Adipose tissue dysfunction in cancer cachexia
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2018 , Article)Cancer cachexia is a complex disorder that is driven by inflammation and metabolic imbalances, resulting in extreme weight loss. Adipose tissue, a main player in cancer cachexia, is an essential metabolic and secretory ... -
Anthropometric and lifestyle characteristics of active and inactive saudi and british adolescents
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2014 , Article)To compare the anthropometric and lifestyle characteristics of active and inactive adolescents in Saudi Arabia and Britain. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted at four cities in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and ... -
Cinnamon extract inhibits angiogenesis in zebrafish and human endothelial cells by suppressing VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and PKC-mediated MAP kinase
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2013 , Article)Angiogenesis is a process of new blood vessel generation and under pathological conditions, lead to tumor development, progression, and metastasis. Many bioactive components have been studied for its antiangiogenic properties ... -
Effect of graphene loading on thermomechanical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/starch blend
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2015 , Article)Polymer nanocomposites based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/starch blend and graphene were prepared by solution mixing and casting. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer and added in the starch dispersion. The uniform dispersion ... -
Effect of rat serum lipoproteins on mRNA levels and amiodarone metabolism by cultured primary rat hepatocytes
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2013 , Article)Hyperlipidemia can significantly increase amiodarone (AM) in vivo liver uptake and decrease its velocity of microsomal metabolism. Here, hepatocytes isolated from normolipidemic (NL) and hyperlipidemic rats were incubated ... -
Mercury pollution in doha (Qatar) coastal environment
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 1994 , Article)Surface water and sediment samples were collected from the Doha coastal area and analyzed for content of physico-chemical forms of mercury. Dissolved reactive Hg (2.9 ng L?1) represented 81.0% of the total dissolved Hg ... -
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed PLA/PHBV biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2015 , Article)The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) blends and nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. PLA/PHBV at 50/50 ... -

( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2004 , Article)Powdered cerium dioxide (ceria, CeO2) as compressed, sintered pellets, of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99 g cm−3, were treated in hydrogen flow at 1 atm and various temperatures to effect reduction. The electrical conductivity ... -
Targeting Osteopontin, the Silent Partner of Na+/H+ Exchanger Isoform 1 in Cardiac Remodeling
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2015 , Article)Cardiac hypertrophy (CH), characterized by the enlargement of cardiomyocytes, fibrosis and apoptosis, contributes to cardiac remodeling, which if left unresolved results in heart failure. Understanding the signaling pathways ... -
Theoretical study of laser light generation and color image formation: FA1:Cs+ and FA2:Li+ centers at the low coordination (100) and (110) surfaces of AgCl and AgBr
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2005 , Article)The FA1:Cs+ and FA2:Li+ color centers at the low coordination (100) and (110) surfaces of AgCl and AgBr play important roles in laser light generation and color image formation. Double-well potentials at these surfaces are ... -
The Three CARMA Sisters: So Different, So Similar: A Portrait of the Three CARMA Proteins and Their Involvement in Human Disorders
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2014 , Article)Initially identified by their ability to modulate the functional activity of BCL10, the three CARMA proteins, CARMA1, -2, and -3, have recently themselves taken a leading role on the stage of molecular medicine. Although ...
