25. PPARs and the Cardiovascular System
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) belong to the nuclear hormone-receptor superfamily. Originally cloned in 1990, PPARs were found to be mediators of pharmacologic agents that induce hepatocyte peroxisome proliferation. PPARs also are expressed in cells of the cardiovascular system. PPARγ appears to be highly expressed during atheroscleroti

26. Humic Acid Reduction by Propionibacterium freudenreichii and Other Fermenting Bacteria
Iron-reducing bacteria have been reported to reduce humic acids and low-molecular-weight quinones with electrons from acetate or hydrogen oxidation. Due to the rapid chemical reaction of amorphous ferric iron with the reduced reaction products, humic acids and low-molecular-weight redox mediators may play an important role in biological iron reduction. Since

27. Effect of the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor ZD2138 on allergen-induced early and late asthmatic responses.
BACKGROUND--Leukotrienes are lipid mediators generated from arachidonic acid by the 5-lipoxygenase pathway which may play an important part in the pathophysiology of asthma. Previous studies have demonstrated attenuation of the allergen-induced early and late asthmatic responses by leukotriene receptor antagonists. The effect of the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor

28. Identification of ccdA in Paracoccus pantotrophus GB17: Disruption of ccdA Causes Complete Deficiency in c-Type Cytochromes
A transposon Tn5-mob insertional mutant of Paracoccus pantotrophus GB17, strain TP43, was unable to oxidize thiosulfate aerobically or to reduce nitrite anaerobically, and the cellular yields were generally decreased by 11 to 20%. Strain TP43 was unable to form functional c-type cytochromes, as determined by difference spectroscopy and heme staining. However

29. The Radical Trap 5,5-Dimethyl-1-Pyrroline N-Oxide Exerts Dose-Dependent Protection against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury through Preservation of Mitochondrial Electron Transport
Free radicals are important mediators of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Nitrone spin traps have been shown to scavenge free radicals. The cardioprotective effect of the spin trap, 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), was investigated in an isolated heart model of global ischemia and reperfusion. Rat hearts were perfused and subjected to glob
