Concerns regarding resistance to self-proteins.
نویسنده
چکیده
In their review ‘Arming the enemy: the evolution of resistance to self-proteins’, Bell & Gouyon (2003) present an interesting perspective. They suggest that the introduction of cationic antimicrobial peptide antibiotics into general (clinical) use ‘may provoke the evolution of resistance to our own defence proteins and thus compromise our natural defences against infection’. I feel it is very appropriate to raise this argument, but would like to introduce another perspective to this discussion.

متن کاملEffect of Eight Weeks of Resistance Training on Myostatin and Folistatin Proteins Content in Gastrocnemius Muscle Tissue of Elderly Rats
Introduction: Myostatin and follistatin proteins are key proteins in the regulation of muscle atrophy and hypertrophy. Aging and sarcopenia can lead to disruption of cellular mechanisms and the activity of these proteins. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance training on myostatin and folistatin proteins content in Gastrocnemius muscl...

متن کاملPreempting Performance Challenges: The Effects of Inoculation Messaging on Attacks to Task Self-Efficacy
Although inoculation messages have been shown to be effective for inducing resistance to counter-attitudinal attacks, researchers have devoted relatively little attention toward studying the way in which inoculation theory principles might support challenges to psychological phenomena other than attitudes (e.g., self-efficacy). Prior to completing a physical (i.e., balance) task, undergraduates...
