Stress-induced alternations in CuZnSOD and MnSOD activity in cellular compartments of rat liver
(Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2011)
Exposure to different stressors initiates generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which create harmful environment for cellular macromolecules. Superoxide dismutases (SODs) represent the first line of antioxidant ...
Regulation of Catecholamine-Synthesising Enzymes and beta-Adrenoceptors Gene Expression in Ventricles of Stressed Rats
(Physiological Research, 2011)
Stress exposure activates the sympathoneural system, resulting in catecholamine release. Chronic stress is associated with development of numerous disorders, including cardiovascular diseases. Here we investigated the ...
The non-isothermal combustion process of hydrogen peroxide treated animal bones. Kinetic analysis
(Thermochimica Acta, 2011)
The non-isothermal combustion process of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) treated animal bones was investigated by TG-DTA techniques. The kinetic triplet for the investigated combustion process was established, using different ...
Regulation of atrial catecholamine enzymes and adrenoceptor gene expression after chronic stress
(Acta Physiologica Hungarica, 2011)
Chronic stress is a risk factor for the development of numerous psychopathological conditions in humans including depression. Changes in gene expression of tyrosine-hydroxylase (TH), dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) ...
The Bloch-Gruneisen function of arbitrary order and its series representations
(Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 2011)
We derive several series representations for the Bloch-Gruneisen function of an arbitrary (integer or noninteger) order and show that it is related to other, more familiar special functions more commonly used in mathematical ...
Flouxetine treatment acts selectively increasing myocardial beta(1)-adrenoceptor mRNA expression in stress-induced depression
(Pharmazie, 2011)
Changes in gene expression of beta(i)- and beta(2)-adrenoceptors (beta(1)- and beta(2)-AR) in right and left atria and ventricles after fluoxetine treatment in stress-induced depression of adult rat males were studied. ...
Oxidation of Diazinon for the Sensitive Detection By Cholinesterase-Based Bioanalytical Method
(Journal of Environmental Protection and Ecology, 2011)
The conversion of diazinon, the model compound for OPs, to more potent AChE inhibitor diazoxon was investigated, using enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) as an oxidant. The aim was to enhance its inhibitory power in order to ...
Natural radioactivity of materials used in industry and construction in Serbia
(Journal of Environmental Science and Health. Part A: Toxic Hazardous Substances and Environmental Engineering, 2011)
Four different kinds of materials (feldspar, gypsum, clay and kaolin) commonly used in building construction and industry in Serbia were analyzed for their natural radioactivity, using gamma spectrometry. The radium ...
Influence of Black Hole Spin on the Shape of the Fe K Alpha Spectral Line: the Case of 3c 405
(Baltic Astronomy, 2011)
Here we analyze how the angular momenta (spins) of black holes in the centers of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) affect the shape of the Fe K alpha line emitted from their accretion disks. For that purpose, we compared the ...
The Influence of Boron Doping Concentration on MgH2 Electronic Structure
(Acta Physica Polonica. Series A: General Physics, Physics of Condensed Matter, Optics and Quantum Electronics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Applied Physics, 2011)
We have performed ab initio electronic structure calculations of Mg1-xBxH2 compounds with different boron concentrations, ranging from x =0.0625 to 0.5. Full structural relaxation was performed in order to properly describe ...
