Effect of magnetic field on peroxidase activities of soybean tissue culture
(DIAGNOSIS PRESS LTD, 67 DONDUKOV BLVD, 1504 SOFIA, BULGARIA, 2007-05)
In this study, the aim was to determine the effect of magnetic field on peroxidase activities of soybean tissue culture. Shoot tips were put into petri dishes and exposed to a magnetic field for a period of 2.2 and 19.8 s ...
Calpain inhibitor AK 295 inhibits calpain-induced apoptosis and improves neurologic function after traumatic spinal cord injury in rats
(Soc Espanola Neurocirugia, C/O Dr Poza, Gran Via Salzillo 42, 30005 Murcia, Spain, 2009-06)
Background. An increase in the level of intracellular calcium activates the calcium-dependent neutral protease calpain, which in turn leads to cellular dysfunction and cell death after an insult to the central nervous ...
Serum Adipocytokine Levels in Prostate Cancer Patients
(Karger, Allschwilerstrasse 10, Ch-4009 Basel, Switzerland, 2009)
Introduction: We estimated the circulating levels of adipocytokines such as adiponectin and leptin in nonobese nondiabetic prostate cancer (PCa) patients and compared the results with controls and benign prostate hyperplasia ...
Tauroursodeoxycholic acid and secondary damage after spinal cord injury in rats
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, JOURNAL PRODUCTION DEPT, ROBERT STEVENSON HOUSE, 1-3 BAXTERS PLACE, LEITH WALK, EDINBURGH EH1 3AF, MIDLOTHIAN, SCOTLAND, 2008-06)
Greater clinical understanding of the pivotal role of apoptosis in spinal cord injury (SCI) has led to new and innovative apoptosisbased therapies for patients with an SCL Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a biliary ...

(Drunpp-Sarajevo, Bolnicka Bb, Sarajevo, 71000, Bosnia & Herceg, 2010)
Background: Percutaneous valve replacement is a relatively new treatment modality that is rapidly growing in application.
Aim&Objectives: Percutaneous treatment of valve diseases has been an alternative to open surgery ...
Characterization of GH-1 Mutations in Children with Isolated Growth Hormone Deficiency in the Turkish Population
(FREUND PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, PO BOX 35010, TEL AVIV 61350, ISRAEL, 2009-10)
Isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) is defined as a medical condition associated with growth failure due to insufficient production of growth hormone (GH) or lack of growth hormone action. It occurs with an incidence ...
Effects of Magnetic Field on Activity of Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase in Glycine max (L.) Merr. Roots
(Hard, Post-Office Box, 10-718 Olsztyn 5, Poland, 2009)
Under a magnetic field the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in vitro and in vivo and accompanying activities of catalase activity in vivo were investigated in soybean roots. In plant cells a magnetic field creates ...
Inhibition Of Ornithine Decarboxylase Alters The Roscovitine-Induced Mitochondrial-Mediated Apoptosis In MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells
(Spandidos Publ Ltd, Pob 18179, Athens, 116 10, Greece, 2012-05)
Polyamines (PAs) are small aliphatic amines that play a major role in multicellular functions. The PA levels are controlled by ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rate limiting enzyme of PA biosynthesis. alpha-difluoromet ...
Polyamine Depletion Enhances The Roscovitine-Induced Apoptosis Through The Activation Of Mitochondria In HCT116 Colon Carcinoma Cells
(Springer, 233 Spring St, New York, Ny 10013 Usa, 2012-02)
Small molecule inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) show high therapeutic potential in various cancer types which are characterized by the accumulation of transformed cells due to impaired apoptotic machinery. ...
