Oxidative stress is associated with liver fibrosis and with hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation in vivo. However, it remains controversial whether oxidative stress contributes to HSC activation either directly or through a paracrine stimulation by damaged hepatocytes. A medium containing products

## Abstract Traditional herbal formulations, such as Juzenβtaihoβto (TJβ48), are used extensively in medical practice in Asia even though their mechanism of action remains elusive. This study tested a hypothesis that TJβ48 is protective against hepatocarcinogenesis by impeding Kupffer cellβinduced
Effects of antioxidants, resveratrol, quercetin, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the functions of cultured rat hepatic stellate cells and Kupffer cells were studied. These compounds dose-dependently suppressed serum-dependent proliferation of stellate cells as determined by [ 3 H]thymidine and 5-bromo
## Abstract The osteoporosis that occurs with aging is associated with reduced number and activity of osteoblastic cells. Aging, menopause, and osteoporosis are correlated with increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidant defense mechanisms. We previously demonstrated that oxidative stress in
## Abstract Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been recommended for the treatment of refractory cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Recent studies in our laboratory indicated that oxidative stress plays a key role in ATOβinduced cytotoxicity in human leukemia (HLβ60) cells. In the present investig
To clarify the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha on osteoblast functions in the presence of metal particles, two human osteoblast-like cell lines (MG-63 and SaOS-2) were cultured with TNF-alpha in the presence or absence of titanium particles in vitro. A combination of TNF-alpha and titanium
