Chromosomal aberrations and nucleic acids systems affected by some Egyptian medicinal plants used in treating female pregnant diabetic rats
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-04)
The influences of medicinal plants Juniperus Phoenicea (Araar), Hyphaene thebaica (Doum), An-astatica hierochuntica (Kafta) and Cleome droserifolia (Sammo) as antidiabetic agents were investigated using female pregnant ...
Cyclosporin A inhibits the growth of neonatal MHC-expressing myotubes independent of NFATc1 and NFATc3 in the mechanically overloaded soleus muscle of mice
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-04)
ABSTRACT The molecular signaling pathway linked to hyper-trophy of the anti-gravity/postural soleus muscle af-ter mechanical overloading has not been identified. Using Western blot and immunohistochemical analy-ses, we ...
Cytosolic chaperonin CCT possesses GTPase activity
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)
Cytosolic chaperonin CCT (also known as TRiC) is a hetero-oligomeric cage-like molecular chaperone that assists in protein folding by ATPase cycle-dependent conformational changes. However, role of the nucleo-tide binding ...
N–nitrosodiethylamine cytochrome P450 induction and cytotoxicity evaluation in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-07)
The primary routes of potential human exposure to N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) are ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Air, diet and smoking contribute to potential human exposure at levels of a few µg of NDEA/day. ...
EGR1 is essential for transcriptional regulation of BMPR2
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)
In this study, RLM-RACE was used to identify the transcriptional start site 387 bp upstream of the translational start. Evolutionarily conserved transcription factor binding sites were identified, and a series of luciferase ...
Ghrelin-induced cSrc activation through constitutive nitric oxide synthase-dependent S-nitrosylation in modulation of salivary gland acinar cell inflammatory responses to Porphyromonas gingivalis
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-07)
A peptide hormone, ghrelin, recognized for its role in the regulation of nitric oxide production has emerged as an important modulator of oral mucosal inflammatory responses to periodontopathic bacterium, P. gingivalis. ...
