## Abstract Obesity is associated with a chronic lowโgrade inflammation and increased macrophage infiltration in adipose tissue. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in adipose tissue remodeling and inflammatory responses in obesity. This study investigated whether macrophageโderived facto

## Abstract **Scope:** Capsaicin is a cancerโsuppressing agent. The aim of our study was to determine the effect of capsaicin on tumor invasion and migration; the possible mechanisms involved in this inhibition were investigated in human fibrosarcoma cells. **Methods and results:** We employed inv
## Abstract Peritubular smooth muscle cells (PSMC) from rat testis in primary serumโfree cultures unexpectedly undergo contraction and subsequent cell hypertrophy in response to the growth factor PDGFโBB, remaining stationary. The present study investigates the transduction pathways involved in the
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. The inhibitory effects of bergamottin, a cytochrome P450 inhibitor from Citrus paradis (grapefruit), on tumor invasion and migration and the possible mechanisms involved in this inhibition were inv
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) contributes to the malignant progression of human gliomas. We investigated the effect of HGF/SF on matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), expressions
