Interaction between Commonly Used Flavouring in Kitchen and P-Glycoprotein

Deposition of carbon nanotubes in commonly used sample filter media

There is no single standard technique or methodology to characterize the size, structure, number, and chemical composition of airborne carbon nanotubes.  Existing analytical instruments and analytical techniques for evaluating nanoparticle concentrations cannot simultaneously provide morphology, state of agglomeration, surface area, mass, size distribution and chemical composition data critical...

Identification of the Interaction between P-Glycoprotein and Anxa2 in Multidrug-resistant Human Breast Cancer Cells

OBJECTIVE To explore the interaction of Anxa2 with P-Glycoprotein (P-gp) in the migration and invasion of the multidrug-resistant (MDR) human breast cancer cell line MCF-7/ADR. METHODS A pair of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting P-gp was transfected into MCF-7/ADR cells, and monoclonal cell strains were screened. The expression of P-gp was detected by Western blot. Transwell chambers were u...

Low-density lipoprotein and ritonavir: an interaction between antiretrovirals and lipids mediated by P-glycoprotein.

BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy has considerably reduced HIV disease progression, but complete eradication of HIV cannot actually be achieved. Moreover, prolonged use of protease inhibitors (PIs) causes profound changes in lipid metabolism with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is expressed on many cell types, playing an important role in the efflux of drugs ...

Interaction between topically and systemically coadministered P-glycoprotein substrates/inhibitors: effect on vitreal kinetics.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of topically coadministered P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates/inhibitors on the vitreal kinetics of a systemically administered P-gp substrate. Anesthetized male rabbits were used in these studies. The concentration-time profile of quinidine in the vitreous humor, after intravenous administration, was determined alone and in the pr...
