Ginger polysaccharide UGP1 suppressed human colon cancer growth via p53, Bax/Bcl-2, caspase-3 pathways and immunomodulation by Yanfang Qian, Chenying Shi, Chen Cheng, Dengwei Liao, Junping Liu, Gui-tang Chen

“…In this article, we aimed to illustrate the underlying mechanism of UGP1 exerted antitumor activities on colon cancer by using in vitro cell models and in vivo animal models. The results demonstrated that UGP1 could induce S-phase cell cycle arrest, up-regulate the expression of Bax and p53, down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2, and activate the downstream protein caspase-9 and caspase-3, which was related to intrinsic apoptosis pathway on HCT116 cells. …”

Haematological and Biochemical Studies on some Ruminants by LC Chuku, AA Uwakwe

“…Haematological studies of ruminant vertebrates (cow, sheep and goat) present one acceptable method of understanding the ecological biochemical and physiological relationship between lower and higher vertebrate animals like man. Haematological/Biochemical studies were carried out on blood from the vertebrate ruminants: Goat (Capra hircus-L), sheep (Ovis Aries dolrchra), cattle (Bos Taurus) and human (Homo sapiens) as control, indicated that; Electrophoretically goat blood revealed three different Hb polymorphic types: HbAA (45%), HbAS (50%) and HbSS (5%). …”
