THE RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM AS A THERAPEUTIC TARGET IN LATE INJURY CAUSED BY ISCHEMIA-REPERFUSION

The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System as a Therapeutic Target in Late Injury Caused by Ischemia-Reperfusion

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a well-known phenomenon that involves different pathophysiological processes.Connection in diverse systems of survival brings about cellular dysfunction or even apoptosis.One of the survival systems of the cells, to the assault caused by ischemia, is the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (al

Hypoglycemic Effects in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats of the Phenolic Extract from Mongolian Oak Cups Enriched in Ellagic Acid, Kaempferol and Their Derivatives

Our previous reports showed that crude extract prepared with 50% ethanol (ethanol crude extract, ECE) from Mongolian oak cups possessed excellent in vitro antioxidant capacities as well as inhibitory MINERAL activities against α-glucosidase, α-amylase and protein glycation caused by its enrichment in phenolics, including mainly ellagic

Antibacterial Efficacy of Polysaccharide Capped Silver Nanoparticles Is Not Compromised by AcrAB-TolC Efflux Pump

Antibacterial therapy is of paramount importance in treatment of several acute and chronic infectious diseases caused by pathogens.Over the years extensive use and misuse of antimicrobial agents has led to emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensive drug resistant (XDR) pathogens.This drastic escalation in resistant phenotype has limited t
