Jacobus Visser et al.One of the most common complications from long-term wheelchair use or bed rest is pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers have significant morbidity and are associated with high mortality. Prolonged sitting can cause high pressures in the skin and subcutaneous tissue which can lead to local ischemia and breakdown of skin. Rapid relief of pressure prevents ulcer formation. One prevention strategy is … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2016 · 7,897 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPRODUCTION OF CROSS-REACTIVE AUTOANTIBODY BINDING TO BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN IN THE D-GALACTOSE-INDUCED AGING MOUSE MODELJi-Hun Park, Tae-Saeng ChoiThe D-galactose (D-gal)-induced animal model, generated by repeated subcutaneous D-gal injections over approximately 6 weeks, has been frequently used for diabetes and aging research. However, little research has investigated the direct correlation between D-gal and autoantibody formation despite several reports on diabetes-and aging-related autoantibodies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether repetitive injection of D-gal can induce autoantibody … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2014 · 7,039 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegulation of Retinol Binding Protein 4 Expression and its Relation to Adipogenesis in Bovine AdipocytesMabrouk Ragab EL-Sabagh, Abd Eldaim Mabrouk AttiaAdipogenesis is of great importance in beef cattle. Recent findings indicate that glucose, a substrate for fatty acid biosynthesis and retinoic acid enhance adipogenesis in bovine intramuscular adipocytes. However, other recent findings indicate that Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) interferes with glucose uptake and utilization by rodents’ adipocytes. In this study we examined the regulation of RBP4 expression and its relation … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,399 accessesView PDF Cite
