Effects of zinc on structural characteristics of proteoglycans synthesized by proliferating and hypertrophic chondrocytes in culture
(1996)
Zinc (Zn) supplementation has been shown to stimulate longitudinal growth under marginal nutritional status. The mechanisms by which Zn stimulates longitudinal growth are still unknown. We have previously investigated the ...
Fatty acid oxidation catalized by cytochrome P450 and peroximes in kidney of rats in different metabolic states. A comparative study between liver and kidney
(1997)
The kidney response to exogenous inducers is known to he different to the liver, but its response to endogenous factors is poorly known. The <ioxidation of palmitoil CoA catalized by the peroxisomes and the lanrir arid ...
IGF-1 activates polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis, protein kinase C isoforms and ERK pathway in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes
(1997)
Because IGF- lisa natural cardioprotective which migh; improve cardiac function and stimulates growth and proliferation of carfiac myocytes, there is considerable interest to elucidate the molecular f!iechanisms by which ...
Lysozyme inactivation by free radicals can occur independently of reactive carbonyl formation
(1997)
The relationship between the free radical-induced loss of lysozyme activity and the occurrence of oxidative modifications, evidenced as gain in DNPHreactive carbonyl groups (CO) and loss of tryptophan-associated fluorescence ...
Smoking effects on prolactin levels at pregnancy and lactation
(1997)
The effect of smoking on prolactin levels was studied on women of different nutritional status, at the end of pregnancy and in the first month of lactation Smoking (S, n=74) and non-smoking pregnant (NS, n=67) women were ...
Modulation of rat liver microsomal and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation by different metabolic states
(1997)
The w-hydroxylation of a fatty acid catalized by cytochrome P450 and its last oxidation catalized by an alcohol and aldehyde dehidrogenase, generate the corresponding dicarboxylic acid, preferentially chain shortened by ...
Defense mechanism of citrus limon seedlings against fungal pathogens: signal transduction and pal gene
(1997)
Citrus limon seedlings respond to fungat attack inducing the phenylpropanoid pathway producing phytoalexins. The de nero synthesis of one of the main enzymes, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), is accomplished after 24 ...
Determination of the taste threshold of copper in water
(2001)
Copper effects on human health represent a relevant issue in modern nutrition. One of the difficulties in assessing the early, acute effects of copper ingested via drinking water is that the taste of copper may influence ...
