Amyloid-beta peptide A beta p3-42 affects early aggregation of full-length A beta 1-42
(East Carolina University, 2009-05)
The major amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides found in the brain of familial and late onset Alzheimer’s
disease include the full-length Aβ1-42 and N-terminally truncated, pyroglutamylated peptides
Aβp3-42 and Aβp11-42. The ...
Circadian activation of mast cells mediates the nocturnal response in allergic asthma
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Circadian rhythm is a conserved physiological feature of most organisms. Nocturnal symptoms are a common feature of allergic asthma in humans. Patients with nocturnal asthma show circadian variation of their pulmonary ...
Role of neuronal nitric oxide in the regulation of vasopressin expression and release in response to inhibition of cathecholamine synthesis and dehydration
(East Carolina University, 2007-10-22)
We used neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) gene knockout mice to study the effects of
catecholamines and neuronal nitric oxide on vasopressin expression in the hypothalamic
neurosecretory centers. nNOS gene deletion ...
The role of cardiac mitochondria in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) exerts economic and humanitarian costs that are unparalleled by any other disease. Of the many etiologies of CVD, myocardial infarction accounts for over 50% of the associated mortality and ...
