Does endothelin-1-induced release of thromboxane A2 increase the vasoconstrictor effect of endothelin-1 in postischemic reperfused rat hearts?
ET-1-induced release of TXA2 does not significantly contribute to the vasoconstrictor effect of ET-1 in nonischemic hearts but can increase the vasoconstrictor effect of ET-1 in postischemic reperfused hearts.
Lithium can inhibit the proliferation of human esophageal cancer cell line Eca-109 by inducing a G(2)/M cell cycle arrest, which is mainly mediated through the inhibition of lithium-sensitive molecule, GSK-3beta, and reduction of cyclin B1 expression.
