Information to Users INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy.

During ATP production reactive oxygen species are generated that alter the intracellular redox state and activate apoptosis. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a well recognized component of the pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer.

Melanoma cells are able to adapt to the tumor microenvironment by using a variety of fuels that contribute to tumor growth and progression. In this review, the authors summarize the contribution of the lipid metabolic network in melanoma plasticity and aggressiveness, with a particular attention to specific lipid classes such as glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterols and eicosanoids.

  • Cardiovascular Disease Dyslipidemia | Non-Pharmacologic Treatment |
    Cardiovascular Disease Dyslipidemia: Non-Pharmacologic Treatment Mark C. Houston, M.D., M.S. ABAARM, FACP, FACN, FAHA, FASH INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States,1 coronary heart disease (CHD) and myocardial infarction being the leading causes of death.1 The five major risk factors for CHD – hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and obesity – account for 80% of the risk for CHD.1,2 Interventions, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic, can improve all of these risk factors and decrease the incidence of CVD and its consequences, such as 3-6 myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure and stroke. Recent guidelines by the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) recommend more aggressive control of serum lipids to reduce the incidence of CHD.7 Nutritional and dietary therapy, weight loss, exercise, and scientifically-proven nutritional supplementation should be used initially in appropriately selected patients to manage dyslipidemia. Hypertriglyceridemia, which is frequently due to obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus, deserves special attention.7 Pharmacologic therapy should be administered in those cases that are at high or very high-risk for CHD and those who do not respond to non-drug therapy. Many patients prefer non-drug therapies for many reasons including adverse effects of anti-lipid drugs, contraindications or allergic reactions to drugs, perceptions of adverse effects of drugs, or personal preference for natural or alternative therapies. A more aggressive integrative approach to the management of dyslipidemia is recommended to improve CHD outcomes, minimize adverse effects, and reduce health-care costs. NUTRITION AND EXERCISE Optimal nutrition and proper aerobic and resistance exercise form the cornerstone for the management of dyslipidemia.

  • Anatomical Classification Guidelines V2020 EPHMRA ANATOMICAL
    EPHMRA ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES 2020 Anatomical Classification Guidelines V2020 "The Anatomical Classification of Pharmaceutical Products has been developed and maintained by the European Pharmaceutical Marketing Research Association (EphMRA) and is therefore the intellectual property of this Association. EphMRA's Classification Committee prepares the guidelines for this classification system and takes care for new entries, changes and improvements in consultation with the product's manufacturer. The contents of the Anatomical Classification of Pharmaceutical Products remain the copyright to EphMRA. Permission for use need not be sought and no fee is required. We would appreciate, however, the acknowledgement of EphMRA Copyright in publications etc. Users of this classification system should keep in mind that Pharmaceutical markets can be segmented according to numerous criteria." © EphMRA 2020 Anatomical Classification Guidelines V2020 CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION A ALIMENTARY TRACT AND METABOLISM 1 B BLOOD AND BLOOD FORMING ORGANS 28 C CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM 35 D DERMATOLOGICALS 50 G GENITO-URINARY SYSTEM AND SEX HORMONES 57 H SYSTEMIC HORMONAL PREPARATIONS (EXCLUDING SEX HORMONES) 65 J GENERAL ANTI-INFECTIVES SYSTEMIC 69 K HOSPITAL SOLUTIONS 84 L ANTINEOPLASTIC AND IMMUNOMODULATING AGENTS 92 M MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM 102 N NERVOUS SYSTEM 107 P PARASITOLOGY 118 R RESPIRATORY SYSTEM 120 S SENSORY ORGANS 132 T DIAGNOSTIC AGENTS 139 V VARIOUS 141 Anatomical Classification Guidelines V2020 INTRODUCTION The Anatomical Classification was initiated in 1971 by EphMRA. It has been developed jointly by Intellus/PBIRG and EphMRA. It is a subjective method of grouping certain pharmaceutical products and does not represent any particular market, as would be the case with any other classification system.

Copyright American Diabetes Association, Inc., 2008 PPARβ/δ prevents NF-κB activation in adipocytes Objective: Chronic activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB in white adipose tissue leads to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are involved in the development of insulin resistance. It is presently unknown whether Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR)β/δ activation prevents inflammation in adipocytes. Research Design and Methods and Results: Firstly, we examined whether the PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 prevents LPS-induced cytokine production in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Treatment with GW501516 blocked LPS-induced IL-6 expression and secretion by adipocytes and the subsequent activation of the STAT3-SOCS3 pathway.

  • Role of PPAR and Its Agonist in Renal Diseases

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-α, a member of a large nuclear receptor superfamily, plays a major role in the regulation of lipid metabolism. Recently, PPARα activation has been shown to confer additional benefits on endothelial function, kidney function, and anti-inflammation, suggesting that PPARα agonists may be good candidates for treating acute renal failure. In clinical application, PPAR-α activators, such as hypolipidemic drugs in fibric acid class, were proven to have therapeutic effects on metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. This paper focuses on signaling pathways, ligand selectivity, and physio-pathological roles of PPARα in kidney diseases and the therapeutic utility of PPARα modulators in the treatment of diabetes and inflammation-induced nephropathy.
