Chidamide Suppresses the Growth of Cholangiocarcinoma by Inhibiting HDAC3 and Promoting FOXO1 Acetylation by Yongpan Li, Jujia Zheng, Qiang Huo, Zhongchao Chen, Jun Chen, Xiangwei Xu

“…Additionally, CDM inhibited tumor growth in vivo via HDAC3 downregulation and FOXO1 acetylation induction. Overall, this study reveals that CDM can exhibit antitumor effects against CCA by promoting HDAC3-mediated FOXO1 acetylation, thus identifying a new therapeutic avenue for the treatment of CCA.…”

Correlations between Endothelial Functions and ROS Detection in Diabetic Microvascular Wall: Early and Late Ascorbic Acid Supplementation by Pattarin Sridulyakul, Natchaya Wongeak-in, Suthiluk Patumraj

“…The correlation between endothelial function and reactive oxygen species detecting from diabetic microvascular wall and the antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid (AA) during early and late phases of diabetic induction were determined. Male Spraque-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: control, diabetes rats (DM, using iv.injection of 55 mg/kg BW streptozotocin, (STZ)), and two groups of DM rats treated with AA (1 g/L, (STZ)) starting on day 2 (DM + AAday2) and week 6th (DM + AA6wk). …”
