Water-miscible ionic liquids (ILs) may be salted out using kosmotropic salts such as potassium phosphate (K3PO4) to form salt-salt aqueous biphasic systems (ABS). The effect of temperature on these systems has been studied ...

Introduction: Severe inflammation may induce body temperature (Tb) reduction instead of fever. In this situation, morbidity and mortality is generally higher. In mammals, based on experimental models of rats injected with ...

1 In the guinea-pig ileum the C-terminal hexapeptide of the endothelins, endothelin (16-21), induced a biphasic effect (relaxation followed by contraction) qualitatively similar to that seen in the responses to endothelins ...

In the guinea-pig ileum, both sarafotoxin S6c and IRL1620 (Suc-[Glu(9),Ala(11,15)]endothelin-1-(8-21) induced a concentration-dependent biphasic effect (relaxation and contraction), but distinct tachyphylaxis of the tissue. ...

In the history of medicine, the treatment of disease has been influenced by an intimate contact with nature. A mice model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury was used to evaluate the protective effects ...

Background Research in humans has demonstrated that high serum iron (sFe) concentration can predispose to infection, and many infections subsequently result in alterations of host sFe. A decrease in sFe concentration is ...
