  2. 1. Organelle movement in melanophores: Effects of Panax ginseng, ginsenosides and quercetin

    Author : Therese Eriksson; Rolf Andersson; Samuel Svensson; Ingemar Lundström; Robert Kronstrand; Per Hammarström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : melanophores; Panax ginseng; ginsenosides; quercetin; organell anterograde transport; endothelin-3; mitogen activated protein kinase; protein kinase C; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Panax ginseng is a traditional herb that has been used for over 2000 years to promote health and longevity. Active components of ginseng include ginsenosides, polysaccharides, flavonoids, polyacetylenes, peptides, vitamins, phenols and enzymes, of which the ginsenosides are considered to be the major bioactive constituents.

    Abstract : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most common bacterial infections in humans and the majority are caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). Abundant evidence indicates that nitric oxide (NO) produced by the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) plays an important role in host defense against infection. READ MORE

  5. 3. MAPK and pro-inflammatory mediators in the walls of brain blood vessels following cerebral ischemia

    Author : Aida Maddahi; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mitogen activated protein kinase; iNOS; Matrix metalloproteinases; IL-1ß; IL-6; TNF-α; Inflammation; Subarachnoid hemorrhage; Middle cerebral artery occlusion;

    Abstract : INTRODUCTION Stroke is a serious neurological disease which may lead to death and severe disability [1, 2]. There are two major types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. READ MORE

  6. 4. Macrophage Activation and AP-1 in Atherosclerosis

    Author : Maria Stollenwerk; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; Cardiovascular system; carotid plaque; interleukin-1b; caspase-1.; very low-density lipoprotein; fatty acids; activator protein-1; inflammation; Atherosclerosis; nuclear factor-kB; macrophages; tumor necrosis factor;

    Abstract : High levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) have been identified as independent risk factors for coronary heart disease. Hypertriglyceridemia is generally associated with an increased expression of inflammatory makers and inflammation is thought to contribute to atherosclerosis and its complications. READ MORE

  7. 5. Impairment of Endothelial Thromboprotective Function by Haemodynamic and Inflammatory Stress - Implications for hypertensive disease

    Author : Erik Ulfhammer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : tissue-type plasminogen activator; endothelium; fibrinolysis; hypertension; shear stress; strain; antihypertensive agents; inflammation; TNF-alpha; NF-kappaB; MAPK;

    Abstract : The physiologically most important activator of intravascular fibrinolysis is tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). The endothelium synthesizes and stores t-PA and regulated release of the enzyme is an important local protective response to prevent thrombus extension. READ MORE
