Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIncreased Copper-Mediated Oxidation of Membrane Phosphatidylethanolamine in AutismAbha Chauhan, Ashfaq M. Sheikh, Ved ChauhanWe have previously reported that levels of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) in the erythrocyte membrane and of ceruloplasmin, a copper-transport antioxidant protein, in the serum are lower in children with autism than in control subjects. In the present study, we report that (a) copper oxidizes and reduces the levels of membrane PE and (b) copper-mediated oxidation of PE is higher in lymphoblasts … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,205 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCardiolipin in Pathology: Implications in AtherosclerosisAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Vasily Nikolaevich Sukhorukov, Anton Yuvenalievich Postnov et al.Mitochondria are cell organelles whose main role is to generate the energy needed for cell biochemical reactions via oxidative phosphorylation. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid that is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane and other energy-transducing membranes. Mitochondrial structure largely depends on cardiolipin, as it is involved in the biogenesis of mitochondrial cristae, folds in the inner mitochondrial membrane designed to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 4 · 23 Sep 2023 · 4,792 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanisms of Anti-Cancer Effects of Vernonia amygdalina Leaf ExtractUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Vernonia amygdalina (V. amygdalina) has been shown to have cancer cell inhibition and cytotoxic effects. Approach: This study discusses the multi-faceted and multi-linked mechanisms by which cancer tissue inhibition and destruction is achieved by V. amygdalina leaf extract and powder (subsequently called V. amygdalina Extract). Cancer cell inhibition by V. amygdalina is suggested to occur through inhibition of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2011 · 9,090 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of Lipoprotein Peak x Eluted from a Column with the Eluent of High-magnesium Ion Concentration in Lipoprotein Analysis Using the Cation-exchange ChromatographyYuji Hirowatari, Hiroshi Yoshida, Yutaka Ogura et al.The new lipoprotein analysis method using a cation-exchange chromatography, which contains a sulfopropyl-ligand column and two magnesium ion-containing eluents was previously reported. This method can separate serum lipoproteins on the column gel with a magnesium ion concentration gradient and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and an unspecified lipoprotein peak are eluted in order from the column. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,473 accessesView PDF Cite
