Purpose : Apoptosis is active cell death which plays an important role in developing normal tissues.
Various conditions such as genetic defects, drugs, ischemia or infections are known to induce
apoptosis. We studied the effect of maternal infection on fetal brain development during pregnancy.
Methods : We treated 46 C3H pregnant mice with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) or phosphat-buffered
saline and observed the changes in apoptosis and... |

Purpose : Adriamycin is very important in cancer chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the drug shows
cumulative dose dependent cardiotoxicity. The precise mechanism of this remains unclear. It has
been shown that adriamycin induces programmed cell death or apoptosis in many tissues. But the
role of apoptosis in adriamycin induced cardiotoxicity is uncertain.
Methods : Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups of ten animals each. All... |
