Streszczenie Proces odbudowy uszkodzonych mięśni szkieletowych obejmuje cztery fazy: degeneracji, odpowiedzi zapalnej i immunologicznej, regeneracji oraz reorganizacji, regulowanych przez wiele cząsteczek o charakterze immuno-endokrynnym oddziałujących na komórki mięśniowe macierzyste mięśni. Do tych należy testosteron (T), który wiążąc się z wewnątrzkomórkowym receptorem androgenowym inicjuje ...

Objective(s): Acquisition of TNF-α resistance plays role in the onset and growth of malignant tumors. Previous studies have demonstrated that MCF-7 cell line and its doxorubicin resistant variant MCF-7/Adr are resistant against the cytotoxic effects of TNF-α. In this study, we investigated the role of Akt activation in resistance of MCF-7 and MCF-7/Adr against TNF-α cytotoxicity. Materials and ...

It is believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes including α-amylase and α-glucosidase is one of the therapeutic approaches to decrease the postprandial glucose level after a meal, especially in the people with type 2 diabetes. Medicinal plants and their extracts are one of the main sources to find new inhibitors to the enzymes. In our study four flavonoids, namely luteoli...

This study analyzed the inhibition activity of Swietenia mahagoni seeds extract on α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes inhibition assays.  Swietenia mahagoni seeds were extracted by using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction at pressures of 20- 30 MPa and temperatures of 40- 60°C.  The oil yields obtained were analyzed with α- glucosidase and α- amylase enzymes inhibition assays.  A...
