OBJECTIVE
Several studies have suggested that intravenous hydroxyethyl starch treatment may dampen acute inflammatory responses. It is well documented that limited oxygen delivery to tissues (hypoxia) is common in acute inflammation, and numerous parallels exist between acute responses to hypoxia
Degradable starch microsphers were injected in the aorta of rats above the level of the superior mesenteric artery 5 min before roentgen irradiation of the abdomen. The local hypoxia, induced by the spheres, was found to have an appreciable protective effect. The dose modification factor was
Transient hypoxia induced by intra-arterial injection of degradable starch microspheres was used for protection of exteriorized segments of the rat ileum. Microscopic evaluation of the injury to the mucosa gave a dose modification factor of 0.44 +/- 0.04, which corresponds to an oxygen enhancement
To explore the bread making characteristics of germinated wheat flour, the current study focused on the componential evolution throughout the steamed bread making process. Hypoxia-germinated wheat (HGW) dough produced the maximum γ-aminobutyric acid as a result of high glutamic acid decarboxylase
Aldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHEs) are bifunctional enzymes that commonly produce ethanol from acetyl-CoA with acetaldehyde as intermediate and play a key role in anaerobic redox balance in many fermenting bacteria. ADHEs are also present in photosynthetic unicellular eukaryotes, where their
Plants respond to hypoxia, often caused by submergence, by expressing a specific set of genes that contribute to acclimation to this unfavorable environmental condition. Genes induced by low oxygen include those encoding enzymes for carbohydrate metabolism and fermentation, pathways that are
The capabilities of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds (caryopses) to degrade starchy reserves present in the endosperm tissue were compared under anaerobic conditions. The results showed that rice, a species highly tolerant to anoxia, can readily break down starch under
The better understanding of how intestinal microbiota interacts with fish health is one of the key to sustainable aquaculture development. The present experiment aimed at correlating active microbiota associated to intestinal mucosa with Specific Growth Rate (SGR) and Hypoxia Resistance Time (HRT)
In the context of hydrogen production by the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the control of light attenuation conditions is used to set-up anoxia under illuminated and autotrophic conditions, without affecting photosynthetic capacities of cells (as with sulphur deprivation or PSII inhibitors
Because of their oxygen binding capacity, cell-free hemoglobin solutions are promising blood substitutes. However, their clinical use has so far been limited by toxic side effects on liver and kidney until ultrapurification and chemical modifications have been established in the production process
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydroxyethyl starch, (130/0.4) 6%, compared to Ringer's acetate and modified gelatin on hypoxemia, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress in an experimental model of acute lung injury (ALI). The ALI/Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Under sulfur deprivation conditions, the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii produces hydrogen in the light in a sustainable manner thanks to the contribution of two pathways, direct and indirect. In the direct pathway, photosystem II (PSII) supplies electrons to hydrogenase through the
Deep hypoxia protects biological tissue against ionizing radiation. By intra-arterial injection of degradable starch microspheres the renal circulation was temporarily blocked in unilaterally nephrectomized rats. The induced hypoxia was utilized for protection of the kidney against single doses of
We studied the role played by a shift in perfusion to hypoxic lung areas after pulmonary embolism in pst embolic hypoxemia. A tracheal divider was used to separate hypoxic (N2 ventilated) from oxygenated (100 per cent O2 ventilated) lung in anaesthetized dogs. Relative perfusion was assessed from
The ultrastructure of bone marrow of rats was studied 24 h after exchange-transfusion with solutions of starch or modified hemoglobin to a hematocrit of 10-15. Blood smears of the transfused rats had 17-20% reticulocytes as compared to 5-6% for sham operated controls. In the transfused rats marrow
