In this paper, data are presented which demonstrate that adenylate kinase and creatine kinase are oncodevelopmental enzymes in the rat prostate. The Dunning tumor (dorsal rat prostate) was used as a model system; four sublines of the tumor (R3327-H, R3327-AT, MAT Lu, and MAT LyLu) were studied. The tumor lines were maintained as solid tumors in syngeneic rats (Copenhagen) and as monolayers in t...

Mitochondria mediate diverse cellular functions including energy generation and ROS (reactive oxygen species) production and contribute to signal transduction. Mitochondria are also key regulators of cell viability and play a central role in necrotic and apoptotic cell death pathways induced by cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion injury. PKC (protein kinase C) ε plays a critical role in cardioprotect...

Introduction: Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent and consistently reproducible method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (OT) induced cardioprotection and its signaling pathways on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) in the anesthetized rats. Methods: Ei...

Creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzyme BB extracted from brains of rats reportedly undergoes modification at 37 degrees C, leaving an electrophoretic variant that accounts for most of the residual CK activity. This variant, called CK-BB', migrates on electrophoresis similarly to creatine kinase isoenzyme MB. Using electrophoresis and immunoinhibition with antiserum to creatine kinase isoenz...

In serum obtained from 28 women before, during, and after normal labor and delivery, creatine kinase activity was seen to be distinctly elevated immediately after labor and 24 h later, but had returned to normal six weeks later. In most cases the increase was due to the MM isoenzyme and was attributed to skeletal-muscle damage associated with labor. In 15 cases, the BB isoenzyme was observed, a...

patients with diabetes mellitus (dm), experience significant morbidity and mortality from microvascular retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. hyperglycemia can induce diabetic complications through multiple pathways. activation of protein kinase c (pkc) by hyperglycemia is one of the pathways which causes diabetic complications. effect of nifedipine (a calcium channel blocker), and polymyxin...

Purpose: To evaluate the coronary thrombolytic effect of atorvastatin plus percutaneous intervention (PCI) for treatment acute myocardial infarction.Methods: From April 2019 to October 2020, 88 patients with infarction who were treated in Zhangqiu District People's Hospital randomly assigned receive either PCI (conventional group) or (combined group). Myocardial injury index, TnI, and creatine ...
