Concern regarding accidental overexposure to radiation has been raised after the devastating
Tohuku earthquake and tsunami which initiated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in …

Since September 11, 2001, there has been the recognition of a plausible threat from acts of
terrorism, including radiological or nuclear attacks. A network of Centers for Medical …

A transposable element has been isolated from an unstable white mutation in Drosophila
mauritiana, a sibling species of Drosophila melanogaster. The unstable white-peach (wpch) …

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) reduce infarction of the myocardium after ischemia-reperfusion
injury to rodent and dog hearts mainly by opening sarcolemmal and mitochondrial …

Salen Mn complexes, including EUK-134, EUK-189 and a newer cyclized analog EUK-207,
are synthetic SOD/catalase mimetics that have beneficial effects in many models of oxidative …

Background and Purpose Brain parenchymal tissue metabolizes arachidonic acid (AA) via
the cytochrome P450 (P450) epoxygenase to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). EETs dilate …

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase products, such as 11,12‐epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET),
stimulate endothelial cell proliferation. We set out to identify the signal transduction …

Photobiomodulation with near infrared light (NIR) provides cellular protection in various
disease models. Previously, infrared light emitted by a low-energy laser has been shown to …

Hypoxia causes localized pulmonary arterial (PA) constriction to divert blood flow to optimally
ventilated regions of the lung. The biochemical mechanisms for this have remained elusive…

PURPOSE: To find the mitigators of pneumonitis induced by moderate doses of thoracic
radiation (10–15 Gy). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Unanesthetized WAG/RijCmcr female rats …
