Evidence of eosinophil extracellular trap cell death in copd: Does it represent the trigger that switches on the disease?
(Dove Press, 2017-03)
In spite of the numerous studies on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the cellular and molecular basis of the disease’s development remain unclear. Neutrophils and eosinophils are known to be key players in ...
Short-term exposure to ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulphur dioxide and emergency department visits and hospital admissions due to asthma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-05)
Background: Air pollution is a major environmental hazard to human health and a leading cause of morbidity for asthma worldwide. Objectives: To assess the current evidence on short-term effects (from several hours to 7 ...
Effects of dietary conjugated linoleic acid at high-fat levels on triacylglycerol regulation in mice
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2009-04)
Objective: Our aim was to investigate the effects of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) athigh-fat (HF) levels on parameters related to triacylglycerol (TG) regulation and some potentialimpacts on liver damage.Methods: ...
Surplus killing by pumas Puma concolor: rumours and facts
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07-26)
Surplus killing (i.e. predation in which predators kill more prey than necessary to satiate their hunger) appears to be widespread in carnivores and has the potential to exacerbate human–carnivore conflict. Nevertheless, ...
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor facilitates TrkB down-regulation and neuronal injury after status epilepticus in the rat hippocampus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-10-23)
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved in many aspects of neuronal biology and hippocampal physiology. Status epilepticus (SE) is a condition in which prolonged seizures lead to neuronal degeneration. SE-induced ...
Anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect of polar extracts obtained from waste product of wine making
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-02)
A lot of diseases are characterized by an increased inflammatory response with an exacerbated production of free radicals. The anti-inflammatory effect of different compounds with antioxidant capacity, as polyphenols present ...
Oxidative stress, antioxidants and intestinal calcium absorption
(W J G Press, 2017-04)
The disequilibrium between the production of reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species and their elimination by protective mechanisms leads to oxidative stress. Mitochondria are the main source of ROS as by-products ...
Immune-metabolic balance in stressed rats during Candida albicans infection
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010-08)
We evaluated the host metabolic response to chronic varied stress during infection with the fungus Candida albicans. We used four groups of female Wistar rats: normal uninfected and unstressed, stressed, C. albicans infected ...
Particulate matter induces tissues oxinflammation: From mechanism to damage
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020-08)
Significance: Oxidative stress and oxidative damage are central hypothetical mechanisms for the adverse effects of airborne particulate matter (PM). Activation of inflammatory cells capable of generating reactive oxygen ...
Neonatal experiences with ethanol intoxication modify respiratory and thermoregulatory plasticity and affect subsequent ethanol intake in rats
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-01-19)
Different studies have focused on the deleterious consequences of binge-like or chronic exposure to ethanol during the brain growth spurt period (third human gestational trimester) that in the rat corresponds to postnatal ...
