Endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress drive endothelial dysfunction induced by high selenium
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
Selenium is an essential trace element important for human health. A balanced intake is, however, crucial to maximize the health benefits of selenium. At physiological concentrations, selenium mediates antioxidant, ...
Oral PTCTS (Particulated Transialidase) Removes Serum Microparticles and Decreases Inflammation in Atherosclerotic Plaques of Rabbits
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Background: Previous studies showed that atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability was related with microparticles (MPs)-vesicles larger than 100 nm, which released MMP9 collagenase. In our pre- vious study, intramuscular ...
Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 induction prevents Endoplasmic Reticulum stress-mediated endothelial cell death and impaired angiogenic capacity
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Most of diabetic cardiovascular complications are attributed to endothelial dysfunction and impaired angiogenesis. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and oxidative stresses were shown to play a pivotal role in the development of ...
There Is Selective Increase in Pro-thrombotic Circulating Extracellular Vesicles in Acute Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack: A Study of Patients From the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2019 , Article)
Stroke attacks were found to be present at a younger age in patients from Southeast Asia (SE) and the Middle East (ME) resident in the state of Qatar. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are small membrane vesicles with ...
Paradoxical Effect of Nonalcoholic Red Wine Polyphenol Extract, Provinols™, in the Regulation of Cyclooxygenases in Vessels from Zucker Fatty Rats (fa/fa)
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of this work was to study the vascular effects of dietary supplementation of a nonalcoholic red wine polyphenol extract, Provinols, in Zucker fatty (ZF) obese rats. ZF or lean rats received diet supplemented or not ...
Metformin Induces Different Responses in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Caki Cell Lines.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and lethal form of urological cancer diagnosed globally. Mutations of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor-suppressor gene and the resultant overexpression of hypoxia-inducible ...
Selenium and Health: An Update on the Situation in the Middle East and North Africa.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Selenium (Se) is an important trace element that should be present in the diet of all age groups to provide an adequate intake. Se is incorporated in 25 known selenoproteins, which mediate the biological effects of Se ...
Microparticles as Potential Mediators of High Glucose-Induced Renal Cell Injury.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Activation of signaling pathways such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), ...
Molecular Mechanisms of Adiponectin-Induced Attenuation of Mechanical Stretch-Mediated Vascular Remodeling
(
hindawi
, 2020 , Article)
Hypertension induces vascular hypertrophy, which changes blood vessels structurally and functionally, leading to reduced tissue perfusion and further hypertension. It is also associated with dysregulated levels of the ...
Temporal cross talk between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria regulates oxidative stress and mediates microparticle-induced endothelial dysfunction
(
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Aims: Circulating microparticles (MPs) from metabolic syndrome patients
and those generated from apoptotic T-cells induce endothelial
dysfunction; however, the molecular and cellular mechanism(s) underlying
in the effects ...
