Journal ArticleDOI
Glycosides from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni Possess Insulin-Mimetic and Antioxidant Activities in Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts.
Cecilia Prata,Laura Zambonin,Benedetta Rizzo,Tullia Maraldi,Cristina Angeloni,Francesco Vieceli Dalla Sega,Diana Fiorentini,Silvana Hrelia +7 more
TL;DR: The present work unravels the insulin-mimetic effect and the antioxidant property exerted by steviol glycosides, suggesting their potential beneficial role in the cotreatment of diabetes and in health maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traumatic Brain Injury and NADPH Oxidase: A Deep Relationship
TL;DR: Current evidence demonstrates that Nox is upregulated after TBI, suggesting Nox critical role in the onset and development of this pathology, and summarizes the current evidence about the role of Nox enzymes in the pathophysiology of TBI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antitumor Activity of Bis-Indole Derivatives
Aldo Andreani,Silvia Burnelli,Massimiliano Granaiola,Alberto Leoni,Alessandra Locatelli,Rita Morigi,Mirella Rambaldi,Lucilla Varoli,Laura Landi,Cecilia Prata,Michael V. Berridge,Carole Grasso,Heinz-Herbert Fiebig,Gerhard Kelter,Angelika Burger,Mark W. Kunkel +15 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that this approach to synthesis of compounds formed by two indole systems separated by a heterocycle was successful, since some of the compounds described are much more active than the numerous, so far prepared and tested 3-indolylmethylene-2-indolinones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific aquaporins facilitate Nox-produced hydrogen peroxide transport through plasma membrane in leukaemia cells.
Francesco Vieceli Dalla Sega,Laura Zambonin,Diana Fiorentini,Benedetta Rizzo,Cristiana Caliceti,Laura Landi,Silvana Hrelia,Cecilia Prata +7 more
TL;DR: Assessment of specific AQP isoforms' ability to channel Nox-produced H2O2 across the plasma membrane of leukaemia cells affecting downstream pathways linked to cell proliferation indicates that AQP8 is able to modulate H 2O2 transport through the plasma membranes affecting redox signalling linked toLeukaemia cell proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnesium: Biochemistry, Nutrition, Detection, and Social Impact of Diseases Linked to Its Deficiency.
TL;DR: Magnesium plays an important role in many physiological functions Habitually low intakes of magnesium and in general the deficiency of this micronutrient induce changes in biochemical pathways that can increase the risk of illness and, in particular, chronic degenerative diseases as mentioned in this paper.
