Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Different Doses of Irradiation on Oxidant and Antioxidant Systems in the Brain of Guinea PigsYildiz Guney, Ayse Bilgihan, Ayse Hicsonmez et al.The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of oxidative stress in the damaged brain tissue, irradiated with two different dose levels, a single dose of 8 and 15 Gy. In addition, the histological findings caused by ionizing radiation in the early period was investigated. The levels of MDA, GSH, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and selenium were estimated in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,540 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Latrophilin-2 is Expressed in the Cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast of Placenta and in Endothelial CellsGunda Herberth, Anke Stein, Jens Glienke et al.Latrophilin-2 is a member of the family of adhesion-GPCRs that is characterised by a long N-terminus which contains motifs identified in proteins involved in cell adhesion. We were interested in determining the expression pattern of human latrophilin-2 and to perform a biochemical characterisation of this protein. The expression pattern of latrophilin-2 was analysed in human organs, tissues and cell lines. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 8,053 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPDX-1 and MafA: Key Transcription Factors in PancreasHideaki Kaneto, Takeshi Miyatsuka, Yoshihisa Nakatani, Taka-aki MatsuokaPancreatic and duodenal homeobox factor-1 (PDX-1) plays a crucial role in pancreas development, β-cell differentiation and in maintaining normal β-cell function by regulating several β-cell-related genes including insulin. PDX-1 has potency to induce insulin-producing cells in non β-cells in various tissues such as pancreas and liver and PDX-1-VP16 fusion protein more efficiently induces insulin-producing cells, especially in the presence of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,389 accessesView PDF Cite
