The immune response to post-translationally modified antigens is a key characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis. Carbamylation is such a posttranslational modification. Recently, we demonstrated that autoantibodies recognizing carbamylated proteins are present in sera of rheumatoid arthritis. The molecular mechanisms underlying the
Electrochemical measurement of respiratory chain activity is a rapid and reliable screening for the toxicity on microorganisms. Here, we investigated in-vitro effects of toxin on Escherichia coli (E. coli) that was taken as a model microorganism incubated with ferricyanide. The
Dyspnea, hunger for air, and urge to flee are the cardinal symptoms of panic attacks. Patients also show baseline respiratory abnormalities and a higher rate of comorbid and antecedent respiratory diseases. Panic attacks are also precipitated by infusion of sodium
Cortical Spreading Depression (CSD) is a well-studied model of preconditioning that provides a high degree of tolerance to a subsequent ischemic event in the brain. The present study was undertaken in order to determine whether the release of ATP during
GABAergic, nitrergic and glutamatergic mechanisms in the PVN on the baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and on the cardiovascular responses to chemoreflex activation in awake rat were evaluated. Chemoreflex was activated with KCN before and after microinjections
