amyloidosis/옥수수

Amyloid-β peptides of 40 and 42 amino acid lengths, which are synthesized in neurons and degraded in the brain and liver, have the potential to aggregate and form neuritic plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The kinetics of human Aβ40 (hAβ40) was examined in the rat pursuant to intravenous (IV) and

Several recent reports have shown that diets in which the only source of fat was fish oil can modify the course of diseases with an inflammatory or immune component. In these experiments we examined the effect of a fish oil diet on experimental amyloidosis in mice. In most azocasein-treated mice,

Arthritis-susceptible B10.RIII mice, maintained on either fish oil (FO) or corn oil (CO) diets (5% by weight), and amyloid-susceptible CBA/J mice fed chow diets were given 20 micrograms purified LPS by i.p. injection. Both strains of mice responded to LPS with a 20- to 30-fold increase in plasma

Amyloid P component (AP) bears close homology with C-reactive protein and behaves as an acute phase reactant in the plasma of mice but not in man. Our aim was to determine whether AP is influenced by diet, gender, and arthritis severity in a murine model of arthritis. B10.RIII mice were segregated

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common brain disorder worldwide. Aberrant tau hyperphosphorylation and accumulation play critical roles in the formation of neurofibrillary tangles highly associated with neuronal dysfunction and cognitive impairment in AD pathogenesis. Glycogen synthase

Neuroinflammation essentially involves an activation of glial cells as the cause/effect of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plasmalogens (Pls) are glycerophospholipids constituting cellular membranes and play significant roles in membrane fluidity and cellular processes

BACKGROUND Most knowledge about adverse health effects of trans fats was mainly derived from studies done in Western populations of European or American origins; few data are available in the understudied region of the Middle East. OBJECTIVE We assessed the association between consumption of

For assessment of the effect of dietary protein on spontaneous diseases and on the carcinogenicity of N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine [(BOP) CAS: 60599-38-4], Syrian golden hamsters were fed either low protein (LP; 9% casein), medium protein (MP; 18% casein), or high protein (HP; 36% casein) in a

In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of three kinds of vegetable oils with different fatty acid compositions against cognitive impairment in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model. After intracerebroventricular injection of amyloid beta25-35 (Aβ25-35) into the brain of

Weaning male C57BL/6N mice received repeated subcutaneous injections of benzene in corn oil for 54 weeks. These mice and surviving controls were killed 104 weeks after the first injection. There was no evidence of carcinogenic activity in benzene-injected mice. A high incidence of amyloidosis

The influence of interactions between dietary fat and protein on spontaneous diseases was investigated in Syrian golden hamsters fed two levels of corn oil [4.5 or 18 g/385 kilocalories (kcal)] with each of two levels of casein (9 or 36 g/385 kcal). The four diets were fed to separate groups in two

In various animal and human studies, early administration of 17β-estradiol, a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic agent, significantly decreases the severity of injury in the brain associated with cell death. Estrone, the predominant estrogen in postmenopausal women, has been

Introduction International studies show an increased incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). It is assumed that the major components of MS - obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension - are linked to renal damage through the systemic

BACKGROUND Higher docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake is inversely correlated with relative risk of Alzheimer's disease. The potential benefits of DHA supplementation in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have not been fully examined. OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to assess the effect of a
