P-171: Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors In Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is a disease which is defined by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Literatures show that VEGF by interaction with their receptors, Flt-1 (Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 or VEGFR-1) and Flk-1/KDR (fetal liver kinase/ kinase-insert domain receptor or VEGFR-2) is related to pathogenesis of endometriosis. The purpose of this study was to eval...
متن کاملEffect of thalidomide on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in a rat model of liver regeneration
Liver regeneration is an angiogenesis-associated phenomenon. The present study investigated the influence of thalidomide, an antiangiogenic agent, on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and liver regeneration after 70% partial hepatectomy (PH) in rats. PH was performed on 50 rats dosed with either thalidomide (100 mg/kg) or a vehicle (controls) by intragastric administration. S...
متن کاملInhibition of VEGF- and NO-dependent angiogenesis does not impair liver regeneration.
Angiogenesis occurs through a convergence of diverse signaling mechanisms with prominent pathways that include autocrine effects of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS)-derived NO and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, the redundant and distinct roles of NO and VEGF in angiogenesis remain incompletely defined. Here, we use the partial hepatectomy model in mice genetica...
متن کاملPlasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and its soluble receptor in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinical pathologic condition, which leads to inflammation events in hepatocytes. The objective of present study was to compare the plasma levels of VEGF and sVEGFR-1 as inflammation factors in overweight and obese children and adolescents with and without NAFLD. Materials and Methods: A total sample of 70 overweight and obese childre...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor and epidermal growth factor activity during later stages of rat liver regeneration upon interferon α-2b influence
INTRODUCTION Liver regeneration is a complex, highly coordinated process which can be disturbed by the impact of the anti-proliferative interferon α activity. In the model of partial hepatectomy (PH) in the rat the expression of HGF and EGF genes and their molecules' tissue concentrations were analyzed in the later stages of liver regeneration (48-120 h). MATERIAL AND METHODS 40 three-month-o...
