Effect of Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide and Polysulfide Donors on Insulin Sensitivity of the Adipose Tissue.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) and inorganic polysulfides are important signaling molecules; however, little is known about their role in adipose tissue. We examined the effect of HS and polysulfides on insulin sensitivity of the adipose tissue in rats. Plasma glucose, insulin, non-esterified fatty acids, and glycerol were measured after administration of HS and the polysulfide donors, NaS and NaS, respectively.

Role of Hydrogen Sulfide and Polysulfides in the Regulation of Lipolysis in the Adipose Tissue: Possible Implications for the Pathogenesis of Metabolic Syndrome.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) and inorganic polysulfides are important signaling molecules; however, little is known about their role in the adipose tissue. We examined the effect of HS and polysulfides on adipose tissue lipolysis. HS and polysulfide production by mesenteric adipose tissue explants in rats was measured.

Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio helps predict the grade of glial tumor - a pilot study.

Unlabelled: Neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) is a recognized prognostic marker for renal, lung or colorectal carcinomas. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the preoperative value of NLCR might serve as a predictive marker for glial tumors' grading.

Methods: The retrospective analysis of NLCR was performed in neurosurgical patients treated for glial brain tumors.

Knowledge and attitude of Lublin universities students' toward the opportunity of becoming unrelated bone marrow donor.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) is a very important life-saving procedure to treat many disorders. In August 2014, there were more than 24.5 million donor registered in the Worldwide Bone Marrow Donor Register.
