Hemodynamic forces play an active role in vascular pathologies, particularly in relation to the localization of atherosclerotic lesions. It has been established that low shear stress combined with cyclic reversal of flow direction (oscillatory shear stress ...
Corticosteroid actions at the brain can modulate neural function and behavioral processes. Classic corticosteroid effects are mediated through intracellular receptors which act primarily by regulation of DNA transcription. However, an alternative nongenomi ...
We report in this paper on the electrochemical formation of nickel tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (NiTSPc) based films on bulk Pt disk microelectrodes (diameter d = 50 μm) and thin-film Pt microdisk (diameter d = 10 μm) arrays for the realisation of Pt bas ...
The discharge of synthetic and natural steroid estrogens from municipal wastewaters to the aquatic environment has received increased attention because of their potential reproductive effects on fish. Using 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) as a representati ...
The inhibitory impacts of the bioconversion of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) to 2-phenylethanol (PEA), a very important natural aroma compd., on the metab. of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Giv 2009 were investigated in batch and chemostat cultures. The bioconversion ...
Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) play an essential role in host defence against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the mouse model of tuberculosis (TB), as evidenced by the increased susceptibility of mice deficient in the inducible isoform of nitric oxide ...
A tight coupling exists between neuronal activity and energy metabolism. Over a century ago Roy and Sherrington postulated that “the brain possesses intrinsic mechanisms by which its vascular supply can be varied locally in correspondence with local variat ...
The spontaneous locomotor behavior of rats receiving subcutaneous administration of either acidic or basic fibroblast growth factors was recorded in an activity cage. We report that doses between 1 and 100 micrograms/kg significantly decreased the horizont ...
In the central nervous system, nitric oxide has been proposed to be a retrograde messenger mediating learning and synaptic plasticity. Since only pretraining injections of nitric oxide synthesis inhibitors were shown to impair learning, we examined the pos ...
BACKGROUND: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) plays an important role in the metabolism of lipoproteins and fatty acids, and seems to protect against the development of atherosclerosis. To evaluate the possible protective rol ...
