Molecular Mechanisms of Adiponectin-Induced Attenuation of Mechanical Stretch-Mediated Vascular Remodeling by Crystal M. Ghantous (14571292)

“…To mimic hypertension, the rat portal vein (RPV) was mechanically stretched, and the protective effects of APN on mechanical stretch-induced vascular remodeling and the molecular mechanisms involved were examined by using 10 <i>μ</i>g/ml APN. Mechanically stretching the RPV significantly decreased APN protein expression after 24 hours and APN mRNA expression in a time-dependent manner in VSMCs. …”

Finding novel targets for the treatment and reversal of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity by Imran Ramzan (15430807)

Spectrofluorometric investigations on the solvent effects on the photocyclization reaction of diclofenac by Abdulilah Dawoud, Bani-Yaseen

“…The solvent effects on the photochemical conversion rate of the photosensitizing drug diclofenac (DCF) were investigated using steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The spectral information obtained for the photochemical reaction of DCF in a set of neat solvents demonstrates that the photoconversion reaction rate of DCF is not only medium polarity dependent but also hydrogen-bonding dependent. …”
