Journal ArticleDOI

Chitosan-mediated stimulation of macrophage function

TL;DR: The present investigation demonstrates that chitosan has an in vitro stimulatory effect on both macrophage nitric oxide (NO) production and chemotaxis and strengthens the hypothesis that in vivo experiments strengthen this hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impairment of circulating endothelial progenitors in Down syndrome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that infected progenitors with trisomy 21 have a more pronounced perturbation of immune response genes than infected euploid cells, and that their progenitor cells are more susceptible to hydroperoxide-induced oxidative stress and infection with Bartonella henselae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and functional changes in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) skeletal muscle after cadmium exposure

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that the ion induces a significant quantitative and qualitative deterioration, disrupting sarcomeric pattern and altering glycoprotein composition, that result in a significant reduction in swimming performance in teleost zebrafish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of four food dyes on development of three model species, Cucumis sativus, Artemia salina and Danio rerio: Assessment of potential risk for the environment

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the food dyes examined are far from being safe for the aquatic organisms as well as land organisms exposed during watering with contaminated water.
