Xenobiotic receptors are traditionally defined as xenobiotic chemical-sensing receptors,the activation of which transcriptionally regulates the expression of enzymes and transporters involved in the metabolism and dis...
In this experiment carried out on Caribbean chili pepper plants(Capsicum chinensis),the bio-insecticide azadirachtin in combination with an NPK fertilizer proved to have a greater lethal impact on the larvae of Aedes ...

In groundwater,deep soil layer,sediment,the widespread of xenobiotic organic contaminants(XOCs)have been leading to the concern of human health and eco-environment safety,which calls for a better understanding on the ...
This study demonstrates mathematical analysis of biodegradation processes of xenobiotic polymers. A model for microbial population is based on the fact that growth rate of microorgani...
Mutations in genes encoding key players in oncogenic signaling pathways trigger specific downstream gene expression profiles in the respective tumor cell populations.While regulation of genes related to cell growth,su...

Drug metabolism is an orchestrated process in which drugs are metabolized and disposed through a series of specialized enzymes and transporters.Alterations in the expression and/or activity of these enzymes and transp...
Microbes inhabiting the intestinal tract of humans represent a site for xenobiotic metabolism.The gut microbiome,the collection of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract,can alter the metabolic outcome of pharma...

Sepsis is an infection-induced systemic inflammatory syndrome.The immune response in sepsis is characterized by the activation of both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory pathways.When sepsis occurs,the expression a...
Microbial depolymerization processes of xenobiotic polymers are discussed. A mathematical model is formulated and inverse problems for a time factor and a molecular factor of a degradation rate are described. Experime...
