Background and Purpose Incidence, case-fatality rate at 28 days, and severity of acute stroke were recorded for 7 years in a large population-based stroke register to understand the reasons for the decline in stroke mortality in northern Sweden. Methods Within the framework of the World Health Organization MONICA Project, acute stroke was monitored in people aged 35 to 74 years in northern Swed...

conclusions we suggest that regular aerobic exercise can favorably alter the inflammatory profile, which is a known risk factor in breast cancer development, in postmenopausal women. patients and methods this study was a randomized controlled trial. we randomly assigned 41 postmenopausal, sedentary women aged 50 to 74 to either an exercise or a control group. the intervention involved facility-...

Activated AMPK protects the heart from cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and is associated with inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) opening. On the other hand, pharmacological inhibition of the PTP reduces infarct size and improves cardiac function. However, it is unclear whether beneficial effects of AMPK are mediated through the PTP and, if they are not, whet...

Pigment Yellow 74 (PY74) is a monoazo pigment that is used in yellow tattoo inks. The metabolism of PY74 was investigated using rat liver and human liver microsomes and expressed human cytochromes P450 (P450s). Two phase I metabolites were isolated and characterized by mass spectrometry and NMR techniques. One metabolite (PY74-M1) was a ring hydroxylation product of PY74, 2-((2-methoxy-4-nitrop...
