Auhtors: Murray PJ, Wynn TA PMID: 21997792 PMCID: PMC3422549 DOI: 10.1038/nri3073 Abstract Macrophages are strategically located throughout the body tissues, where they ingest and process foreign materials, dead cells and debris and recruit additional macrophages in response to inflammatory signals. They are highly heterogeneous cells that can rapidly change their function in response to local [...]

Auhtors: Chequer FM, Dorta DJ, Oliveira DP DOI:10.5772/19872 Abstract Colorants (dyes and pigments) are important industrial chemicals. According to the technological nomenclature, pigments are colorants which are insoluble in the medium to which they are added, whereas dyes are soluble in the medium.

PMID: 21868679 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00921.2011 Abstract Low-volume high-intensity interval training (HIT) is emerging as a time-efficient exercise strategy for improving health and fitness. This form of exercise has not been tested in type 2 diabetes and thus we examined the effects [...]

Auhtors: Singh BN, Shankar S, Srivastava RK PMID: 21827739 PMCID: PMC4082721 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2011.07.093 Abstract An expanding body of preclinical evidence suggests EGCG, the major catechin found in green tea (Camellia sinensis), has the potential to impact a variety of human diseases. Apparently, EGCG functions as a powerful antioxidant, preventing oxidative damage in healthy cells, but [...]
