Maternal zinc intakes and homeostatic adjustments during pregnancy and lactation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Zinc plays critical roles during embryogenesis, fetal growth, and milk secretion, which increase the zinc need for pregnancy and lactation. Increased needs can be met by increasing the dietary zinc intake, along with making homeostatic adjustments in ...

Retinol status and expression of retinol-related proteins in methionine-choline deficient rats.

open access: yesJournal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2014
Retinol and its derivative, retinoic acid, have pleiotropic functions including vision, immunity, hematopoiesis, reproduction, cell differentiation/growth, and development.

An engineered epididymal cell line provides a sustainable source of functional extracellular vesicles for in vitro sperm preservation: A multi‐omics and functional study

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the function of epididymal extracellular vesicles (EVs) in overcoming sperm post‐testicular modification deficiencies. Although EVs derived from the epididymis play a crucial role in intercellular communication and molecular exchange, there is limited research addressing how EVs released by in vitro cultured epididymal ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

β-Lactoglobulin-linoleate complexes: In vitro digestion and the role of protein in fatty acids uptake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
peer-reviewedThe dairy protein β-lactoglobulin (BLG) is known to bind fatty acids such as the salt of the essential longchain fatty acid linoleic acid (cis,cis-9,12-octadecadienoic acid, n-6, 18:2).

The Binding Stoichiometry of Human Plasma Retinol-binding Protein to Prealbumin

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1974
Abstract The stoichiometry of binding between all-trans-retinol-retinol-binding protein (RBP) and prealbumin was investigated by means of gel filtration chromatography, electrophoresis, absorption, and circular dichroism. Using protein concentrations of up to 20 mg per ml, it was found that under a variety of experimental conditions 1 prealbumin ...

The new platinum-based anticancer agent LA-12 induces retinol binding protein 4 in vivo

open access: yesProteome Science, 2011
BackgroundThe initial pharmacokinetic study of a new anticancer agent (OC-6-43)-bis(acetato)(1-adamantylamine)amminedichloroplatinum (IV) (LA-12) was complemented by proteomic screening of rat plasma.

Review Article: Renal Safety Profiles of Tenofovir Alafenamide, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, and Entecavir for the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B Infection—General and Special Populations

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Current first‐line NUCs show comparable renal safety profiles in CHB patients with no or mild kidney dysfunction, with growing evidence that favours TAF. Future prospective studies are needed to validate these findings, and more research should focus on CHB patients with diabetes mellitus who are at risk of CKD.

Analysis of the interaction of calcitriol with the disulfide isomerase ERp57 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, can regulate the gene expression through the binding to the nuclear receptor VDR, but it can also display nongenomic actions, acting through a membrane- associated receptor, which has been discovered as the ...
