Comparison of the electrophysiological properties of the sheep isolated costal and diaphragmatic parietal pleura
(2007)
1. Pleural permeability may contribute to pleural fluid turnover. The transmesothelial resistance (R-TM), is an established surrogate of mesothelial permeability. The aim of the present study was to compare the ...
The flavonoid quercetin induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) and inhibits cell proliferation by depleting intracellular iron
(2007)
Quercetin, a flavonoid with anti- oxidant, metal chelating, kinase modulating and anti- proliferative properties, can induce hypoxia- inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in normoxia, but its mechanism of action has not ...
Insulin causes a transient induction of proliferation via activation of the PI3-kinase pathway in airway smooth muscle cells
(2007)
Insulin regulates glucose metabolism and activates cell growth. As the respiratory system is an alternative route for insulin administration in patients with diabetes mellitus, we studied the effect of insulin on rabbit ...
Exposure of differentiated airway smooth muscle cells to serum stimulates both induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha and airway responsiveness to ACh
(2007)
Airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells are characterized by phenotypic plasticity and can switch between differentiated and proliferative phenotypes. In rabbit tracheal ASM cells that had been differentiated in vitro by serum ...
