The aim of the present study was to elucidate the pathogenic role of endogenous 5-HT in pancreatitis.Injections of cerulein at hourly intervals caused edematous pancreatitis in mice characterized by hyperenzymemia and histological alterations.While the cerulein-induced hyperenzymemia was attenuated in mice pretreated with p-CPA, a 5-HT depletor, it
Osteoporosis is a well-known extra-articular complication in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).The chronic corticosteroid treatment, the functional impairment associated with RA and the disease itself appear to be the most relevant determinants.Most of the previous studies involved postmenopausal women, in whom the estrogenic deficiency might amplify the n
Colloidal stability as well as physicochemical and rheological DECONGESTANT TEA properties are among the critical determinants of the sensory quality of beverages.The present study investigated the effects of lecithin, xanthan gum, propylene glycol alginate, and their combinations on the colloidal stability and physicochemical/rheological propertie
