Hepatoprotective effect of pentoxifylline against D-galactosamine-induced hepatotoxicity in rats
The present study was conducted to investigate effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on acute liver injury caused by galactosamine (D-Gal) in rats and the underlying mechanism involved in this setting.

MAPK-activated protein kinase 2-deficiency causes hyperacute tumor necrosis factor-induced inflammatory shock [PDF]
Background: MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2) plays a pivotal role in the cell response to (inflammatory) stress. Among others, MK2 is known to be involved in the regulation of cytokine mRNA metabolism and regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics ...

Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs
Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

Enzymic phosphorylation of galactosamine and galactose [PDF]
Abstract The transfer of phosphate from adenosine triphosphate to galactosamine was found to be catalyzed by a liver enzyme. On the basis of the parallel distribution and from crossed inhibition experiments, it is suggested that the enzyme may be galactokinase. The optimum conditions for activity and a method for partial purification are described.

The Model of D-Galactosamine-Induced Injury of Rat Hepatocytes in Primary Culture
D-galactosamine (GalN) is a highly selective hepatotoxin that causes liver damage similar to human viral hepatitis via depletion of uridine nucleotides, which subsequently diminishes synthesis of RNA and proteins. Model of galactosamine hepatotoxicity is
