متن کاملInteractive Effects of Exhaustive Exercise Training and Curcumin Supplementation on PDGF-BB and TGF-β1 Gene Expressions in Alcoholic Rats
Background and Objectives: Curcumin and exercise training are suggested to improve hepatic disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of two weeks of swimming training and curcumin supplementation on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) gene expressions following ethanol consumption in Wistar male rats. Materials and Methods: ...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor-β1 Preserves Bovine Nasal Cartilage against Degradation Induced by Interleukin-1α in Explant Culture
Background and Aims: Chondrocytes and their differentiation play a central role in joint diseases. Effect of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 on chondrocyte characteristics and differentiation is not clearly understood. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of TGF-β1 on tissue characteristics and morphology of chondrocytes against degradation induced by interleuk...
متن کاملSinonasal sarcoidosis: review and report of fifteen cases.
OBJECTIVES Sinonasal sarcoidosis remains a poorly understood and uncommon chronic granulomatous disease of unclear origin. We have attempted to characterize the main clinical and radiologic criteria for diagnosis and to discuss the treatment. METHODS A retrospective study of 15 cases of chronic, symptomatic, and biopsy-proven sinonasal sarcoidosis and a review of the literature are realized. ...
متن کاملRecombinant fibromodulin has therapeutic effects on diabetic nephropathy by down-regulating transforming growth factor-β1 in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model
Objective(s):Diabetic nephropathy is an important long-term complication of diabetes mellitus which appears to be partially mediated by an increase in secretion of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Fibromodulin, the small leucine-rich proteoglycan, has been proposed to be the potent TGFβ1 modulator. In this study, the therapeutic effects of recombinant adenoviral vectors expressing fibromod...
