Cerebral Epiphyseal Proteins and Melatonin Modulate the Hepatic and Renal Antioxidant Defense of Rats by Vijay K. Bharti, R. S. Srivastava, P. Subramaian, D. Warren Spence, S. R. Pandi-Perumal, Gregory M. Brown

“…Buffalo epiphyseal proteins significantly (P<.05) increased hepatic lipid peroxidation (LPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), reduced glutathione (GSH), and renal LPO, catalase (CAT), GR, GSH, GPx levels as compared to control animals. Similarly, MEL treatment significantly (P<.05) up-regulated hepatic SOD and GPx activity, whereas CAT, GR, GPx, and GSH levels in renal tissues were increased while SOD and LPO remained unaffected. …”

Renal pressure‐flow relationship and renin activation in a porcine model comparing unilateral and bilateral renal artery stenosis by Benny Drieghe, Gunther vanLoon, Sabrina Stuyvaert, Marc L. De Buyzere, Thierry Bové, Tine De Backer

“…The RI decreased already for minimal changes in Pd/Pa ratio. In an animal model of unilateral graded RAS in the presence of a significant contralateral stenosis, a 25% decrease in perfusion pressure results in a significant decrease in distal renal flow, causing a more pronounced upregulation of renin secretion when compared to a model of graded unilateral RAS without contralateral significant RAS.…”

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Deficiency in an Exon 3 Deletion Mouse Model Promotes Hematopoietic Stem Cell Proliferation and Impacts Endosteal Niche Cells by Zeenath Unnisa, Kameshwar P. Singh, Ellen C. Henry, Catherine L. Donegan, John A. Bennett, Thomas A. Gasiewicz

“…We examined BM and niche cells harvested from 8-week-old AHR null-allele (KO) mice in which exon 3 was deleted in the Ahr gene and compared these data to cells from B6 control mice; young and old (10 months) animals were also compared. We report changes in HSCs and peripheral blood cells in mice lacking AHR. …”
