On 58 healthy subjects, it was evaluated in endoscopic and histopathologic form, the cytoprotective effect on the gastroduodenal mucosa, such of T.G.E 1 (misoprostol) as of SAMe, in the present of acute bleeding gastritis induced by 1300 mg aspirin in a single dose and during 2 hours. SAMe was given

Previous studies have suggested that the metabolism of methyl groups is an important factor in the function of the exocrine pancreas. Ethionine, an inhibitor of cellular methylation reactions, produces hemorrhagic pancreatitis when administered to mice fed a choline-deficient diet. Glycine

Several experimental studies suggest that disturbed methylation can influence cellular differentiation in the pancreas and contribute to toxic injury in ways that enhance the pathogenesis of pancreatitis and carcinogenesis. In vitro development of fetal rat pancreas requires a basal level of

A combination of adenosine (Ado) and homocysteine (Homo) enhances tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo in several tumor cells. Ado and Homo at concentrations that enhanced TNF-alpha-mediated cytotoxicity accumulated S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) and as consequence

Dengue virus (DENV), a member of mosquito-borne flavivirus, causes self-limiting dengue fever as well as life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Its positive sense RNA genome has a cap at the 5'-end and no poly(A) tail at the 3'-end. The viral RNA encodes a single

METHODS A 4-year-old 29-kg (63.8-lb) spayed female Husky crossbred was referred for emergency treatment because of catastrophic hemorrhagic shock following attempts at cystocentesis for investigation of suspected urinary tract infection. RESULTS On arrival at the hospital, clinicopathologic

Cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) catalyzes the condensation of homocysteine (Hcy) and serine to cystathionine, which is then hydrolyzed to cysteine by cystathionine gamma-lyase. Inactivation of CBS results in CBS-deficient homocystinuria more commonly referred to as classical homocystinuria, which,

The key to symptomatology in uremia is nitrogen retention leading to amidination and transmidination of a variety of substrates. The product of this activity is a series of guanidino acids which are methyl receptors converting S-adenosylmethionine to adenosine and homocysteine. Adenosine is a potent

L-arginine is a source of nitric oxide (NO) that is cleaved from the terminal guanidino nitrogen atom by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NO evokes, because of its free radical properties and affinity to heme, ferrous iron and cysteine, a wide spectrum of physiological and pathophysiological effects.

The gaseous physiological modulator hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) has recently been shown to exert a variety of neuroprotective effects. In particular, the treatment of transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with agents that release H₂S aids preservation of cognitive
