alpha-Tocopherol belongs to the group of vitamin E vitamers. Recent years findings indicate that alpha-tocopherol is more than just a simple fat-soluble anti-oxidant as it was found that it can also regulate gene expression. From all vitamin E vitamers human body preferentially retains alpha-tocopherol, but the reasons for this preference are still elusive. Different studies indicated that huma...

Filled-skutterudite heavy fermion (HF) compounds host rich ground states depending on the f electron configurations. CeOs4Sb12 (COS) with Ce 4f1, and PrOs4Sb12 (POS) Pr 4f2 configurations show distinct properties of Kondo insulating HF superconductivity, respectivity. We unveiled underlying microscopic origin by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies. Their eV-scale band structure ma...

AMINO ACIDS are efficiently absorbed in intestine and kidney by epithelial cells endowed with transporters for specific groups of amino acids. Inherited renal aminoacidurias arise as a result of mutations inactivating apical or basolateral transport systems. Although aminoacidurias are diagnosed by urine amino acid analysis, most of the disorders affect both intestinal and renal transport. In t...

background: hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of e. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. therefore, who recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to estimate effects of hyperbaric (hb) treatment by determination of cd15s and cd11b leukocyte proinflammatory markers expression.  in addition, this study describes changes in cd77 and cd34 expression on rat endothelial cells in renal, pulmonary and cardiac tissue following exposure to hyperbaric pressure. materials and methods:expression of cd11b and cd...
