Modulation Of Cardiac Inward-Rectifier K+ Current IK1 By Intracellular K+ And Extracellular K+
(2011-12-19)The inwardly-rectifying K+ current (IK1) is important for heart cell function because it sets the resting potential, influences cell excitability, and promotes repolarization of the action potential. My objective was to ... -
Modulation of cardiac membrane currents by phorbol esters.
(Dalhousie University, 1996) -
Modulation of cell proliferation in the goldfish retina following axotomy of optic nerve fibers.
(Dalhousie University, 1986) -
MODULATION OF ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM IN EXPERIMENTAL ENDOTOXEMIA
(2012-08-09)Impairment of the intestinal microcirculation (IMC) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Consequently, the protection of the IMC represents a pivotal therapeutic target in severe sepsis. The aim of this ... -
MODULATION OF ENDOTHELIAL ACTIVATION AND CEREBRAL ANGIOGENESIS BY TNF FAMILY LIGANDS AND RESVERATROL: AN IN VITRO STUDY
(2011-02-03)Vascular endothelial cell activation and apoptosis (programmed cell death) are critical in inflammation and angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine known ... -
MODULATION OF IMMUNE FUNCTION AND PROMOTION OF RESTORATIVE GENE EXPRESSION BY AF4 IN A MOUSE MODEL OF EXPERIMENTAL AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALOMYELITIS
(2014-02-25)The anti-inflammatory and restorative effects of the flavonoid-enriched fraction AF4 were examined in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Relative to EAE mice that received vehicle (water, 10 ... -
Modulation of ionotropic glutamate receptors in retinal neurons by the amino acid D-serine
(2011-03-30)D-Serine is regarded as an obligatory co-agonist required for the activation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs). In the retina D-serine and a second NMDAR coagonist, glycine, are present at similar concentration ... -
Modulation of L-type calcium(2+) current by free intracellular magnesium(2+) in guinea pig ventricular myocytes.
(Dalhousie University, 2001) -
Modulation of mast cell responses by prostaglandin E(2).
(Dalhousie University, 2002) -
MODULATION OF SEXUAL AND SLEEP FUNCTIONS BY ESTROGEN IN CASTRATED MALE RATS AS A MODEL FOR PROSTATE CANCER PATIENTS ON ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY
(2013-08-29)Advanced prostate cancer (PCa) patients are offered androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to control their cancer’s growth. ADT impairs sexual function and the sleep patterns of ADT patients. Since ADT deprives patients of ... -
Modulation of T cell-mediated responses by Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.
(Dalhousie University, 1999) -
Molecular Adaptations in Extremely Halophilic Protists
(2018-01-05)Halophiles, organisms adapted to hypersaline habitats, represent unique cases in which to study evolutionary and ecological processes. To overcome the high level of stress in these habitats and to keep cellular components ... -
Molecular analysis of encystment and diapause in Artemia: Gene expression and stress response.
(Dalhousie University, 2006) -
Molecular Characterization and Formation of Novel Reversible Boronic Acid Complexations
(2023-12-13)Boronic acids have an impact on various applications in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. Therefore, an understanding of their structure and reactivity is essential. Determining the pKa of novel synthesized boronic ... -
MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND THE IN VIVO ESTIMATION OF MUTATION RATE OF THE ALEUTIAN MINK DISEASE VIRUS ISOLATE FROM CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA
(2019-12-17)The sequence of 91.6% (4397 bp) of the genome of one Aleutian mink disease virus from Cape Breton (NS-CB) was determined. The comparison of the NS-CB with global strains revealed 10 hypervariable regions at the nucleotide ... -
