To evaluate the respective roles of halothane metabolism and hypoxia in rats with halothane hepatotoxicity, experiments were designed with special reference to blood gas. After pretreatment with phenobarbital (80 mg per kg., i.p.) for four consecutive days, rats were exposed to 1.0% halothane under
## Abstract Emerging evidence has suggested that podocytes undergo epithelialβmesenchymal transition (EMT) in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and integrinβlinked kinase (ILK) are involved in the progression of DN. However, the underlying mechanisms of EMT are not w
## Abstract The ubiquitously found Ξ²βamino acid taurine has several physiological functions, e.g. in bile acid formation, as an osmolyte by cell volume regulation, in the heart, in the retina, in the formation of __N__βchlorotaurine by reaction with hypochlorous acid in leucocytes, and possibly for
The exact process that leads to the eruption of autoimmune reactions against beta cells and the evolution of diabetes is not fully understood. Macrophages and T cells may launch an initial immune reaction against the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, provoking inflammation and destructive insulitis.
