Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism attenuates vascular apoptosis and injury via rescuing protein kinase B activation
(American Heart Association, 2008)
Emerging evidence indicates that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockade reduces the risk of cardiovascular events beyond those predicted by its blood pressure-lowering actions; however, the underlying mechanisms remain ...
Isolation and characterization of a baculovirus associated with the insect parasitoid wasp, Cotesia marginiventris, or its host, Trichoplusia ni
(University of Wisconsin, 2008)
A multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (MNPV) was isolated from Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae that had been stung by the parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). The wild ...
Oxidative stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to angiotensin II-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in transgenic ren2 rats
(American Society for Investigative Pathology, 2009)
Emerging evidence indicates that impaired mitochondrial fatty acid [beta]-oxidation plays a key role in liver steatosis. We have recently demonstrated that increased angiotensin (ANG) II causes progressive hepatic steatosis ...
Green nanotechnology from cumin phytochemicals : generation of biocompatible gold nanoparticles
(NIH Public Access, 2009)
The powerful antioxidant characteristics of various phytochernicals within cumin prompted us to test their efficacy in reducing sodium tetrachloroaurate to corresponding gold nanoparticles. We, herein, report an unprecedented ...
Green nanotechnology from tea : phytochemicals in tea as building blocks for production of biocompatible gold nanoparticles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2009)
Phytochemicals occluded in tea have been extensively used as dietary supplements and as natural pharmaceuticals in the treatment of various diseases including human cancer. Results on the reduction capabilities of ...
Regulation of floral organ abscission in Arabidopsis thaliana
(The National Academy of Sciences of the USA, 2008)
Abscission is a developmental program that results in the active shedding of infected or nonfunctional organs from a plant body. Here, we establish a signaling pathway that controls abscission in Arabidopsis thaliana from ...
