Calpain and lipopolysaccharide mediated hepatitis
(2009-06-02)This study tested the role of the calcium dependent cytosolic protein calpain in neutrophilic hepatitis. We hypothesized that inhibition of calpain would protect against LPS-induced neutrophilic liver damage. To test our ... -
Cytoprotective Effects of Dietary Fatty Acids on Oxidative Stress in Hepatocytes
(2012-07-11)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, also known as steatosis. This is one of the most common types of liver diseases and can occur in a range of individuals. ... -
The effects of exposure to water soluble fractions of crude oil on the histology and selected histochemical parameters of the liver of Atlantic croaker
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Micropogon undulatus L. (Atlantic croaker) were sampled from an estuary and selected offshore sites in the Gulf of Mexico. Groups of five fish from the estuarine sample were exposed to 5% and 10% dilutions of the water ... -
Effects of nitrite on rabbit hepatic cytochrome P-450
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Reduced rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 binds nitrite to yield an optical absorbance spectrum characterized by a decrease 1n absorbance around 415 nm and an increase in absorbance at 446 nm. A spectral dissociation ... -
Fluid dynamics in the hepatoperitoneal system
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)A study was made of arterial pressure, portal pressure, inferior vena caval pressure, hepatic interstitial pressure (implanted capsule technique), prenodal lymph flow, and the protein concentration in plasma and lymph in ... -
The identification of Hepatotoxins in Kleingrass and a study of their toxicity
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Steroidal saponins were isolated from the alcoholic extracts of kleingrass (Panicum coloratum L.). Their aglycones, or sapogenins, were identified as diosgenin and yamogenin using TLC, melting point analysis and ER ... -
Regulation of Liver Fibrosis via Alteration of Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation During Liver Repair
(2017-07-20)Cholestatic liver diseases including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and alcoholic-induced hepatobiliary damage are growing problems in the United States as well as worldwide. There ... -
The role of lysosomes in the pathogenesis of copper-induced hepatotoxicity
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)The effects of altered lysosomal function on the pathogenesis of copper-induced hepatotoxicity were studied in beige and conventional mice. Copper loading was accomplished through daily intraperitoneal injections of aqueous ... -
Timing Matters: The Role of Circadian Clock Genes In Development and Toxin Responses
(2009-05-15)Most members of the PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) protein family are transcription factors, mediating development and adaptive responses to the environment, such as circadian rhythms and toxin responses. Because the PAS domain mediates ...
