BACKGROUND Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is associated with high mortality; few patients survive without liver transplantation. It is important to have a sensitive, specific early predictor of outcome to distinguish potential survivors (S) from nonsurvivors (NS). OBJECTIVE Because we had

OBJECTIVE To evaluate liver function by the assessment of the capacity of glycine combining para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) to form hippuric acid in rabbits with acute liver injury. METHODS Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: experiment group (n=20) received D-galactosamine to be

OBJECTIVE H2O2 causes DNA damage, which activates poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP), a nuclear enzyme that uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as a substrate. When DNA strand breaks are extensive, consumption of NAD by PARP can cause adenosine triphosphate depletion. The

The 1:1 cocrystal of the antifungal agent Ketoconazole with p-aminobenzoic acid was successfully crystallized and systematically characterized from a physical and pharmacological point of view. Crystal structure determination confirmed the cocrystal identity, giving full insight in its crystal

Shedding of proteins localized at the cell surface is an important regulatory step in the function of many of these proteins. Human meprin (N-benzoyl-l-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid hydrolase, PPH, EC 3.4.24.18) a zinc-metalloendopeptidase of the astacin family is an oligomeric protein complex of

[structure: see text] o-Nitrotoluene is used to synthesize agricultural and rubber chemicals, azo and sulfur dyes, and dyes for cotton, wool, silk, leather, and paper. o-Nitrotoluene was nominated for study by NIOSH and the NTP based on its considerable human exposure as well as the absence of

OBJECTIVE Inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS) activity reduce the infarct size caused by regional myocardial ischaemia and reperfusion in the rabbit and rat in vivo. The mechanism of action of these inhibitors is unclear. Here we investigate the effects of the PARS inhibitor

We investigated the effect of 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), an inhibitor of the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), against early ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury in heart transplantation. In our experimental model, rat heart subjected to heterotopic transplantation, low temperature global

The effect of the Poly (adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose) synthetase (PARS) inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide on (i) infarct size caused by regional myocardial ischaemia (60 min) and reperfusion (3 h) in the anaesthetised pig, and (ii) on the cell injury/necrosis of human cardiomyoblasts caused by hydrogen

Eleven adult Basenji dogs with immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) were studied. Two items of history related to the digestive tract were characteristic: (i) chronic intractable diarrhea in most dogs, and (ii) progressive emaciation. Anorexia was intermittent in only a few dogs. In

BACKGROUND The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. ROS produce DNA strand breaks that lead to the activation of the DNA-repair enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS). Excessive PARS activation results in the

The aim of this study was to determine, using murine RAW 264.7 macrophages, the immunomodulatory effect of extracellular β-glucan isolated from Pleurotus eryngii (PEBG) and its sulfated derivative (PEBG-S) on signaling molecules implicated in host innate immunity. β-Glucan was extracted and purified
