The Na+ - K+ ATPase is an enzyme responsible for the active transport of Na+ and K+ in most eukaryotic cells. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of Tachykinin neuropeptide, Neurokinin B (NKB) and...
The brain experiences structural, molecular and functional alterations during aging. In aging brain tissue, the oxidative stress increases due to decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes and increased oxidative stres...
Aging is the leading risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases and oxidative stress involved in the pathophysiology of these diseases. These changes increase during menopausal condition in females when the level of e...

OBJECTIVE To study the potential relationship between the expression of PPT-I, NK-1, NK2 and the development of breast cancer cells in bone marrow stroma and to provide evidence of potential molecular mechanisms of br...
AIM: Overexpression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by lung fibroblasts has been blamed for much of the tissue destruction associated with airway inflammation. It has been previously demonstrated that a tachykinin...
The expression of the types of tachykinin receptors in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons by means of Xenopus oocyte expressing system was studied. Poly(A) +RNAs were extracted from cat cervical and lumbar DRG. Tw...
