Lipids and the endothelium

Lipids and the endothelium.

The normal endothelium is characterised by the production of a number of molecules which affect the contractile state of adjacent myocytes and the behavior of formed elements within the blood stream, and by the absence of cell surface adhesion molecules. In addition, endothelial cells are important modulators of coagulation and fibrinolysis. Whilst effects of lipids have been documented on many...

Lipids and the endothelium: an update

Cell signalling by oxidized lipids and the role of reactive oxygen species in the endothelium.

The controlled formation of ROS (reactive oxygen species) and RNS (reactive nitrogen species) is now known to be critical in cellular redox signalling. As with the more familiar phosphorylation-dependent signal transduction pathways, control of protein function is mediated by the post-translational modification at specific amino acid residues, notably thiols. Two important classes of oxidant-de...

the relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test

the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
