This chapter reviews studies concerning cellular membranes in the pathogenesis of cerebral edema. The main topics discussed are membrane lipids and the observation that the concentration of endogenous free fatty acids increases rapidly and reversibly in the brain after a single electroconvulsive
The effects of temperature on arachidonic acid-induced cellular edema in the first cortical brain slices of rats were studied. Incubation of the cortical slice in arachidonic acid at 37 degrees C induced cellular swelling, and increased intracellular Na+ and lactic acid contents concomitant with
BACKGROUND
Ficus glumosa Del (Moraceae), a plant used in traditional medicine in Cameroon, Senegal, and East Africa for the treatment of edema, hemorrhoid, cardiovascular diseases especially hypertension.
OBJECTIVE
The present study evaluated the potential toxicity of the aqueous extract of the
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) complicated with capillary leak syndrome (CLS) . Methods: The clinical and laboratory data of 87 sHLH patients, who were treated in our hospital between January 2015 and
Pharmaceuticals are emerging contaminants as their worldwide consumption increases. Fibrates such as gemfibrozil (GEM) are used in human medicine to reduce blood concentrations of cholesterol and triacylglycerol and also are some of the most frequently reported pharmaceuticals in waste waters and
The effects of magnesium deficiency on tissue levels of total lipids and fatty acids were evaluated. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a magnesium-deficient diet for 14 wk with controls being pair-fed to the deficient rats. Compared to the controls, serum and 24-h urinary magnesium levels were markedly
The objectives were to determine the effects of a rumen-protected blend of B vitamins and choline (RPBC) on the incidence of health disorders, milk yield, and reproduction in early lactation and the effects on gene expression and liver fat infiltration. A randomized controlled trial in 3 commercial
Chronic hypoxia, viral infections/bacterial toxins, inflammation states, biochemical disorders, and genetic abnormalities are the most likely trigger of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Autopsy studies have shown increased pulmonary density of macrophages and markedly more eosinophils in the
Long-chain fatty acids are an important source of energy in vascular endothelium. Their oxidation is stimulated by carnitine and inhibited by blockage of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Excess fatty acid can be reversibly stored as triacylglycerol in the cells. Cultured vascular endothelial
High-speed and high-pressure homogenized O/W emulsions using medium chain triacylglycerols (MCT) as oil and Tween 20 as emulsifier, with mean droplet sizes ranging from 618.6nm to 79.5nm, have been successfully prepared. The enhanced anti-inflammation activity of curcumin encapsulated in O/W
BACKGROUND
Preeclampsia/eclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It is a cause of high morbidity for both mother and fetus, especially in developing countries. In a recent survey conducted in Gombe, Nigeria, eclampsia was found to be a major cause of maternal mortality
