Stress Increases Vulnerability to Inflammation in the Rat Prefrontal Cortex
(Society for Neuroscience, 2006)
Inflammation could be involved in some neurodegenerative disorders that accompany signs of inflammation. However, because sensitivity to inflammation is not equal in all brain structures, a direct relationship is not clear. ...

Elongation factor 2-diphthamide is critical for translation of two IRES-dependent protein targets, XIAP and FGF2, under oxidative stress conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)
Elongation factor-2 (eEF2) catalyzes the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. A single histidine residue in eEF2 (H715) is modified to form diphthamide. A role for eEF2 in cellular stress responses is highlighted by ...

Molecular Control of the Amount, Subcellular Location and Activity State of Translation Elongation Factor 2 (eEF-2) in Neurons Experiencing Stress
(Eslsevier, 2013)
Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF-2) is an important regulator of the protein translation machinery wherein it controls the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. The activity of eEF-2 is regulated by changes in cellular ...

Physical exercise and myokines
(Spanish Society of Anti-Aging Medicine and Longevity, 2019-10)
Among the types of muscles present in the body is skeletal muscle, which is the one that allows the development of physical activity thanks to the contractile activity of its muscle cells. It is known that physical ...

Effect of VBC-1814/7J, a poly-phytocompound, on a non-infectious model of pharyngitis
(Spandidos Publications, 2017)
Pharyngitis presents as an inflammation of the oropharynx, and clinical examination often shows evidence of nasopharyngitis. In numerous cases the condition occurs as a self-limiting illness of non-infectious aetiology, ...

Effect of Age and Lipoperoxidation in Rat and Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells
(Hindawi, 2020)
A wide range of clinical applications in regenerative medicine were opened decades ago with the discovery of adult stem cells. Highly promising adult stem cells are mesenchymal stem/stromal cells derived from adipose tissue ...

Effect of oxidative stress, produced by cumene hydroperoxide, on the various steps of protein synthesis. Modifications of elongation factor-2
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1996)
We have studied the effect of oxidative stress on protein synthesis in rat liver. Cumene hydroperoxide (CH) was used as an oxidant agent. The approach used was to determine the ribosomal state of aggregation and the time ...

Potential use of adipose tissue stem cells in the control of aging
(Federation of Anti-Aging Medicine Societies, 2012)
Cell therapy with adult stem cells is a new battle front for the control of aging. Before being used for this purpose, we need to answer several basic questions about the biochemistry and physiology of these cells. This ...

Folic acid supplementation: some practical aspects
(Federation of Anti-Aging Medicine Societies, 2012)
Since 1956, when Harman first postulated the free radical theory of aging, numerous studies have been carried out to test the protective action of antioxidants. One of these protective compounds used in antioxidant therapy ...

Treatment with mesenchymal stem cells in an animal model of parkinson´s disease
(Federation of Anti-Aging Medicine Societies, 2015)
