Physiological Functions and Metabolism of COX
Prostaglandin metabolism plays a pivotal role in inflammatory processes and has also been demonstrated to have a role in carcinogenesis, tumor differentiation and tumor growth in breast cancer. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is the key involved enzyme, as it triggers prostaglandin synthesis. We reviewed the current literature regarding the impact of prostaglandin metabolism on breast cancer and illus...
متن کاملPhosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate: metabolism and physiological functions.
Phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) is a membrane phospholipid composed of diacylglycerol and a D-myo-inositol head group. In mammals, the hydroxyl groups at the D3, D4 and D5 positions of the inositol ring can be phosphorylated to yield seven phosphoinositide derivatives. PtdIns-3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P2] is the most recently discovered species of phosphoinositide that is generated by the phos...
متن کاملVITAMIN A: METABOLISM AND FUNCTIONS [Table/Fig-1]
Vitamin A is involved in regulation of fetal lung growth. It protects the preterm lung from oxidative damage. It maintains the integrity of respiratory tract epithelium and helps in differentiation of epithelial cells. In addition, it is necessary for the formation of photosensitive visual pigment in the retina. Preterm neonates, especially very low birth weight (VLBW) have lower concentrations...
متن کاملVitamin D metabolism and its clinical application.
included the unravelling of the major steps in its metabolism and a sounder understanding of the actions of vitamin D at a variety of target organs. We are now in a position where this new knowledge can be applied to understanding the basis of many clinical disorders and to improving the management ofsome ofthese. In addition, an appreciation ofthe metabolism and actions of vitamin D allows the...
متن کاملPair and its Physiological Practice
سیستم ارتباطی جنین و مادر به هنگام حاملگی از دو بازو تشکیل شده است. اولین بازو، بازوی جفتی است (Placental arm) که نقش فیزیولوژیکی نظیر تغذیه و فعالیتهای آندوکرینی را ایفاء می نماید و اجزای تشریحی آن عبارت است از خون جنین، جفت و خون مادر. دومین بازو، بازوی پاراکرینی (Paracrin-arm) است که از مهم ترین وظایف آن می توان حفظ و بقای حاملگی، قبول پیوندهای نیم آلوژنیک جنین، حفاظت جسمی جنین و امر زایمان ...
