low glucose condition induces neuronal cell-death via intracellular mechanisms including mitogen-activated protein kinases (mapk) signaling pathways. it has been shown that low glucose medium decreases neuronal survival in cerebellar granule neurons (cgns). in this study, we have examined the activation of jnk, p38kinase and erk1/2 pathways in low glucose medium in cgns. the cgns were prepared ...

tuberculosis (tb) and tobacco use are two major alarming global health issues posing immense threats to human populations. mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtb) by activation of macrophages could induce the sequences of cells activation and releases of inflammatory cytokines such as cxcl-8, il-12 and tnf-α which in turn induces the immune system network. however no information is available on other ...

abstract background : pain is one of the main protests of inflammatory diseases, hence, understanding the mechanisms which involved in the induction and persistence of pain is essential. microglia is a contributing factor in the onset and maintenance of inflammation. increased microglial   activation increases the level of central pro-inflammatory cytokines and the development of central sensit...

introduction there is a growing interest in determining the concentration of various elements in food spices. in the present study, the instrumental neutron activation analysis (inaa) was employed to measure the trace elements in 11 commonly food spices consumed in tehran, iran. materials and methods the levels of k, mn, na, cl, v, br, al, and as were determined and their effects on human healt...
