Prediction of structurally conserved regions of D-specific hydroxy acid dehydrogenases by multiple alignment with formate dehydrogenase.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Autophagy and apoptosis are two important regulators of cell survival, and are often observed simultaneously in response to noxious stimuli. Anoxia is a known stimulus for autophagy and apoptosis, and angiotensin (Ang) II is a major mediator of anoxic injury. However, specific responses to anoxia and Ang II ...

Because 5-ASA is well absorbed in the small intestine, very high dose of 5-ASA is required to deliver it to the large intestine which is a target site. Interestingly, 5-ASA is reported to be transported into...
