Pregnancy Hypertens. 2013 Apr;3(2):69. doi: 10.1016/j.preghy.2013.04.032. Epub 2013 Jun 06.

INTRODUCTION: The MTHFR is a key enzyme in the folate cycle involved in homocysteine remethylation. The T allele of MTHFR C677T polymorphism is associated with lower activity inhibiting the DNA methylation and protecting from oxidative stress.OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the...

Molding of hydrogel microstructures to create multiphenotype cell microarrays.

Analytical chemistry

Koh WG, Itle LJ, Pishko MV.
PMID: 14588018
Anal Chem. 2003 Nov 01;75(21):5783-9. doi: 10.1021/ac034773s.

The fabrication of mammalian cell-containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel microstructures on glass and silicon substrates is described. Using photoreaction injection molding in poly(dimethylsiloxane) microfluidic channels, three-dimensional hydrogel microstructures encapsulating cells (fibroblasts, hepatocytes, macrophage) were fabricated with cells uniformly distributed...

8H-Chromeno[2',3':4,5]imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline.

Acta crystallographica. Section E, Structure reports online

Acta Crystallogr Sect E Struct Rep Online. 2010 Feb 27;66:o710. doi: 10.1107/S1600536810006744.

The title compound, C(18)H(12)N(2)O, comprises two aromatic fragments, viz., imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline and benzene, linked by oxygen and methyl-ene bridges. Despite the absence of a common conjugative system within the mol-ecule, it adopts an essentially planar conformation with an r.m.s. deviation...

Encapsulation of a Concanavalin A/dendrimer glucose sensing assay within microporated poly (ethylene glycol) microspheres.

Biomed Opt Express. 2011 Apr 18;2(5):1243-57. doi: 10.1364/BOE.2.001243.

Proper management of diabetes requires the frequent measurement of a patient's blood glucose level. To create a long-term, minimally-invasive sensor that is sensitive to physiological concentrations of glucose a fluorescent glucose sensing assay using a competitive binding approach between...

Insulin activation of NADH ferricyanide reductase in human erythrocytes is mediated by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase: a comparative study in normal and diabetic states.

Redox report : communications in free radical research

Marques F, Crespo ME, Pantaleão O, Bicho M.
PMID: 27406671
Redox Rep. 1996 Dec;2(6):373-8. doi: 10.1080/13510002.1996.11747077.

We have previously reported that NADH ferricyanide reductase in human erythrocytes is stimulated by insulin. Hormone-stimulated activities are attenuated in the presence of glycolytic inhibitors like vanadate, indicating the involvement of glycolysis in the mechanism by which insulin stimulates...
