Effect of Matrix on Surface Pressure-Responsive Morphological Change of Ganglioside GM1 (GM1), Related to the Individual Role of GM1 in Each Organ?

Trial of ganglioside GM1 in acute stroke.

Ganglioside GM1 (100 mg) was given daily by intramuscular injection for 28 days in a double-blind placebo controlled trial of acute stroke. No significant difference was detected in a 6 month follow-up period between well matched control and active groups. Although the number of patients studied was small the findings are believed to indicate that GM1 is unlikely to be of value in the treatment...

GM1 ganglioside-independent intoxication by Cholera toxin

Cholera toxin (CT) enters and intoxicates host cells after binding cell surface receptors via its B subunit (CTB). We have recently shown that in addition to the previously described binding partner ganglioside GM1, CTB binds to fucosylated proteins. Using flow cytometric analysis of primary human jejunal epithelial cells and granulocytes, we now show that CTB binding correlates with expression...

The GM1 Ganglioside Forms GM1-Rich Gel Phase Microdomains within Lipid Rafts

Mercury-supported, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of the sole dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and of a raft-forming mixture of DOPC, cholesterol (Chol) and palmitoylsphingomyelin (PSM) of (59:26:15) mol% composition, were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), both in the absence and in the presence of the monosialoganglioside GM1. The impedance spectra of these four...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
