Cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction mediated by asymmetric dimethylarginine.
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to Cd increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by disrupting vascular homeostasis at the endothelium. The ...
Tight Junction Proteins and Signaling Pathways in Cancer and Inflammation: A Functional Crosstalk.
(
Frontiers Media
, 2019 , Article)
The ability of epithelial cells to organize through cell-cell adhesion into a functioning epithelium serves the purpose of a tight epithelial protective barrier. Contacts between adjacent cells are made up of tight junctions ...
Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis and Their Impact on Biochemical and Inflammatory Profiles in Cafeteria Diet Fed Sprague Dawley Rats
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
Gut microbiota plays a major role in regulating the host metabolism and immune system. However, the structure of microbiome population is altered constantly by diverse factors including diet and environment. In particular, ...
Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in Cafeteria Diet Fed Sprague Dawley Rats
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Diet plays a major role in the body physiology and metabolism. The quantity,
nature and stability of the macronutrients present in the diet have a major impact on the composition of gut microbiota. Gut microbiota plays a ...
Gut Microbiota and Health: Understanding the Role of Diet
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2019 , Article Review)
Microbiome now is considered as an organ within our system to regulate metabolism, cellular immune response and eventually maintain the health. Gut microbiota has been studied extensively in the recent past due to the ...
Cadmium Toxicity: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Tissue Injury
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2019 , Article Review)
Cadmium is a known environmental pollutant targeting various organs. Often implicated in cadmium toxicology is the formation of reactive oxygen species, overwhelming the free radical scavenging mechanisms and inducing ...
Cadmium: An Emerging Role in Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article Review)
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is widespread in the environment due to the substantial anthropogenic inputs from the agriculture and industrial sectors. The toxic impact of Cd adversely affects human health and ...
Chronic Cadmium Exposure Alters Cardiac Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Heart of Sprague-Dawley Rat
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of chronic cadmium exposure in modulating cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the heart of rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 15 ppm CdCl2 in drinking ...
RAS-mediated oncogenic signaling pathways in human malignancies
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article Review)
Abnormally activated RAS proteins are the main oncogenic driver that governs the functioning of major signaling
pathways involved in the initiation and development of human malignancies. Mutations in RAS genes and
or its ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Validation of GATA-3 Suppression for Induction of Adipogenesis and Improving Insulin Sensitivity
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Impaired adipogenesis is associated with the development of insulin resistance and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). GATA Binding Protein 3 (GATA3) is implicated in impaired adipogenesis and the onset of insulin ...
