Activation of rat pituitary-adrenocortical and sympatho-adrenomedullary system in response to different stressors
(Neuroendocrinology Letters, 2005)
OBJECTIVE: The effects of three different long-term (21 days) stresses: isolation (LTI), forced swimming (LTS) and isolation accompanied by forced swimming (LTI+LTS) on the level of plasma noradrenaline (NA), adrenaline ...
Sulfur release during combustion of Serbian coals
(Fresenius Environmental Bulletin, 2003)
The sulfur release during combustion of six Serbian coals of different rank (from lignite to semi-anthracite) and sulfur content (0.28 - 6.04 %) was determined by analyzing the content of various sulfur forms in coal, char ...
In silico criterion for prediction of effects of p53 gene missense mutations on p53-Mdm2 feedback loop
(Protein and Peptide Letters, 2006)
The Informational Spectrum Method (ISM) is the tool for the in silico analysis of proteins which interprets protein sequence linear information using signal analyses methods. In this paper the ISM was employed to characterize ...
Angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene polymorphism in a Serbian population: a gender-specific association with hypertension
(Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2002)
Human essential hypertension has a multifactorial origin and is caused by a delicate interaction between susceptibility genes and environmental factors. Candidate genes are selected from the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) ...
Synthesis and crystal structure of trans-dichloro(ethylenediamine-N,N -di-3-propionato)platinum(IV) monohydrate
(Journal of Coordination Chemistry, 2002)
This paper reports the first synthesized Pt(IV) complex with ethylenediamine-N,N-di-3-propionato ligand (eddp). The crystal structure of trans-[Pt(eddp)Cl-2] . H2O complex has been determined. Pt(IV) has a distorted ...
Rapid detection of the hypertension-associated A1166C polymorphism of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1)
(Genetic Testing, 2002)
Screening for polymorphisms in the human type 1 angiotensin II receptor locus (AGTR1) has led to the identification of an A1166C transversion in the Y-untranslated region. This molecular variant, C-1166, has been linked ...
Determination of Transient Thermal Interface Resistance Between Two Bonded Metal Bodies using the Laser-Flash Method
(International Journal of Thermophysics, 2008)
The paper presents the data reduction analysis for measurements of the transient thermal interface resistance between two bonded metal bodies using the laser-flash method. By using two different mathematical models, i.e., ...
Effects of stress on catecholamine stores in central and peripheral tissues of long-term socially isolated rats
(Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2006)
Both the peripheral sympatho-adrenomedullary and central catecholaminergic systems are activated by various psycho-social and physical stressors. Catecholamine stores in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, adrenal glands, and ...
Psychosocial stress-related changes in gene expression of norepinephrine biosynthetic enzymes in stellate ganglia of adult rats
(Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical, 2009)
In this study we investigated the changes in norepinephrine biosynthetic enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) gene expression in the stellate ...
Kinetics of inhibition of peroxidase activity of myeloperoxidase by quercetin
(International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, 2008)
The inhibition of myeloperoxidase (MPO), isolated from human neutrophils, by quercetin was investigated by following peroxidase activity of the enzyme using o-dianisidine as the substrate. The inhibition parameters (IC(50)) ...
