Metabolism: clinical and experimental, 62(1), 79-89 (2012-08-15)
The amino acid Arginine (Arg) is the main biological precursor of nitric oxide (NO) and has been described to improve insulin sensitivity in diabetes and obesity. We investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in the long-term effects of Arg on glucose
To understand the pathomechanisms of spinal cord injuries will be a prerequisite to develop efficient therapies. By investigating acute lesions of spinal cord white matter in anesthetized mice with fluorescently labeled microglia and axons using in vivo two-photon laser-scanning microscopy
We investigated the direct effect of a nitric oxide donor (spermine NONOate) on glucose transport in isolated human skeletal muscle and L6 skeletal muscle cells. We hypothesised that pharmacological treatment of human skeletal muscle with N-(2-aminoethyl)-N-(2-hydroxy-2-nitrosohydrazino)-1,2-ethylenediamine (spermine NONOate) would increase
Here we demonstrate a synergistic and tumor selective cytotoxic effect by combined treatment with naphthoxylosides, polyamine synthesis inhibitor, and polyamine based nitric oxide (NO) donor, using in vitro human tumor models. We have earlier reported that heparan sulfate priming naphthoxyloside
Stem cells and development, 23(20), 2469-2481 (2014-05-29)
Temporally distinct populations of neural stem cells (NSCs; embryonic and adult) display the cardinal stem cell properties of self-renewal and multipotentiality; however, their relative frequency and cell kinetics vary through development and into old age. We asked whether changes in
