Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by allergen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation, and remodeling. Nitric oxide (NO) derived from constitutive and inducible enzymes affects many aspects of…
Inflammation is an underlying feature of a variety of human diseases. An important manifestation of this pathophysiological response is microvascular dysfunction, which includes the activation of vascular endothelial cells, and circulating…
Salt-sensitive hypertension is associated with severe organ damage. Generating oxygen radicals is an integral component of salt-induced kidney damage, and activated leukocytes are important in oxygen radical biosynthesis.
Rosmarinic acid (RA) has numerous pharmacologic effects, including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. This study aimed to evaluate the preventive activity of RA in a murine model of asthma and to investigate its…
Accumulating evidence suggests that the ubiquitous anion nitrite (NO2−) is a physiological signaling molecule, with roles in intravascular endocrine nitric oxide (NO) transport, hypoxic vasodilation, signaling, and cytoprotection.
In this review, Gonzelez et al. provide an update of recent accomplishments, unifying concepts, and futures challenges to study tumor-associated immune cells, with an emphasis on metastatic carcinomas.
Lactoferrin is a nutrient classically found in mammalian milk. It binds iron and is transferred into and between cells, serum, bile and cerebrospinal fluid, ...
Auxins play an important role in plant physiology and are involved in numerous aspects of plant development, such as cell division, elongation and differen
