Steroidogenesis and phase II conjugation during the gametogenesis of thicklip grey mullet (Chelon labrosus) from a population showing intersex condition.

Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 221 , 144-55, (2015)

Steroidogenesis, the process by which steroid hormones are synthesized, involves a vast number of enzymes and biochemical pathways that are susceptible to chemical modulation. Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are of special concern since they can alter h...

Stool metatranscriptomics: A technical guideline for mRNA stabilisation and isolation.

BMC Genomics 16 , 494, (2015)

The complex microbiome of the gut has an enormous impact on human health. Analysis of the transcriptional activity of microorganisms through mRNA sequencing (metatranscriptomics) opens a completely new window into their activity in vivo, but it is highly chal...

S-equol Partially Restored Endothelial Nitric Oxide Production in Isoflavone-deficient Ovariectomized Rats.

J. Cardiovasc. Pharmacol. 65 , 500-7, (2015)

S-equol is known as an estrogenic substance, but its ability to restore vascular endothelial function is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of S-equol on endothelial function and intimal thickening under isoflavone- and estrogen-defi...

Wettability and surface free energy of polarised ceramic biomaterials.

Biomed. Mater. 10(1) , 011001, (2015)

The surface modification of ceramic biomaterials used for medical devices is expected to improve osteoconductivity through control of the interfaces between the materials and living tissues. Polarisation treatment induced surface charges on hydroxyapatite, β-...

Measuring NAD(+) levels in mouse blood and tissue samples via a surrogate matrix approach using LC-MS/MS.

Bioanalysis 6(11) , 1445-57, (2014)

NAD(+) is an endogenous analyte and is unstable during blood sample collection, both of which present obstacles for quantitation. Moreover, current procedures for NAD(+) sample collection require onsite treatment with strong acid to stabilize the NAD(+) in mo...

Presence of bacteria in failed anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions.

Springerplus 4 , 460, (2015)

Novel microbial detection technologies have revealed that chronic bacterial biofilms, which are recalcitrant to antibiotic treatment, are common in failed orthopedic procedures.Are bacteria present on failed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions? I...

Overexpression of cystatin C in synovium does not reduce synovitis or cartilage degradation in established osteoarthritis.

Arthritis. Res. Ther. 17(1) , 5, (2015)

Cathepsin K (catK) expression is increased in cartilage, bone and synovium during osteoarthritis (OA). To study the role of catK expression and elevated cathepsin activity in the synovium on cartilage destruction in established OA, we overexpressed cystatin C...

Fast responses of metabolites in Vicia faba L. to moderate NaCl stress.

Plant Physiol. Biochem. 92 , 19-29, (2015)

Salt stress impairs global agricultural crop production by reducing vegetative growth and yield. Despite this importance, a number of gaps exist in our knowledge about very early metabolic responses that ensue minutes after plants experience salt stress. Surp...

Activation and alliance of regulatory pathways in C. albicans during mammalian infection.

PLoS Biol. 13(2) , e1002076, (2015)

Gene expression dynamics have provided foundational insight into almost all biological processes. Here, we analyze expression of environmentally responsive genes and transcription factor genes to infer signals and pathways that drive pathogen gene regulation ...

The effect of thai glutinous rice starch on the synthesis of lead zirconate (PbZrO3) nanofibers via the electrospinning method.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 13(5) , 3700-4, (2013)

This study synthesized blended lead zirconate (PbZrO3;PZ)/poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/Glutinous rice starch (GRS) nanofibers by the electrospinning method. A number of parameters such as the ratio between PEO and GRS and calcination temperature have been studie...
