Mechanisms of cardiovascular effects of oleanolic acid and related synthetic oleanane derivatives : an experimental study.
(2014)Introduction Despite the various conventional treatments that are available to treat hypertension, this disease continues to be globally responsible for approximately 9.4 million deaths each year. The high mortality can ... -

The possible implication of selected Fusarium Mycotoxins in the aetiology of brain cancer.
(2004)The central nervous system is a potential site of action for the Fusarium mycotoxin Fumonisin B1 (FB1), and is exemplified in horses by the disease equine leukoencephalomalacia. Structurally resembling sphingoid bases, FB1 ... -
The role of angiotensin ll and oxidative stress in the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
(2011)Oxidative stress resulting from an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants is considered to be an important etiological factor in the development and maintenance of hypertension. Angiotensin II (Ang II) has been ... -
The role of antioxidants in atherogenesis and salt-sensitive hypertension.

Syzygium aromaticum-derived triterpenes modulate intestinal glucose handling in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
(2014)Polyphagia in diabetes mellitus ascribed to elevated plasma ghrelin concentrations is associated with prolonged postprandial hyperglycaemia due to increased activities of intestinal carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes and ... -
The synthesis of xanthone derivatives and their enzymatic conversion and inhibition of aflatoxin biosynthesis.
(1996)The biosynthesis of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has been the subject of conflicting speculation and numerous reviews. The currently accepted scheme for the aflatoxin pathway is based on data obtained from feeding studies using ... -
Transdermal delivery of insulin and Syzygium aromaticum-derived oleanolic acid by dermal patches in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats : effects on some selected metabolic parameters.
(2014)The tight glycaemic control required to attenuate chronic complications in type 1 diabetes mellitus often requires numerous daily injections of bolus insulin. Typically insulin is administered by subcutaneous needle ... -
The value of morphological analysis in duodenal ulcer therapy
(1994)This study was designed to examine two premises: that the morphological "severity" of duodenal ulcers (DU) may influence the incidence of drug mediated healing and the morphological "quality" of healing after curative ...
