Anti-angiogenic function of tocotrienol.
Angiogenesis means the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting vascular, is of fundamental importance in several pathological states such as tumor growth, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetic retinopathy. Angiogenesis involves a set of steps, including activation and movement of endothelial cells and tube formation. Control of these steps by drugs or dietary food components is a hopeful a...
متن کاملthe imbalance in expression of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors as candidate predictive biomarker in preeclampsia
preeclampsia is an important pregnancy disorder with serious maternal and fetal complications which its etiology has not been completely understood yet. early diagnosis and management of disease could reduce its potential side effects. the vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) family including vegf-a is the most potent endothelial growth factor which induces angiogenesis and endothelial cel...
متن کاملDual-targeting anti-angiogenic cyclic peptides as potential drug leads for cancer therapy
Peptide analogues derived from bioactive hormones such as somatostatin or certain growth factors have great potential as angiogenesis inhibitors for cancer applications. In an attempt to combat emerging drug resistance many FDA-approved anti-angiogenesis therapies are co-administered with cytotoxic drugs as a combination therapy to target multiple signaling pathways of cancers. However, cancer ...
متن کاملNew Platforms For Drug Screening And Toxicology: Necessity Or Need?
The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body that is responsible for more than 500 vital functions, including biosynthesis of major plasma proteins, immunity against infectious pathogens, balancing energy metabolism and xenobiotics biotransformation (1). One of the main functions of the liver is an important role in drug metabolism (2). Since developing new drug compounds into mark...
متن کاملMapping vertebrate embryos
A major challenge in embryology is to understand how cells become specialized into distinct lineages and assembled into a pattern of tissues that will make up the embryo. The discovery that patterns of gene expression are conserved among embryos of the favourite vertebrate species for laboratory study — zebrafish, frog (Xenopus), chick and mouse — has led to a surge of interest in finding out h...
