Glutathione (GSH) and Glutathione S-transferase (GST) plays an important role in the protection of cells against damage from free radicals and also influences cytotoxicity to some kinds of chemotherapeutic agents. GST comprises a group of abundant and widely distributed catalytic and binding

Schwannoma-derived growth factor (SDGF), an epidermal growth factor (EGF) family peptide recently discovered, has an EGF-like domain in the carboxyl terminal portion. In this study, we synthesized mSDGF(38-80) corresponding to the EGF-like domain of mouse SDGF by means of stepwise solid-phase method

Neurotoxicity mechanisms of amyloidogenic polypeptides such as transthyretin (TTR) are not well understood. Misfolded and aggregated TTRs (agTTR) lead to age-related diseases such as senile systemic amyloidosis and familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP). Among other clinical manifestations in TTR

OBJECTIVE To determine in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) characteristics of intracranial meningiomas and to assess MRS reliability in meningioma grading and discrimination from tumours of similar radiological appearance, such as lymphomas, schwannomas and

The precursor lesions of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence, histomorphological features, and immunohistochemical features of papillary adenoma and elucidate its potential relationship to RCC. We reviewed 542 consecutive nephrectomy

Erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes were analysed in 100 patients with intracranial neoplasm and in 47 controls. There was a significant decrease in RBC glutathione reductase (GRx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in most types of brain tumor cases. Patients with acoustic neurinoma showed a
