Currently available therapeutic options for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, such as
dietary modification, oral hypoglycemics, and insulin, have limitations of their own. Many …

Endogenous factors, including hormones, growth factors and cytokines, play an important
role in the regulation of hepatic drug metabolizing enzyme expression in both physiological …

The effects of betaine or taurine on hepatotoxicity induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were
examined in adult male SD rats. Rats were provided with drinking water containing either 1…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: We previously reported that acute betaine treatment induced significant
changes in the hepatic glutathione and cysteine levels in mice and rats. The present …

Previous studies suggested that betaine intake might antagonize the induction of oxidative
stress-mediated acute liver injury through regulation of the sulfur–amino acid metabolism. In …

Decreased glutathione (GSH) levels and γ-glutamylcysteine ligase (GCL) activity have been
observed in diabetic patients, and insulin reportedly increases GSH synthesis via increased …

Alterations of hepatic glutathione level by betaine were observed previously. In this study
effects of betaine administration (1000mg/kg, ip) on S-amino acid metabolism in rats and mice …

The changes in amino acid concentrations and transsulfuration enzyme activities in liver
were investigated after 4-week fed on 23% casein diet (control group) and 5% casein diet …

A physiological signal-based emotion recognition system is reported. The system was
developed to operate as a user-independent system, based on physiological signal databases …

Nanometer-sized colloidal particles (nanoparticles) have been extensively used in biomedical
applications as a result of their many useful electronic, optical, and magnetic properties …
