The inhibitory effect of different sulfur compounds and antioxidants at the activity level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 during neonatal hypoxia-reoxygenation is unknown. The tissue activity of MMP-2 and -9 was first determined by gelatin zymography in different tissues of 6 newborn
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether carnosine can increase retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival in ischemic mouse retina.
METHODS
Retinal ischemia was induced by constant elevation of intraocular pressure (100-110 mmHg) for 60 min in C57BL/6 J mice pretreated with carnosine (1000 mg/kg) or saline.
Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a natural dipeptide widely and abundantly distributed in excitable tissues of several animal tissues. Although its physiological role has not been completely understood yet, many beneficial actions have been attributed to carnosine, such as being an antioxidant,
The novel synthetic derivative of carnosine, (S)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carbonyl-β-alanyl-L-histidine (S-Trolox™-Carnosine, STC) increases the resistance of rats to experimental acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHH) thus protecting brain from the oxidative damage. This effect is accompanied
Background and aim: Although it is widely known that the total parenteral nutrition (TPN) used frequently in intensive care units has unwanted side effects, there is little known about how it interferes with the amino acid levels taken
This study investigated the transport of copper (Cu) in the gut of trout. Examination of the spatial distribution of Cu along the digestive tract and a physical characterization of the uptake process was carried out using an in vitro gut sac technique and (64)Cu as a tracer. Unidirectional Cu uptake
Cobalt chloride (CoCl(2)) can mimic hypoxia in inducing hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). Several cultured cells were examined for susceptibility to CoCl(2) in DMEM, MEM and RPMI 1640 medium. Here we report that HIF-1α expression of mammalian cells by CoCl(2) was largely dependent on the culture
Resistance training is associated with periods of acute intracellular hypoxia with increased H(+) production and low intramuscular pH. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible adaptive response in muscle carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) in bodybuilders. Extracts of biopsies of m.
BACKGROUND
Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a transmembrane enzyme that is present in many types of solid tumors. Expression of CA IX is driven predominantly by the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway and helps to maintain intracellular pH homeostasis under hypoxic conditions, resulting in
L-Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a naturally occurring dipeptide, which has shown broad-spectrum anticancer activity. But the anticancer mechanisms and regulators remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of carnosine on human glioma U87 and U251 cell lines under normoxia (21%
1. In in vitro experiments with accumulating mucosal preparations (AMP) and everted intestinal sacs, as well as in in vivo experiments with isolated loops of the small intestine the stimulating effect of a number of amino acids on L-tryptophan uptake was investigated. 2. Under "switched off" active
1. The accumulation of (3)H-gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) by the isolated rat retina has been measured.2. When retinae were incubated at 37 degrees C in a medium containing (3)H-GABA, tissue:medium ratios of about 25:1 were attained after a 30 min incubation.3. After incubations of 40 min at 37
The amino acid histidine is an excellent buffer and is therefore included in several organ preservation solutions used in transplantation medicine. However, when used at concentrations as in these solutions, histidine has a marked injurious potential. Therefore, we here assessed the mechanism of
