Novel thiosemicarbazides induced apoptosis in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells via JNK signaling
( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)In this study, novel thiosemicarbazides and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer effects on human MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Among the synthesized derivatives studied, compound ... -
Nox2 activity is required in obesity-mediated alteration of bone remodeling
( Hindawi Limited , 2018 , Article)Despite increasing evidence suggesting a role for NADPH oxidases (Nox) in bone pathophysiology, whether Nox enzymes contribute to obesity-mediated bone remodeling remains to be clearly elucidated. Nox2 is one of the ... -
Nrf-2-dependent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects underlie the protective effect of esculeoside A against retinal damage in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Esculeoside A (ESA) is a tomato-derived glycoside with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The protective effect of ESA against diabetic retinopathy is not well-investigated and was the core objective of this ... -
