Potyviruses (genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae) are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner and cause significant losses in many crops including bulbous ornamentals. Host range, symptoms, physical and biochemical properties of many potyviruses in bulbous ornamentals are reported, but, especially for viruses infecting ornamentals of minor economical importance, sequence data are still...

The complement system is part of the innate immune system and plays a role in regulating inflammation. Increased inflammation is engaged in the development of adult cardiometabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Adipose tissue not only produces complement but is also a potential target for complement activity. Obese adults and adults with c...

Recent studies suggest a crucial role played by mitochondria in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study was conducted to clarify the role of trimetazidine, a cellular antiischemic agent, on mitochondria isolated from rat liver subjected to 120-min normothermic ischemia followed by 30-min reperfusion. Rats were divided into groups, pretreated with different doses of trimetazi...
