17-β estradiol attenuates the pro-oxidant activity of corticotropin-releasing hormone in macroendothelial cells
(2019)Corticotropin-releasing hormone, which is the predominant regulator of neuroendocrine responses to stress, attenuates inflammation through stimulation of glucocorticoid release. Enhanced corticotropin-releasing hormone ... -
Administration of exercise-conditioned plasma alters muscle catalase kinetics in rat: An argument for in vivo-like Km instead of in vitro-like Vmax
(2018)Maximal velocity (Vmax) is a well established biomarker for the assessment of tissue redox status. There is scarce evidence, though, that it does not probably reflect sufficiently in vivo tissue redox profile. Instead, the ... -
Annonacin promotes selective cancer cell death via NKA-dependent and SERCA-dependent pathways
(2018)In the healthcare sector, phytocompounds are known to be beneficial by contributing or alleviating a variety of diseases. Studies have demonstrated the progressive effects of phytocompounds on immune-related diseases and ... -
Anti-angiogenic effect of a Palladium(II)-Saccharinate Complex of Terpyridine in vitro and in vivo
(2017)Anti-angiogenic activity of palladium (Pd)(II)-based complexes is unknown despite their quite powerful anticancer activity. This study was therefore carried out to evaluate both in vivo anti-angiogenic effect and in vitro ... -
Anti-invasive effects of CXCR4 and FAK inhibitors in non-small cell lung carcinomas with mutually inactivated p53 and PTEN tumor suppressors
(2017)Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. At the time of diagnosis, a large percentage of NSCLC patients have already developed metastasis, responsible for extremely high mortality rates. ... -
Anti-platelet effects of vitamin supplements in age-related macular degeneration: an in vitro study
(2018)Objective: The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the role of vitamin supplements (Ocuvite, Vitalux Omega, and Nutrof Total) as possible inhibitors of the onset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). ... -
Antibiotic Resistance Patterns and mcr-1 Detection in Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates from Commercial Layer and Layer Breeder Flocks Demonstrating Colibacillosis in Greece
(2021)Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of Escherichia coli strains isolated from poultry flocks suffering from colibacillosis in Greece and to detect the presence ... -
Anticancer and apoptosis-inducing effects of quercetin in vitro and in vivo
(2017)The present study focused on the elucidation of the putative anticancer potential of quercetin. The anticancer activity of quercetin at 10, 20, 40, 80 and 120 μM was assessed in vitro by MMT assay in 9 tumor cell lines ... -
Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of various Greek garlic genotypes
(2018)Recent studies show a significant variation in antioxidant and antimicrobial properties between the various garlic genotypes mostly due to differences in chemical composition and bioactive compounds content. The aim of the ... -
Antiparasitic and immunomodulatory effect of innovative treatments against Myxobolus sp. infection in Diplodus puntazzo
(2005)The potential antiparasitic and immunomodulatory effect of three treatments against myxosporean parasites on the innate immune system of sharpsnout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo) was investigated. Fish naturally infected ... -
Applications of nanotechnology in diagnostics and therapeutics of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease
(2015)In this paper, an extended review analysis has been presented concerning the developments in brain drug delivery through new and efficient applications of nanotechnology. Modern nanotechnological approaches for the diagnosis ... -
The architecture of hydrogen and sulfur σ-hole interactions explain differences in the inhibitory potency of C-β-D-glucopyranosyl thiazoles, imidazoles and an N-β-D glucopyranosyl tetrazole for human liver glycogen phosphorylase and offer new insights to structure-based design
(2020)C-Glucopyranosyl imidazoles, thiazoles, and an N-glucopyranosyl tetrazole were assessed in vitro and ex vivo for their inhibitory efficiency against isoforms of glycogen phosphorylase (GP; a validated pharmacological target ... -
Assessment of antioxidant and antimutagenic properties of red and white wine extracts in vitro
(2021)Wine is an alcoholic beverage of complex composition obtained through the fermentation of grape must. The consumption of wine has already been associated with a multitude of beneficial effects due to its high polyphenolic ... -
Assessment of the antioxidant activity of an olive oil total polyphenolic fraction and hydroxytyrosol from a Greek Olea europea variety in endothelial cells and myoblasts
(2017)Olive oil (OO) constitutes the basis of the Mediterranean diet, and it seems that its biophenols, such as hydroxytyrosol (HT) may scavenge free radicals, attracting distinct attention due to their beneficial effects in ... -
A battery of translational biomarkers for the assessment of the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant action of plant polyphenolic compounds: The biomarker issue
(2019)Over the last decades, the scientific findings stressing the beneficial health implications of plant-derived compounds (i.e., plant extracts rich in polyphenols) have been increased significantly. Assessing the properties ... -
