Does venous congestion induce mucosal apoptosis via tumor necrosis factor-alpha-mediated cell death in the rat small intestine?
The present results support the view that venous congestion and congestion followed by re-outflow induce mucosal apoptosis in the rat small intestine, and show that the apoptosis occurs partly via tumor necrosis factor-alpha-mediated cell death.
Elevated adiponectin levels in imatinib-treated CML patients provide a possible mechanism for improved glucose and lipid metabolism reported for some imatinib-treated patients.
