Mechanism of Action of the Thyroid Hormone on the Heart
SUMMARY The foliowing cardiac effects may be attributed to thyroxin: 1-Thyroxin augments all anaerobic processes in the body includ::ng the heart, and decreases the glycogen content of the heart ( 1, 2, 5, 27). The resistance of the heart to anoxia is increased in hyperthyroidism ( 25). 2- Thyroxin influences the cardiac weight and prevents cardiac atrophy (3, 8, 10, 11, 19, 20, 21, 30...
متن کاملMechanism of Action of Factor D of the Alternative Complement
Factor D, also referred to as C3 proactivator convertase, constitutes the activating enzyme of the C3 convertase of the alternative pathway (2) . As such, it is an essential component of initiation and amplification of the pathway (3, 4) . The enzyme cleaves factor B, or C3 proactivator, into the activation fragment Ba (30,000 daltons) and the active site bearing fragment Bb (62,000 daltons) (5...
متن کاملAntibacterial Activity of Polypyrrole-Chitosan Nanocomposite: Mechanism of Action
Polypyrrole-chitosan nanocomposite (PPy-CTN) was synthesized by dispersion polymerization of PPy in presence of CTN. Preparation of spherical PPy nanoparticles that were successfully covered with a thin layer of chitosan was confirm by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique. Characterization techniques also revealed the presence of CNT in the polymer matrix and its presence was confir...
متن کاملDiabetes and Oxidative Stress: The Mechanism and Action
Abstract Diabetes mellitus is one of the major metabolic disorders. Diabetes is recognized for severe complications including diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. Long-lasting effect of hyperglycemia results in increased oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between radical-generating and radical scavenging systems. Increased oxidative stress has been shown ...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Complement Fixation
1. Complement fixation is obtained in every antigen-antibody reaction involving the presence or formation of a heterogeneous phase (red cells, bacteria, precipitate). 2. The physical constants of fixation (temperature coefficient, velocity, quantitative relationships between the reactants) are those commonly associated with adsorption processes, and are the same in the three types of fixation s...
