METHODS
8 adult dogs were evaluated for treatment of lethargy and vomiting after ingestion of xylitol, a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener in various products.
RESULTS
In addition to vomiting and lethargy, 5 of the dogs had widespread petechial, ecchymotic, or gastrointestinal tract hemorrhages.
Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the suspected periodontopathic bacteria. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of P. gingivalis is a key factor in the development of periodontitis. Inflammatory cytokines play important roles in the gingival tissue destruction that is a characteristic of periodontitis.
BACKGROUND
Glycerol is known to possess anti-irritant and hydrating properties and previous studies suggested that xylitol may also have similar effects.
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to study whether different concentrations of these polyols restore skin barrier function and soothe inflammation in sodium
BACKGROUND
Xylitol is a well-known anticaries agent and has been used for the prevention and treatment of dental caries. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of xylitol are evaluated for possible use in the prevention and treatment of periodontal infections.
METHODS
Cytokine expression was
Muscle necrosis induced by various phenylenediamine derivatives has been correlated with their autoxidation rate. However, a more detailed investigation of the cytotoxic mechanism using a model system of isolated hepatocytes and 2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenylenediamine (DD) shows little oxygen activation
BACKGROUND
Whilst undergoing differentiation, Streptomyces produce a large quantity of hydrolytic enzymes and secondary metabolites, and it is this very ability that has focussed increasing interest on the use of these bacteria as hosts for the production of various heterologous proteins. However,
To elucidate the mechanism of nephrotoxicity caused by anti-neoplastic platinum complex, nedaplatin (NDP), treatment with a particular focus on the renal papillary toxicity, we analysed the gene expression profiles of two renal regions, the cortex (RC) and the papilla (RP) in rat kidneys. Male
