Normal adult rats absorbed and metabolized C¹⁴-labeled acetate
rapidly. The greatest percentage of the administered radioactivity
was recovered in the expired CO₂, however small amounts of radioactivity
were also found in the urine and feces. There were two rates
of C¹⁴O₂ elimination in normal adult rats. The small amount of...
Human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP/LL-37) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that is widely expressed by myeloid and epithelial cells at the human-environment interface. It possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial capacity against bacteria, fungi and viruses. In addition to its direct antimicrobial activity, CAMP/LL-37 also attracts and recruits monocytes, neutrophils and other...
