Nanocarriers with positive surface charges are known for their toxicity which has limited their clinical appli- cations. The mechanism underlying their toxicity, such as the induction of inflammatory response, remains...
Aim: To examine if steroid-like compounds found in many Chinese medicinal products conventionally used for the promotion of blood circulation may act as active components via the same molecular mechanism triggered by...
Aim: To determine whether ginsenosides with various sugar attachments may act as active components responsible for the cardiac therapeutic effects of ginseng and sanqi (the roots of Panax ginseng and Panax notogins...
To investigate the effect of acute insulin administration on the subcellular localization of Na^+/K^+-ATPase isoforms in cardiac muscle of healthy and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Membrane fractio...
Arsenic-contaminated drinking water is a public health problem in countries such as Taiwan, Bangladesh, United States, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile. The chronic ingestion of arsenic-contaminated drinking water increas...
