Biochemical and Molecular Actions of Nutrients Dietary Resveratrol Does Not Affect Intestinal Tumorigenesis in Apc Mice
To determine its effect on intestinal tumorigenesis and the protumorigenic COX pathway in Apc mice, resveratrol was administered as a powdered admixture in the diet at 0, 4, 20, or 90 mg/kg body weight for 7 wk. In two separate experiments, resveratrol did not affect intestinal tumor load. It was stable in the diet under experimental conditions, circulated in the plasma as the glucuronide-conju...
متن کاملExcess dietary methionine does not affect fracture healing in mice
BACKGROUND An elevated serum concentration of homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia) has been shown to disturb fracture healing. As the essential amino acid, methionine, is a precursor of homocysteine, we aimed to investigate whether excess methionine intake affects bone repair. MATERIAL/METHODS We analyzed bone repair in 2 groups of mice. One group was fed a methionine-rich diet (n=13), and the...
متن کاملSomatostatin does not attenuate intestinal injury in dextran sodium sulphate-induced subacute colitis.
FRom several in vitro and in vivo studies involvement of somatostatin (SMS) in intestinal inflammation emerge. Acute colitis induced in rats is attenuated by the long-acting SMS analogue octreotide. We studied the potential beneficial effect of SMS on non-acute experimental colitis. BALB/c mice received either saline, SMS-14 (36 or 120 microg daily) or octreotide (3 microg daily) subcutaneously...
متن کاملDeletion of the huntingtin proline-rich region does not significantly affect normal huntingtin function in mice.
The N-terminus of Huntingtin, the protein encoded by the Huntington's disease gene, contains a stretch of polyglutamine residues that is expanded in Huntington's disease. The polyglutamine stretch is flanked by two conserved protein domains in vertebrates: an N1-17 domain, and a proline-rich region (PRR). The PRR can modulate the structure of the adjacent polyglutamine stretch, and is a binding...
متن کاملDisrupting the luxS quorum sensing gene does not significantly affect Bacillus anthracis virulence in mice or guinea pigs
Many bacterial species use secreted quorum-sensing autoinducer molecules to regulate cell density- and growth phase-dependent gene expression, including virulence factor production, as sufficient environmental autoinducer concentrations are achieved. Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, contains a functional autoinducer (AI-2) system, which appears to regulate virulence gene expr...
