Abstract Background Metabolomics studies in cancer epidemiology have mostly focused on single metabolite-cancer site associations. Pan-cancer analyses may larger statistical power when identifying metabolites showing consistent associations across sites, while allowing the identification of site-specific Methods Data from seven cancer-specific case-control nested within European Prospective Inv...

Red blood cells (RBCs), as anucleated cells, have poor repair and biosynthetic mechanisms, suffering and accumulating oxidative lesions whenever oxidative stress develops. RBCs are particularly exposed to endogenous oxidative damage because of their specific role as oxygen carriers. However, as the most abundant blood cells, RBCs also play an important role in the oxidative status of the whole ...

INTRODUCTION Exposure to tobacco smoke is an extremely important risk factor determining the development of respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Passive exposure is common and often not realized by the exposed subjects. Markers of tobacco smoke exposure are nicotine metabolites, i.e. cotinine and trans-3'-hydroxycotinine. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to asses...

In animal species and humans, artesunate (AS) undergoes extensive and complex biotransformation to an active metabolite, dihydroartemisinin (DHA). The bioequivalence of two intravenous AS pharmaceutical products with 5% NaHCO3 (China Formulation) or 0.3 M PBS (WRAIR Formulation) was determined in rats in a twoformulation, two-period, and two-sequence crossover experimental design. Following sin...

Background & Aim: Policosanol is a component from main alcohol groups with long-chain that extracted from cane sugar. In the present research, the effect of policosanol was investigated on decrease of lipid metabolite levels in blood of hypercholesterolemia rats. Experimental: A number of 32 male Wistar rats race with average weight of 250 g was divided into four groups including negative cont...
