1. Molecular genetic studies of oxidative stress related genes
Abstract : This work has focused on the basal characterisation of transcriptional regulation, including genetic variants, in oxidative stress related genes and the possible impact of such variation in cardiovascular disease. The genes under study were catalase and MGST1/PGES where the two former protect from hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides respectively and the latter is important in e. READ MORE

2. Expression of prostaglandin E synthase-1 in periodontitis : in vivo and in vitro studies
Abstract : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth, including gingival tissues and alveolar bone. In advanced cases of periodontitis the ultimate clinical outcome is tooth loss. READ MORE

3. Characterization of human glutathione-dependent microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1
Abstract : Prostaglandins (PGs) are lipid mediators, which act as local hormones. PGs are formed in most calls and are synthesized de novo from membrane-released arachidonic acid (AA) upon cell activation. READ MORE

4. Studies of prostaglandin E2 formationin human monocytes
Abstract : Prostaglandin (PG) E2 is an eicosanoid derived from the polyunsaturated twenty carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA). PGE2 has physiological as well as pathophysiological functions and is known to be a key mediator of inflammatory responses. READ MORE

5. Traffic-related pollutants in urban snow : Concentrations, size fractionation, and release with snowmelt
Abstract : In urban areas with seasonal snow, traffic-related pollutants such as solid particles, metals, chloride, organic pollutants, and microplastics (MPs) can be temporarily stored in snowbanks along roads and streets. When the snow melts, it releases the accumulated pollutants and the resulting snowmelt with diverse pollutants may partly infiltrate into the ground, or enter storm sewers and eventually be discharged into, and impact on, the receiving waters.
