Immunoexpression of endothelial NOS in kidneys of diabetic rats and those treated with Insulin glargine
El-Rouby NM, El-Deen MG, Gawish SM, Bayoumi FA

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a condition of chronic hyperglycemia, represents one of the greatest concerns to modern global health. DM is a well-recognized cause for nephropathy and end-stage renal failure. It is accompanied by impaired antioxidant defenses including nitric oxide (NO).

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids alleviate D-galactosamine induced hepatitis by regulating cytokine production
Pujari P, Roy R

Dietary fatty acids are able to modulate the immune system through several mechanisms. Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids are shown to alleviate various inflammatory disorders. The present study aims at finding out the effect of supplementation of two lipid differing in their

Action of phytochemicals containing catechins and gallates on Lipoteichoic acid synthesis
Soe WM, Premkumar J, Lim CS, Sakharkar KR, Sakharkar MK

Novel therapeutic regimes and prophylaxis are urgently required to combat the serious threat posed by drug resistant infections caused by the gram-positive bacterium - Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, antimicrobial properties of ethyl gallate (EG), were tested in combination with

Characterisation of placental malaria in olive baboons (Papio anubis) infected with Plasmodium knowlesi H strain
Barasa M, Gicheru MM, Kagasi EA, Hastings OS

Pregnant women have increased susceptibility to malaria infection. In these women, malaria parasites are frequently found sequestered in the placental intervillous spaces, a condition referred to as placental malaria (PM). Placental malaria threatens the health of the mother and the

Enicostemma littorale a new therapeutic target for islet neogenesis
Gupta S, Dadheech N, Singh A, Soni S, Bhonde RR

Multipotent differentiation property of stem cells opens up new arena for the treatment of diabetic patients. Many chemical and biochemical compounds make stem cells to get differentiate into insulin producing cells. Present study highlighted islet neogenic property of one

Wound healing activity of Cassia occidentalis L. in albino Wistar rats
Sheeba M, Emmanuel S, Revathi K, Ignacimuthu S

The wound healing property of methanolic crude extract of Cassia occidentalis L. leaves and a pure compound Chrysophanol isolated from it was evaluated in excision, incision and dead space wound models. The parameters studied included rate of wound contraction and the

Comparison in motional properties of Staphylococcus aureus exfoliative toxins A and B as revealed by their MD simulation
Mondal UK, Sen A, Bothra AK

Exfoliative (epidermolytic) toxins (ETs) of Staphylococcus aureus can cause severe and life threatening illness in extremely premature neonates. Two serologically distinct forms of exfoliative toxin exist and have been designated as ETA and ETB. To understand the motional properties and mode

PPRESearch: Peroxisome Proliferator Activator Element Search Database
Venkatachalam G, Sakharkar MK, Kumar AP, Clement MV

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors involved in processes such as angiogenesis, cell cycle, apoptosis, and lipid metabolism thereby having a significant effect on cell fate and cell metabolism. After activation, PPARs

Biochemical characterization of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA):pyruvate transaminase during rice leaf senescence
Ansari MI, Chen SG

Senescence-associated genes (SAGs) are up-regulated during plant senescence and may have been implicated in encoding enzymes involved in metabolism of senescence tissues. The gene Osl2 (GABA:pyruvate-transaminase) which is upregulated during leaf senescence in rice (Oryza sativa) was
