stearic acid/fever

Malignant hyperthermia is caused by an abnormal increase in Ca2+ levels in skeletal muscle in response to anesthetics, including halothane. Since fatty acid production is elevated in skeletal muscle from individuals with malignant hyperthermia, the effects of fatty acids on the threshold of

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common and lethal complication of surgery. In the clinic, thrombolytic drugs are primarily used for treating DVT. However, the utilization of thrombolytic drugs is limited due to the risk of urokinase (UK)-related hemorrhagic complications. In this paper, a binary

Skeletal muscle sarcolemma (SL), transverse tubule (TT) and heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) membranes were isolated from malignant hyperthermia susceptible (MHS) and normal pigs, and the rotational dynamics of lipid hydrocarbon chain motion was examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)

Structural and functional characteristics of erythrocytes and isolated erythrocyte membranes from known malignant hyperthermia (MH) carriers have been examined in the hope of deriving some information concerning the underlying molecular basis of this genetic abnormality, which may represent a state

The fluidity state was analyzed on sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes and phospholipid vesicles prepared from normal and malignant hyperthermia susceptible pig muscle. Electron spin resonance studies were performed to determine the fluidity state at the region near the polar headgroups and in the

Wide attention has been given to hyperthermia as a new measure for cancer treatment. Clinical trials of hyperthermia, as they possess antitumour activity on some occasions. When cells were incubated with oleic we examine if fatty acids exert a synergistic effect on Ehrlich ascites tumour cells when

The temperature dependence of ATPase activities and stearic acid spin label motion in red blood cells of normal and MH-susceptible pigs have been examined. Arrhenius plots of red blood cell ghost Ca-ATPase and calmodulin-stimulable Ca-ATPase activities were identical for both normal and MH

BACKGROUND Viola odorata L. belongs to Violaceae family and is native to Iran. It is used in the form of Almond-Violet oil in traditional Persian medicine (TPM) since ancient times. Almond-Violet oil was used for the treatment of insomnia, headache, cough, and fever based on TPM textbooks. There are

BACKGROUND Thespesia populnea Sol. ex Correa (Malvaceae) is commonly known as "Indian tulip tree". The plant has been used as an astringent, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive and hepatoprotective in Indian system of traditional medicine. METHODS Thespesia populnea seeds were
