Chemical composition, antioxidant and alpha-Glucosidase-Inhibiting activities of the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of Vaccinium myrtillus Leaves [PDF]
Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) leaf is traditionally used in southeastern Europe for the treatment of diabetes. In the present study, the ability of bilberry leaf extracts to inhibit carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes and restore glutathione concentration ...

New Perfluorocarbon System for Multilayer Growth of Anchorage-Dependent Mammalian Cells
A novel tissue culture system has been developed that supports the multilayer growth of Hep G2 cells. The system consists of growing cells on collagen-coated perfluorocarbon substrata in the wells of a multiwell plate designed so that, even at very high ...

Hepatitis B virus induces cell proliferation via HBx-induced microRNA-21 in hepatocellular carcinoma by targeting programmed cell death protein4 (PDCD4) and phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN). [PDF]
Hepatitis B viral infection-induced hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the major problems in the developing countries. One of the HBV proteins, HBx, modulates the host cell machinery via several mechanisms. In this study we hypothesized that HBV enhances

Duality Cascade and Oblique Phases in Non-Commutative Open String Theory [PDF]
We investigate the complete phase diagram of the decoupled world-sheet theory of (P,Q) strings. These theories include 1+1 dimensional super Yang-Mills theory and non-commutative open string theory.

Identification of lipid derivatives in Hep G2 cells.
Metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids results in biosynthesis of mediators with different physiological effects. These metabolites include prostaglandins, prostacyclins, isoprostanes and others that are important signalling molecules and regulate a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes including inflammation.

Parameters of cholesterol metabolism in the human hepatoma cell line, Hep-G2.
The human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2 has been shown to express the major enzymes of intra- and extracellular cholesterol metabolism. These include lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase, 3-hydroxy-3 ...

Chemistry and cytotoxic activity of essential oil from the stem bark of Calophyllum soulattri [PDF]
GCMS analysis of the essential oil from the stem bark of Calophyllum soulattri detected twenty components. Allo-aromadendrene was present as the most abundant component. Two other major constituents are α-gurjunene and β-eudesmene.

Stevia: limiting cholesterol synthesis in Hep-G2 cells
As of today, no literature has been reported on the efficacy of stevia on lipid regulations conducted in vitro. Thus, the current study was focusing on the potential of Stevia rebaudiana bertoni as an anti-hypercholesterolemia substitute in limiting the de novo cholesterol synthesis in Hep-G2 cell line.

Oxygen-dependent expression of the erythropoietin gene in rat hepatocytes in vitro [PDF]
Since in juvenile rats the liver is the predominant site of erythropoietin (EPO) gene expression, we have used primary cultures of juvenile rat hepatocytes to establish and in vitro system for investigation of oxygen-dependent EPO formation.
