This study investigated the host response to a polymicrobial pulpal infection consisting of Streptococcus anginosus and Enterococcus faecalis, bacteria commonly implicated in dental abscesses and endodontic failure, using a validated ex vivo rat tooth model. Tooth slices were inoculated with planktonic cultures of S. anginosus or E. faecalis alone or in co-culture at ratios of 50:50 and 90:10 S...

Objective(s): Vitamin E may have beneficial effects on oxidative stress and Aβ-associated reactive oxygen species production in Alzheimer’s disease. But, the exact role of vitamin E as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis still needs to be studied. Hence, we examined the therapeutic effects of vitamin E on the density of congophilic amyloid plaques and neur...

Freshwater (FW)-adapted tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) were treated with estradiol (E(2)) for 4 days to stimulate protein synthesis and sampled at 0, 4, and 24 h after exposure to 50% seawater (SW). E(2) increased circulating vitellogenin (VTG) levels in large amounts, indicative of unusually high rates of hepatic protein synthesis. E(2) treatment prevented the recovery of plasma osmolality ...

Both aging and age-associated neurodegenerative diseases are related with various degrees of behavioral impairments, and among the prime candidates responsible for producing the neuronal changes mediating these behavioral deficits, appear to be free radicals and the oxidative agents which they generate. Free radicals such as vit. E may be important factors in maintaining neuronal integrity and ...
