Unraveling the impact of arsenic on the redox response of peanut plants inoculated with two different Bradyrhizobium sp. strains
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-11)
Arsenic (As) can be present naturally in groundwater from peanut fields, constituting a serious problem, as roots can accumulate and mobilize the metalloid to their edible parts. Understanding the redox changes in the ...
Novel antiadipogenic effect of menadione in 3T3-L1 cells
(Elsevier Ireland, 2021-07-01)
Inhibition of adipocyte differentiation can be used as a strategy for preventing adipose tissue expansion and, consequently, for obesity management. Since reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as key modulators of ...
Hemeproteins as targets for sulfide species
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020-01-02)
The binding of sulfide to ferric hemeproteins has been described in more than 40 systems, including native proteins, mutants, and model systems. Mechanisms of sulfide binding to ferric hemeproteins have been examined by a ...
Tissue factor at the crossroad of coagulation and cell signaling
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07)
The tissue factor (TF) pathway plays a central role in hemostasis and thrombo-inflammatory diseases. Although structure-function relationships of the TF initiation complex are elucidated, new facets of the dynamic regulation ...
Heat shock proteins in the context of photodynamic therapy: Autophagy, apoptosis and immunogenic cell death
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-07)
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an anti-tumor treatment administered for the elimination of early-stage malignancies and the palliation of symptoms in patients with late-stage tumors, which involves the activation of a ...
Nitric Oxide Reactivity with Globins as Investigated Through Computer Simulation
(Elsevier Academic Press Inc, 2008-12)
This chapter reviews the application of classical and quantum-mechanical atomistic simulation tools used in the investigation of several relevant issues in nitric oxide reactivity with globins and presents different ...
Nitrosylation: An adverse factor in Uremic Haemolytic Syndrome. Antitoxin effect of Ziziphus mistol Griseb
(Elsevier, 2013-02)
Toxins of Escherichia coli (STEC) causing Uremic Hemolytic Syndrome (UHS) generate oxidative stress in human blood with more production of nitric oxide (NO) than reactive oxygen species (ROS). Shiga toxin (Stx) together ...
Presence of vitamin D3 receptor (VDR)-like proteins in solanum glaucophyllum
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2006-07-26)
The detection of 1α,25(OH)2‐vitamin D3 [1α,25(OH)2D3] in Solanum glaucophyllum and other plant species has been reported. Little is known about the mode of action of 1α,25(OH)2D3 in plants. The steroid acts in animal systems ...
Differential Expression of Immunogenic Proteins on Virulent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Clinical Isolates
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-07)
Molecular epidemiology has revealed that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), formerly regarded as highly conserved species, displays a considerable degree of genetic variability that can influence the outcome of the disease ...
Seminal plasma proteins interacting with sperm surface revert capacitation indicators in frozen-thawed ram sperm
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of interacting seminal plasma proteins (iSPP) obtained by AV or EE on frozen-thawed ram sperm in order to test the hypothesis whether this fraction could be sufficient to ...
