Nitrate ingestion improves exercise performance; however, it has also been linked to adverse
health effects, except when consumed in the form of vegetables. The purpose of this study …

We studied combinatorial interactions of two phytochemicals, curcumin and silymarin, in
their action against cancer cell proliferation. Curcumin is the major component of the spice …

Serum levels of the acute-phase reactant, C-reactive protein (CRP), increase dramatically
during acute inflammatory episodes. CRP inhibits migration of neutrophils toward the …

Native C-reactive protein (CRP) is a planar pentamer of identical subunits expressed at
high serum levels during the acute phase of inflammation. At inflammatory sites, an isomeric …

Plasmalogens are a subclass of glycerophospholipids that are enriched in the plasma
membrane of many mammalian cells. The vinyl ether bond of plasmalogens renders them …

OBJECTIVE: Evidence is accumulating that compounds of plant origin (phytochemicals)
exert anti-cancer effects. The purpose of this study was to determine if resveratrol, …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is the classic acute phase reactant in humans, with serum levels
elevated up to 1000-fold after the onset of inflammation. CRP inhibits chemotaxis of …

In previous studies, we have shown that C-reactive protein (CRP) inhibits chemotaxis of
neutrophils to complement fragments in vitro. To evaluate the effect of CRP on C5a-induced …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is the classic acute phase reactant in man with serum levels elevated
up to 1,000-fold after the onset of inflammation. CRP inhibits chemotaxis of complement (…

Features of acute lung injury include neutrophil influx and increased vascular permeability
with resultant pulmonary edema. Inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in …
