Amelioration of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in hamsters by dietary supplementation with taurine and niacin: biochemical mechanisms. [PDF]
Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis induced by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin (BL) involves an excess production of reactive oxygen species, unavailability of adequate levels of NAD and ATP to repair the injured pulmonary epithelium, and an ...

Endogenous Collagenases Regulate Osteoclast Fusion
The precise regulation of osteoclast differentiation and function is crucial for the maintenance of healthy bone. Despite several reports of collagenase expression in bone tissues, the precise isoform expression as well as the role in osteoclasts are ...

Human Platelet Collagenase [PDF]
The presence of proteolytic enzymes such as cathepsin and elastase in platelets and the important role of collagen in platelet aggregation suggested that collagenase might be present in platelets. Epinephrine, ADP, and collagen liberate collagenase from platelets in plasma as measured by the hydrolysis of [(14)C]glycine-labeled collagen fibrils.
