Galanin and Leu-enkephalin in the rat : with special reference to adjuvant arthritis
(2004-05-20)
In these studies, the tissue and cellular distribution of Galanin and
Leu-enkephalin were demonstrated in normal bone and joints. Furthermore,
tissue levels of Galanin and Leuenkephalin were also studied in the
ankles ...
Histochemical, biochemical and electrophysiological studies on dorsal root ganglion cultures : focusing on galanin, neuropeptide Y and glutamate
(2001-11-15)
Galanin (Gal) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are two peptides, which are
strongly up- regulated in a population of dorsal root ganglion (DRG)
neurons after peripheral nerve injury (axotomy). Both peptides may be
involved in ...
Depression, coronary artery disease and change of lifestyle
(2001-11-29)
Depression has been identified as a risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) and has been associated with functional impairment and disability, poor outcome of lifestyle changes, incomplete and ...
Parasite signalling and host responses in experimental and human African trypanosomiasis
(2002-08-08)
African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness is a disease of tropical Africa caused by the unicellular-flagellated protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei (T b.), which is transmitted by its insect vector, the tsetse fly. ...
Acquisition and function of NK cell-associated molecules on T cells
(2003-03-21)
1.1. These NKT cells are restricted to the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d and express an invariant T cell receptor, Jalpha281-Valpha 14. My initial finding was that IL-2-activated spleen cell cultures derived from mice deficient in classical NKT...
Pharmacogenetics of human cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) enzymes
(2003-10-24)
The cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) subfamily encompasses the most important CYP enzymes with respect to drug metabolism, in particular CYP3A4. responsible for the metabolism of a majority of drugs being metabolized in order ...
Influence of probiotics and other external factors on intestinal biochemical microflora-associated characteristics : studies in vitro and in vivo in gnotobiotic mice and in pigs
(2002-08-09)
The benefit of harboring a balanced intestinal microflora is well recognized. Therefore, in order to 'maintain or improve the intestinal flora, the use of microbial species as feed supplements, i.e. probiotics, has rapidly ...
Tuberculosis and HIV interaction in Ethiopian children : aspects on epidemiology, diagnosis and clinical management
(2002-08-30)
the controls (AOR 12.7; 95% Cl 2.9,55).
The second study explores possible background features associated with
dual infection. These were young age, high educational level of mothers,
having lost one or both parents and being BCG vaccinated. The findings...
Expression of stimulatory and inhibitory molecules in interactions between natural killer cells neurons
(2003-05-02)
Natural killer (NK) cells are important effector cells of the innate and the early induced immune defense. In the nervous system they appear early during inflammation and have been ascribed a role in clearance of certain ...
Imaging studies of cell physiology with particular reference to Na,K-ATPase function
(2003-02-28)
The membrane protein Na,K-ATPase is well known for its critical function of transporting sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell, thereby creating a fundamental electrochemical gradient upon which several other ...
