In addition to the well-known cardiotonic effects,cardiac glycosides(CGs)produce potent anticancer effects with various molecular mechanisms.We previously show that ouabain induces autophagic cell death in human lung ...
The metabolic controlling of tissue hydration is the fundamental parameter determining cell functional activity and its dysfunction is the common consequence of any cell pathology, including aging. The aim of the pres...
The elucidation of the mechanism on the biological effects of weak chemical and physical factors on cells and organism is one of the modern problems in life sciences. According to the Receptor Theory of Prof. Bernard ...
Physiological effects of ouabain (Fig. 1A), a human endogenous hormone, have been intensively investigated nowadays.Recent studies demonstrate anticancer activity of ouabain in sensitization of apoptosis and suppressi...

Background Ouabain is a mammalian adrenocortical hormone that is involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension by inhibiting Na-K ATPase activity.It also participates in a variety of kinase-mediated signaling pathways ...
Background Ouabain and digoxin are important cardiac glycoside and related to many cardiovascular diseases.The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of sodium pump α-subunit expression in rats and comp...
