OBJECTIVE
Inflammation related processes play a key role in the current etiologic model of atherosclerosis and its acute complications. In addition, platelet-derived growth factors stimulate the neointimal proliferation of restenosis after coronary interventions. Reducing platelet accumulation at
Expression of ZmCPK11, a member of the maize (Zea mays) calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) family, is induced by mechanical wounding. A rapid increase of the activity of a 56-kDa CDPK has been observed in damaged leaves. In the present work, it is shown that the 56-kDa CDPK, identified as
The effect of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on proliferation of human T-cells in vitro was compared to other polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids. Monoenes and saturated fatty acids had little effect on T-cell proliferation. Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic
Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are plant proteins that are induced in response to pathogen attack. PR proteins are grouped into independent families based on their sequences and properties. The PR-4 family comprises class I and class II chitinases. We have isolated a full-length cDNA encoding a
The present studies examined the effect of agents that induce peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation on hepatic mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) and peroxisomal carnitine acyltransferase [CPTs of Ramsay (1988) Biochem. J. 249, 239-245; COT of Farrell & Bieber (1983) Arch.
