Elevated ceramide levels contribute to the age-associated decline in vascular endothelial nitric oxide : pharmacologic administration of lipoic acid partially restores function

Creator:

Smith, Anthony R.

Abstract:

The vascular endothelium is a single cell layer that lines the lumen of the entire vasculature. It is the site of synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a vasodilatory compound synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). NO causes intracellular calcium sequestration of the vascular smooth muscle cells, relaxing and dilating...

Immobilization of hen egg white lysozyme by the sole histidine residue to polystyrene beads through peptide spacers

Creator:

Wu, Yawen

Abstract:

Lysozyme is a natural antimicrobial agent that is effective against many food spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms by disintegrating their cell walls. Immobilization of lysozyme has attractive applications for use in the food industry: (1) The enzyme could be readily separated from treated foods and beverages and re-used while the foods...
