Antioxidant potential of biotransformed green tea catechin metabolites and their impact on peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Objective: Catechin absorption, bioavailability, and distribution in human tissue and excretion were low.Colonic bacteria degrade catechin and few studies suggest that biotransformed metabolites may increase or borsa shopping decrease biological activities.However, the antioxidant potential of biotransformed metabolites is still unexplored.Hence, i

The PDZ protein Canoe/AF-6 links Ras-MAPK, Notch and Wingless/Wnt signaling pathways by directly interacting with Ras, Notch and Dishevelled.

Over the past few years, it has become increasingly apparent that signal transduction pathways are not merely linear cascades; they are organized into complex signaling networks that require high levels of regulation to generate precise and unique cell responses.However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms by which signaling pathways cross-communi
