[The effect of mitochondrial Ca 2+-transporting Ca 2+-binding glycoprotein on development of Ehrlich ascites

|March 1, 1990
Abstract:
Single administration of Ca2(+)-transporting-Ca2(+)-binding glycoprotein simultaneously with intraperitoneal inoculation of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells into mice led to a decrease in the animals weight growth by approximately 34% as compared with the animals which were not treated with the glycoprotein. The effect observed was clearly pronounced, especially within the first days after inoculation of Ehrlich ascites tumor. Lifetime of individual experimental animals was increased whereas that of the whole group remained unchanged.

01:46Electron Transport Chain: Complex I and II
The mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) is the main energy generation system in the eukaryotic cells. However, mitochondria also produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the large electron flow during oxidative phosphorylation. While Complex I is one of the primary sources of superoxide radicals, ROS production by Complex II is uncommon and may only be observed in cancer cells with mutated complexes.

01:28Amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
01:19Ascites
DefinitionAscites is the buildup of fluid inside the peritoneal cavity. It occurs when fluid moves out of the vascular system faster than the peritoneal lymphatics can remove it. This fluid shift is most commonly seen in liver cirrhosis but can also appear in several other systemic disorders.EtiologyCirrhosis remains the leading cause of ascites. Other conditions that can contribute include:Heart failureConstrictive pericarditisAbdominal cancersNephrotic syndromeSevere protein–calorie...
