    Author : Kyriaki Gerontaki; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this project cancer was viewed as a metabolic disorder. The study focused on the effect of synthetic muscone on PANC-1 cells. Synthetic muscone is a ketone. Some cancers lack the potential to metabolise ketone bodies, mainly due to mitochondrial dysfunction. READ MORE

  4. 3. Nox inhibitors : A potential future medicine for ischemia stroke

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för hälsa och lärande

    Author : Charlotte Jackson; [2018]
    Keywords : NOX inhibitors; reactive oxygen species; ROS; ischemia stroke;

    Abstract : This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of novel small molecule NOX inhibitors after induction of an ischemic stroke model on Neuroblastoma cells (NB69). Previous findings show that high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been identified for playing a role in causing inflammation, cellular damage and apoptosis in many cardiovascular diseases.
