Mechanisms underlying hypoxia tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster: hairy as a metabolic switch.

15 Oct 2008 Hypoxia-induced cell injury has been related to multiple pathological conditions. In order to render hypoxia-sensitive cells and tissues resistant to low O2 environment, in this current study, we used Drosophila melanogaster as a model to dissect ... Read more...

Increased aerobic glycolysis through beta2 stimulation is a common mechanism involved in lactate formation during shock states.

29 Sep 2008 During septic shock, muscle produces lactate by way of an exaggerated NaK-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)-stimulated aerobic glycolysis associated with epinephrine stimulation possibly through beta2 adrenoreceptor involvement. It therefore seems ... Read more...

Screening of hypoxia-inducible genes in sporadic ALS.

29 Sep 2008 Genetic variations in two hypoxia-inducible angiogenic genes, VEGF and ANG, have been linked with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS). Common variations in these genes may reduce the levels or functioning of their products. VEGF and ANG ... Read more...
