Quelling an innate response to dsRNA

The interferon inducible oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)/RNase L pathway is an innate defense against invading viral pathogens that is linked to cell survival [reviewed in 1]. OAS family proteins are pattern recognition receptors that recognize double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), a pathogen-associated molecular pattern. In the presence of dsRNA, which is produced during the replication cycle of a broa...

Thermomechanical properties of ABS/PA AND ABS/PC blends

The significant increase of Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) has led to an important research in upgrading recycled engineering plastics by means of a blending technique. Classical twin-screw extrusion is compared to a new blending technique, where two polymers are combined together and then flow in several static mixers. This technique allows to obtain different morphologies of c...

AntiOxidant Formula abs /CD

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of supplementation with an association of small physiological amounts of antioxidant nutrients upon biochemical parameters and indicators of oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes. DESIGN: The study included a double-blind placebo-controlled design. SUBJECTS: 575 elderly long term hospitalized subjects aged 65-103 years. INTERVENTION: Four groups were compared....

Zinc abs/CD

The activities of liver, muscle, and red blood cell enzymes involved in the degradation of purine were assayed in zinc deficient (ZD), pair-fed control (PF) and ad libitum-fed control (Ad lib) rats. Diets (1.5 ppm of zinc in ZD diet and 110 ppm in control diet) were fed to rats for 6 weeks after which they were sacrificed and tissues isolated for several assays. Results indicated a significant ...
