Genetic polymorphisms of PPAR gamma, arsenic methylation capacity and breast cancer risk in Mexican women

Salud pública Méx; 58 (2), 2016
Abstract Objective: To evaluate whether the presence of polymorphisms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma PPARγ (Pro 1 2Ala) and PPARGC1B (Ala203Pro) modifies the association between the inorganic arsenic (iAs) methylation capacity and breast cancer (BC). Materials and methods: Mex...

Protective roles of free avian respiratory macrophages in captive birds

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
In the mammalian lung, respiratory macrophages provide front line defense against invading pathogens and particulate matter. In birds, respiratory macrophages are known as free avian respiratory macrophages (FARM) and a dearth of the cells in the avian lung has been purported to foreordain a weak first l...

Potential role of marine algae extract on 3T3-L1 cell proliferation and differentiation: an in vitro approach

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: From ancient times, marine algae have emerged as alternative medicine and foods, contains the rich source of natural products like proteins, vitamins, and secondary metabolites, especially Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) contains numerous anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and wound healing sub...

Prevalence of the rs1801282 single nucleotide polymorphism of the PPARG gene in patients with metabolic syndrome

Objective This study aimed to get the genotypic and allelic frequencies of rs1801282 in 179 volunteer donors and 154 patients with Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Brasilia, Brazil and also examine the association with anthropometric, biochemical and hemodynamic variables in the latter group. MetS comprises ...

Diet high in alpha-linolenic acid up-regulate PPAR-gamma gene expression in the liver of goats

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (3), 2015
Background There is little information on the effects of diets containing high α-linolenic acid (C18:3n-3) on liver lipid composition and lipogenic gene expressions. In this study fourteen goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) were fed either a flaxseed oil (FSO) supplemented diet containing high α-lin...

mRNA transcription and protein expression of PPARgamma, FAS, and HSL in different parts of the carcass between fat-tailed and thin-tailed sheep

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (3), 2015
Background The objective of this study was to compare the level differences of mRNA transcription and protein expression of PPARγ, FAS and HSL in different parts of the carcass in different tail-type sheep. Six Tan sheep and six Shaanbei fine-wool sheep aged 9 months were slaughtered and samples wer...

PPARgamma FAS, HSL mRNA and protein expression during Tan sheep fat-tail development

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (2), 2015
Background The objective of this study was to investigate proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ), fatty acid synthase (FAS) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) mRNA and protein expression in fat tails of Tan sheep. Rams from different developmental stages (aged 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months) were se...

Efeito do agonista PPAR LYSO-7 sobre a instalação e cicatrização de úlceras gástricas induzidas em camundongos

A úlcera gástrica é uma doença crônica, de alta prevalência, e a eficácia dos tratamentos farmacológicos disponíveis é limitada pela alta incidência de efeitos adversos. Neste trabalho é mostrado o mecanismo de ação terapêutica e os efeitos toxicológicos da molécula indol-tiazolidínica ...

Propriedades antiaterogênicas de novas tiazolidino-2, 4-dionas

Tiazolidinadionas (TZDs) são agentes sensibilizadores de insulina que agem por ligação ao receptor gama ativado por proliferador de peroxissomos (PPARγ). Elas têm apresentado efeitos cardioprotetores em humanos e propriedades anti-aterogênicas em modelos animais. Estudos in vitro têm sugerido que ...
