abstract：:Nicotine, an active substance present in tobacco has been identified as a major risk factor for lung related diseases. In the present study, we have evaluated the protective effect of curcumin on circulatory lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in nicotine administered Wistar rats. Lung toxicity was induced by subcutan...

abstract：:The aim of this work was to characterize inner mitochondrial membrane channels permeable to calcium cations (Ca(++)). Mitochondrial membranes isolated from rat heart were incorporated into the bilayer lipid membrane, and single Ca(++) channel currents were measured. The observed channels were selective for Ca(++) and ...

abstract：:Mitochondrial haplogroups can differ in frequency of occurrence in those who are 100 years old and in the rest of the population. These differences are not universally observed; moreover, they are population-specific. We analyzed the haplogroups in 97 Polish 100-year-olds and compared them with those of more than 145 ...

abstract：:The brain is a well-organized, yet highly complex, organ in the mammalian system. Most investigators use the whole brain, instead of a selected brain region(s), for biochemical analytes as toxicological endpoints. As a result, the obtained data is often of limited value, since their significance is compromised due to ...

abstract：:Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity is used widely as a biomarker for tumor promotion in animal model systems. Several previous studies have reported increases in ODC activity in tissues of rats exposed to 60 Hz magnetic fields. The goals of this study were to confirm these findings and to determine whether ODC act...
