Nitric Oxide Donors as Neuroprotective Agents after an Ischemic Stroke‐Related Inflammatory Reaction

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Cerebral ischemia initiates a cascade of detrimental events including glutamate‐associated excitotoxicity, intracellular calcium accumulation, formation of Reactive oxygen species (ROS), membrane lipid degradation, and DNA damage, which lead to the disruption of cellular homeostasis and structural damage of ischemic brain tissue. Cerebral ischemia also

Alliin, a Garlic (Allium sativum) Compound, Prevents LPS‐Induced Inflammation in 3T3‐L1 Adipocytes

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been used to alleviate a variety of health problems due to its high content of organosulfur compounds and antioxidant activity. The main active component is alliin (S‐allyl cysteine sulfoxide), a potent antioxidant with cardioprotective and neuroprotective actions. In addition, it helps to decrease serum levels of glucose,

Modulation of PPAR‐γ by Nutraceutics as Complementary Treatment for Obesity‐Related Disorders and Inflammatory Diseases

PPAR Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
A direct correlation between adequate nutrition and health is a universally accepted truth. The Western lifestyle, with a high intake of simple sugars, saturated fat, and physical inactivity, promotes pathologic conditions. The main adverse consequences range from cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome to several cancers ...

Stem Cells as In Vitro Model of Parkinson′s Disease

Stem Cells International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Progress in understanding neurodegenerative cell biology in Parkinson′s disease (PD) has been hampered by a lack of predictive and relevant cellular models. In addition, the lack of an adequate in vitro human neuron cell‐based model has been an obstacle for the uncover of new drugs for treating PD. The ability to generate induced pluripotent stem cells

The Cellular Prion Protein Prevents Copper‐Induced Inhibition of P2X4 Receptors

International Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Although the physiological function of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) remains unknown, several evidences support the notion of its role in copper homeostasis. PrPC binds Cu2+ through a domain composed by four to five repeats of eight amino acids. Previously, we have shown that the perfusion of this domain prevents and reverses the inhibition by Cu2+

Efecto de diferentes explantes irradiados en la regeneración in vitro de frijol común (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar “ICA Pijao”

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2019
El mejoramiento genético convencional en frijol común resulta difícil debido a que presenta una base genética estrecha y muy estable. En este sentido, la combinación de la mutagénesis y el cultivo de tejidos, es una alternativa para inducir variabilidad ...
