Cobalt induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in HeLa cells by an iron-independent, but ROS-, PI-3K- and MAPK-dependent mechanism

Triantafyllou, A.; Liakos, P.; Tsakalof, A.; Georgatsou, E.; Simos, G.; Bonanou, S. (2006)

The iron-chelator desferrioxamine (DFO) and the transition metal cobalt induce hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in normoxia. DFO stabilizes HIF-1 alpha from proteolysis by inhibiting the activity of iron-dependent ...

Diagnostic approach of anemia in ruminants

Katsogiannou E.G., Athanasiou L.V., Christodoulopoulos G., Polizopoulou Z.S. (2018)

Anemia in ruminants is an abnormal condition characterized by the decrease of the hematocrit (Packed Cell Volume, PCV), the mass of erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells, RBCs) and/or hemoglobin. Anemia is classified as hemolytic, ...
