The frequent blood transfusion makes them more vulnerable to infections to vital organs of the body. In the present investigation we have studied the protective actions of wheatgrass juice and capsule in patients with thalassemia major. It was prospective, open labeled, non-randomised, parallel ...
As core units of organ tissues, cells of various types play their harmonious rhythms to maintain the homeostasis of the human body. It is essential to identify the characteristics of cells in human organs and their regulatory networks for understanding the biological mechanisms related to health and...
In addition, four eutha- nized moribund fingerlings were dissected to collect tis- sues (major organs such as liver, kidney, spleen, intestine and gill etc.) that were fixed in 10% phosphate-buffered formalin. Formalin fixed tissues were sent to Singapore Food Agency Veterinary Histology ...
During the operation, an examination of intraab- dominal organs was carried out in search for distant metastases. All resected specimens were subjected to patho-histological examination and in all cases complete local cancer resection (R0 resection) was confirmed. Glycan release and labeling. ...
IL-7 is mainly found in generative lymphoid organs as well as some nonlymphoid tissues [5] and is produced in large part by accessory cells [6], [7]. The heterodimeric IL-7 receptor (IL-7R), composed of both IL-7Rα and γc chains, is expressed by T-cells [8]. IL-7 is ...
An increased population of CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor-associated microenvironment plays an important role in cancer immune evasion. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here we observed an increased secretion
However, it is most convenient and “cost-efficient” for the body to produce energy from carbohydrates. Unlike fat and protein, carbohydrates can be easily metabolize into glucose along the digestive tract and released into the bloodstream as immediate energy for other organs. If there is an ...
The MHC class I-deficient grafts were rejected and only CD8+ T cells were detectable in the recipient lymphoid organs and in the skin grafts. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that CD8+ T cells were found in close proximity to vascular endothelial cells and to recipient infiltrating macrophages, ...
While refeeding on the ePUFA diet prevented the increases in fat mass and in plasma insulin and glucose, the results of insulin clamps revealed that insulin-stimulated glucose utilization was not increased in skeletal muscles and only marginally higher in adipose tissues and at the whole-body ...
Estrogen treatment prevents this increased fracture risk, but is associated with side effects, such as increased risk of cancer in reproductive organs and thromboembolism2,3. Thus, increased knowledge regarding signaling pathways underlying the effects of estrogen in various tissues would aid in the ...
