Characterization of the elastase 1-simian virus 40 T-antigen mouse model of pancreatic carcinoma: effects of sex and diet.

Only registered users can translate articles

Elastase 1-simian virus transgenic mice, strain Tg(Ela-1, SV40E) Bri18, were studied to characterize the development of pancreatic neoplasms. The incidence of pancreatic carcinomas was compared in groups of male and female mice fed one of three diets chosen because of their effect on the development

Promotive effect of elastase on regression of aortic atherosclerosis in cholesterol-fed quails.

Only registered users can translate articles

In order to test the anti-atherosclerotic function of elastase, 44 Japanese quails, 40 d of age, were used in this study. An atherogenic diet contained 15% corn oil and 2% cholesterol. Elaszym was orally administered at a dose of 6,000 EL units per kg body weight 3 times a week for 3 months. After 3

From neurogenic pulmonary edema to fat embolism syndrome: a brief review of experimental and clinical investigations of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most devastating form of acute lung injury (ALI) or pulmonary edema (PE). We presented the experimental studies and clinical investigations of two serious forms of ALI. Drastic and severe PE could be induced by intracranial hypertension or cerebral

Accumulation of a maize proteinase inhibitor in response to wounding and insect feeding, and characterization of its activity toward digestive proteinases of Spodoptera littoralis larvae.

Only registered users can translate articles

The mpi gene encodes a maize proteinase inhibitor (MPI) protein whose mRNA accumulates in response to mechanical wounding. In this study, mpi gene expression in response to different types of damage was investigated. In mechanically damaged leaves of maize (Zea mays L.), mpi mRNA accumulation was

Alteration of strain background and a high omega-6 fat diet induces earlier onset of pancreatic neoplasia in EL-Kras transgenic mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Diets containing omega-6 (ω-6) fat have been associated with increased tumor development in carcinogen-induced pancreatic cancer models. However, the effects of ω-6 fatty acids and background strain on the development of genetically-induced pancreatic neoplasia is unknown. We assessed the effects of

Effects of phorbol myristate acetate and sivelestat on the lung injury caused by fat embolism in isolated lungs.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Fat embolism syndrome (FES) associated with acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical condition following long bone fracture. We have reported 14 victims due to ALI with FES. Our laboratory has developed an animal model that produced fat emboli (FE). The major purpose of this study was to

Characterization of a maize root proteinase.

Only registered users can translate articles

The major proteinase in maize (Zea mays) roots behaves as a serine endopeptidase. A possible physiological role of this enzyme could be in the turnover of nitrate reductase (NR) and, as such, it could be of great importance in regulating the assimilation of nitrate. The objective of this research

Purification and Characterization of the Bifunctional Enzyme Lysine-Ketoglutarate Reductase-Saccharopine Dehydrogenase from Maize.

Only registered users can translate articles

The first enzyme of the lysine degradation pathway in maize (Zea mays L.), lysine-ketoglutarate reductase, condenses lysine and [alpha]-ketoglutarate into saccharopine using NADPH as a cofactor, whereas the second, saccharopine dehydrogenase, converts saccharopine to

N-acetylcysteine attenuates acute lung injury induced by fat embolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Fat embolism syndrome is a clinical issue in subjects with long-bone fracture. It may lead to acute lung injury. The mechanisms and therapeutic regimen remain unclear. The present study was designed to investigate the pathologic and biochemical changes after fat embolization in isolated

Rat intestinal alpha1-antitrypsin secretion is regulated by triacylglycerol feeding.

Only registered users can translate articles

alpha1-Antitrypsin (AAT) is secreted by the enterocyte, but its regulation of expression, intramucosal distribution, and functional status are unclear. After corn oil gavage (plus Pluronic L-81 to block chylomicron release), rat intestine was examined for mRNA encoding AAT, immunoreactivity by light
