Erythromycin does not directly affect neutrophil functions.
To determine whether erythromycin could affect neutrophil functions, we measured N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-induced chemotaxis and superoxide generation of neutrophils in the presence of erythromycin at various concentrations. Erythromycin had no effect on either of them. We further confirmed that intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was not influenced by FMLP ...
متن کاملDietary vitamin E deficiency does not affect global and specific DNA methylation patterns in rat liver.
The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of a 6-month dietary vitamin E (VE) deficiency on DNA methylation and gene expression in rat liver. Two enzymes, 5-α-steroid reductase type 1 (SRD5A1) and the regulatory subunit of γ-glutamylcysteinyl synthetase (GCLM), which are differentially expressed on the mRNA level, were analysed for promoter methylation in putative cytosine-phosp...
متن کاملDoes Vitamin C Deficiency Affect Cognitive Development and Function?
Vitamin C is a pivotal antioxidant in the brain and has been reported to have numerous functions, including reactive oxygen species scavenging, neuromodulation, and involvement in angiogenesis. Absence of vitamin C in the brain has been shown to be detrimental to survival in newborn SVCT2(-/-) mice and perinatal deficiency have shown to reduce hippocampal volume and neuron number and cause decr...
متن کاملChordal cutting does not adversely affect left ventricle contractile function.
BACKGROUND Severing a limited number of second-order chordae to the anterior leaflet can improve ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR). Some concerns have been raised regarding possible influence on regional and global left ventricle (LV) function. We evaluated changes in cardiac function in 5 normal sheep with cutting of pre-instrumented chords in the beating heart to maintain constant load. ME...
متن کاملTheophylline toxicokinetics in premature newborns.
BACKGROUND While cytochrome P4501A2 is the primary pathway for theophylline (aminophylline ethylenediamine) metabolism in adults, it is developmentally immature in the newborn. OBJECTIVE To report the developmental differences in theophylline toxicokinetics of neonates. DESIGN Case series. Three premature neonates received inadvertent intravenous overdoses of theophylline for apnea of prema...
