BACKGROUND
Phosphoglucomutase (PGM), a key enzyme in cellular glucose utilization and energy homeostasis, has been reported to show a relationship with oxidative stress. However, the clinical importance of PGM activity has not been investigated in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The aim
BACKGROUND
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables that exerts anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and radio-sensitizing activities. Nonetheless, the mechanism responsible for SFN-induced cell death is not fully understood. In the present study, anti-cancer
The distribution of the genetic markers of leukocytes (HLA I and II), serum proteins (allotypes Gm, transferrin, haptoglobin, group-specific component), red cell enzymes (acid phosphatase--AP, phosphoglucomutase--PGM, esterase D, adenosine deaminase) was found to be universal in patients suffering
Brucellosis is one of the most widespread zoonosis in the world affecting many domestic and wild animals including bovines, goats, pigs and dogs. Each species of the Brucella genus has a particular tropism toward different mammals being the most relevant for human health Brucella abortus, Brucella
The activity of enzymes regulating the processes providing functional activity of leukocytes was studied in the exudate leukocytes of healthy rabbits and animals with alloxan diabetes. Rabbits with diabetes displayed a reduction of hexokinase, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
Japanese apricot, Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc., biosynthesizes the l-phenylalanine-derived cyanogenic glucosides prunasin and amygdalin. Prunasin has biological properties such as anti-inflammation, but plant extraction and chemical synthesis are impractical. In this study, we identified and
We have recently proposed revival of the name Entamoeba nuttalli Castellani, 1908 for a virulent amoeba (P19-061405 strain) isolated from a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) and located phylogenetically between E. histolytica and E. dispar. In this study, E. nuttalli was isolated from feces of captive
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) leads to increased predisposition to metabolic syndrome in adult life but the mechanisms remain obscure. Considering a significant number of functional similarities, IUGR piglets appear to be a good model to study the development of this syndrome in humans. The
BACKGROUND
Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. The immune system provides a defence mechanism in response to foreign pathogens, and macrophages play important roles in this response. Activation of macrophages has
Hericium erinaceus, also known as lion's mane mushroom, is a widely distributed edible and medicinal fungus in Asian countries. H. erinaceus harbors diverse bioactive metabolites with anticancer, immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antidiabetic and
