Search results for apoptosis

“They found that exposure to 10 micromolar BBP induced considerable cellular disruption, increasing germ cell apoptosis, abnormalities in chromosome structure, and elevated levels of DNA damage throughout the reproductive tissues.”

“The receptor puts a double-whammy on cancer by sending signals that trigger cell death, or apoptosis, and shutting down a protein that causes inflammation, a precursor to cancer. [...]”

“00:10:43 - How mice and humans who have growth hormone receptor deficiencies have low circulating IGF-1 – as little as 10% of normal levels – and have reduced risk of diseases like cancer, diabetes, and age-related cognitive decline…”

“They destroy virus-infected and malignant cells by triggering apoptosis – a type of cellular self-destruct mechanism that rids the body of damaged or aged cells. CD4 T-cells are considered "helper" cells in that they assist other cells in the immune response.”

“Saturated fatty acid intake induces inflammation in the hypothalamus that can eventually lead to apoptosis of hypothalamic neurons and subsequent loss of the control of caloric intake and energy expenditure.”

“The mice that received the DAT exhibited lower levels of viral RNA and less epithelial damage and apoptosis in their lungs. They also experienced less weight loss and were less likely to die from their infection than control mice.”

“Body fat also alters hormone levels, which may increase the risk of developing hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast cancer. In addition, body fat secretes a wide array of pro-inflammatory substances that damage DNA and inhibit apoptosis.”

“Cytotoxic T cells play key roles in the body's immune response. They destroy malignant cells by triggering apoptosis – a type of cellular self-destruct mechanism that rids the body of damaged or aged cells. The authors of the study placed mice with cancer into one of two groups.”

“Four families of SPMs have been identified and include the resolvins, lipoxins, protectins, and maresins. These SPMs promote apoptosis, regulate leukocyte (white blood cell) activity, and reduce the production of proinflammatory mediators.”

“Exercise increases blood flow and exerts tremendous mechanical forces on circulating tumor cells, sensitizing them to apoptosis, a cellular self-destruct mechanism. The findings from this small study suggest that exercise reduces the number of circulating tumor cells in cancer survivors.”
