Mechanisms of liver fibrosis associated with experimental fasciola hepatica infection: Roles of Fas2 proteinase and hepatic stellate cell activation
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2011)
We have evaluated the possible mechanisms of liver fibrosis caused by Fasciola hepatica in an animal model and in culture using immortalized human stellate cells. Liver biopsies of F. hepatica-infected rats were performed ...
Ions Diffusion and Electrodynamics Interactions Inside Pancreatic Beta Cells
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics EngineersPE, 2020-12-16)
In this paper a hybrid scheme given by diffusion equation in conjunction to classical electrodynamics to examine physics-based mechanisms behind the behavior of beta cells, is presented. Particular attention is paid on the ...
Interleukin-1ß regulates nitric oxide production and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase activity in Sertoli cells
(American Society of Andrology, 2000-12)
Several cytokines have been involved in the regulation of Sertoli cell function. Further investigations are required to elucidate the role of interleukin-1beta (IL1beta) in Sertoli cell physiology. Twenty-day-old rat ...
Participation of HSP27 in the antiapoptotic action of 17β-estradiol in skeletal muscle cells
(Springer, 2010-03)
Exposure to 17β-estradiol prior to induction of apoptosis protects skeletal muscle cells against damage. The mechanism involved in this protective action of the hormone is poorly understood. In the present study, using the ...
Progestin activation of nongenomic pathways via cross talk of progesterone receptor with estrogen receptor beta induces proliferation of endometrial stromal cells
(Endocrine Society, 2005-12)
Uterine decidualization is characterized by stromal cell proliferation and differentiation, which are controlled by ovarian hormones estradiol and progesterone. Here we report that the proliferative response of UIII rat ...
