protective and anti-fibrotic/anti-cancer signaling

The perpetual increase in the resistance offered by biofilm-forming nosocomial pathogens has become a critical clinical challenge. Marine Streptomyces sps present a promising future of novel compounds with novel applications. We focus on the anti-biofilm activity of marine Streptomyces against two
