Introduction: Consumption of anabolic steroids causes damage to various tissues, including the heart. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training (RT) on malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl (PC) in the heart tissue of rats exposed to stanozolol (S). Methods: In this experimental study, 18 rats with mean age of 8 weeks and weight range of 150 to 200 g were ...

The protein C (PC) pathway is a well-characterized coagulation system. Endothelial PC receptors and thrombomodulin mediate the conversion of PC to its activated form, a potent anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory molecule. Here we show that the PC pathway is expressed on intestinal epithelial cells. The epithelial expression of PC and endothelial PC receptor is down-regulated In patients with in...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the molecular mechanisms involved in late preconditioning-induced cell protection in endothelial cells. METHODS AND RESULTS Preconditioning (PC) was induced by exposing bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) to 3 cycles of 15 minutes of hypoxia followed by 15 minutes of reoxygenation. A 12-hour period of hypoxia induced cell death in 60% of BAEC...
