متن کاملAMPK: Lessons from transgenic and knockout animals.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a phylogenetically conserved serine/threonine protein kinase, has been proposed to function as a fuel gauge to monitor cellular energy status in response to nutritional environmental variations. AMPK system is a regulator of energy balance that, once activated by low energy status, switches on ATP-producing catabolic pathways (such as fatty acid oxidation an...

متن کاملExperimental Studies on Trypanosoma (schizotrypanum) Cruzi Strains Isolated from Man, from Animals and from Triatomine Bugs in Brazil *
A study on nine strains of T. cruzi isolated from man, from animais and from triatomine bugs in Brazil are described. The parasites were slightly viscerotropic in white mice in lix of the strains, highly viscerotropic and carãiotropic in two strains, and asymptomatic on one strain. Mechanical and cyclical passage from infected to healthy mice, anã treatment of the infected mice with immunosuppr...
