In vitro basal and metabolism-mediated cytotoxicity of flavonoids
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-06-01)
The purpose of this study was to compare the basal cytotoxicity and metabolism-mediated cytotoxicity of kaempferol, quercetin and rutin. McCoy cells were exposed to various concentrations of the flavonols with and without ...
Metabolic consequences of intermittent hypoxia: Relevance to obstructive sleep apnea
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2010)
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent obstruction of the upper airway leading to sleep fragmentation and intermittent hypoxia (IH) during sleep. There is growing evidence from animal models of OSA that IH is independently ...
Early metabolic derangements in daughters of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Endocrine Society, 2007)
Context: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a familial endocrine-metabolic dysfunction, increasingly recognized in adolescent girls with hyperandrogenism. However, it is difficult to establish whether the metabolic ...

(Univ Chicago Press, 2006-05-01)
The diurnal tegu lizard Tupinambis merianae exhibits a marked circadian variation in metabolism that is characterized by the significant increase in metabolism during part of the day. These increases in metabolic rate, ...
Metabolism and brain cancer
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2011)
Cellular energy metabolism is one of the main processes affected during the transition from normal to cancer cells, and it is a crucial determinant of cell proliferation or cell death. As a support for rapid proliferation, ...
