Swimming training alleviated insulin resistance through Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling in type 2 diabetic rats
Objective(s): Increasing evidence suggests that regular physical exercise improves type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the potential beneficial effects of swimming on insulin resistance and lipid disorder in T2DM, and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Materials and Methods: Rats were fed with high fat diet and given a low dosage of Streptozotocin (STZ) to induce T2DM model, and su...
متن کاملThe effects of crocetin, extracted from saffron, in chemotherapy against the incidence of multiple drug resistance phenotype
Objective(s): Crocetin, one of the main substances of saffron extract, has anti-cancer effects. Drug resistance proteins (e.g. MRP1 and MRP2) are important reasons for the failure of cancer therapy. We intended to investigate the efficacy of crocetin on MRP1 and MRP2 activity in human ovarian cisplatin-resistant carcinoma cell line (A2780-RCIS).Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic effect of cro...
متن کاملSame-single-cell analysis for the study of drug efflux modulation of multidrug resistant cells using a microfluidic chip.
Since multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major cause of failure in cancer chemotherapy, we report a microfluidic approach combined with the same-single-cell analysis to investigate the modulation of MDR, manifested as the inhibition of drug efflux. A microfluidic chip that was capable of selecting and retaining a single multidrug-resistant cancer cell was used to investigate drug efflux inhibition...
متن کاملModulation of cellular transport characteristics of the human lung alveolar epithelia
Among the drug delivery and targeting (DDT) routes, lung alveolar epithelium has been given enormous attentions in terms of the delivery of a wide range of macromolecules such as gene- or protein-based nanopharmaceuticals. However, little is known about cellular modulation of lung transport characteristics by endogenous and/or exogenous agents. Thus, in the current study, impact of dexamethason...
متن کاملPotential and use of bacterial small RNAs to combat drug resistance: a systematic review
Background Over the decades, new antibacterial agents have been developed in an attempt to combat drug resistance, but they remain unsuccessful. Recently, a novel class of bacterial gene expression regulators, bacterial small RNAs (sRNAs), has received increasing attention toward their involvement in antibiotic resistance. This systematic review aimed to discuss the potential of these small mol...
