Physiological and cell ultrastructure disturbances in wheat seedlings generated by Chenopodium murale hairy root exudate
(Springer Wien, Wien, 2018)
Chenopodium murale L. is an invasive weed species significantly interfering with wheat crop. However, the complete nature of its allelopathic influence on crops is not yet fully understood. In the present study, the focus ...
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Antagonizes Cisplatin-Induced Cytotoxicity in Prostate Cancer (PC3) and Melanoma Cancer (A375) Cell Lines
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2017)
Increased circulating alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) correlates with cancer stage/aggressiveness, but its role in cancer biology is unclear. We revealed antagonistic effect of AAT to cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in prostate ...
Fingerprinting of the antioxidant status in Alyssum markgrafii shoots during nickel hyperaccumulation in vitro
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2018)
This study investigated the role of antioxidant system of Alyssum markgrafii, during long-term exposure to 0.5 or 1 mM NiCl2 x 6H(2)O in vitro. Applied methodology included sample preparation protocol which reduces oxidation ...
Oral administration of probiotic Lactobacillus paraplantarum BGCG11 attenuates diabetes-induced liver and kidney damage in rats
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the probiotic Lactobacillus paraplantarum BGCG11 on the regulatory pathways that underlie the defense responses of the liver and kidney in diabetic rats. Probiotic-treated ...
Identification of Phenolic Compounds from Seed Coats of Differently Colored European Varieties of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) and Characterization of Their Antioxidant and In Vitro Anticancer Activities
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2016)
To date little has been done on identification of major phenolic compounds responsible for anticancer and antioxidant properties of pea (Pisum sativum L.) seed coat extracts. In the present study, phenolic profile of the ...
Ascorbate as a key player in plant abiotic stress response and tolerance
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)
During their lifespan, plants are frequently exposed to adverse environmental conditions such as high solar irradiance, drought, heat, chilling, salinity, metal excess, and nutrient deficiency. The effects of these factors ...
Novel 1,3,4-thiadiazole-chalcone hybrids containing catechol moiety: synthesis, antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity and DNA interaction studies
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
Hybrid compounds that combine the 1,3,4-thiadiazole-containing catechol moiety with a chalcone motif were synthesized and examined for their antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity, and DNA-binding activity. A series of thirteen ...
Molecular diversity among natural populations of Lactobacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus plantarum/paraplantarum strains isolated from autochthonous dairy products
(Springer, New York, 2012)
The diversity of 87 Lactobacillus paracasei and Lactobacillus plantarum/paraplantarum strains, previously identified from different autochthonous dairy products, was investigated by phenotypic and genotypic approaches. The ...
Predictive genetic markers of coagulation, inflammation and apoptosis in Perthes disease-Serbian experience
(Springer, New York, 2015)
Perthes disease is one of the most common forms of pediatric femoral head osteonecrosis with an unknown etiology. Coagulation factors were the first genetic factors suspected to have a role in the pathogenesis of this ...
Use of Wilms Tumor 1 Gene Expression as a Reliable Marker for Prognosis and Minimal Residual Disease Monitoring in Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Normal Karyotype Patients
(CIG Media Group, Lp, Dallas, 2017)
The aim of the present study was to test the possibility for the usage of the WT1 (Wilms tumor 1) expression level as an additional biomarker for prognosis and minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in patients with ...
