Modulation of p21 Human Tumor Suppressor Gene Expression By Zinc Status In Human Hepatoblastoma And Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
(2007-05-01)
The transcriptional regulation of p21 gene in both human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells and normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells in response to different zinc status has been examined. In both zinc deficient (ZD) ...
THE INFLUENCE OF ZINC STATUS ON AKT SIGNALING PATHWAY IN HUMAN NORMAL PROSTATE EPITHELIAL CELLS AND HUMAN MALIGNANT PROSTATE CELLS
(2007-06-05)
Akt is known for promoting tumorigenesis through cellular proliferation. Supra-physiologic levels of zinc has been shown to stimulate the phosphorylation of Akt (p-Akt), which is frequently detectable in prostate tumors. ...
Biofilm formation by Escherichia coli O157:H7
(2007-12-14)
Escherichia coli O157:H7 from cattle was evaluated for its ability to produce biofilm on food contact surfaces and quorum sensing signals in various raw meat, raw poultry, and produce broths. Generally, the strain was ...
Enhancing the availability of natural antioxidants in wheat-based food ingredients and food products through improved post-harvest treatments and processing conditions
(2007-04-20)
Wheat grain has significant antioxidant contents concentrated in the bran fraction, most of which may not be bioavailable in humans because they are not released from matrix materials during digestion. The present study ...
