Patients with different inflammatory diseases have shown elevated levels of adiponectin, and it is speculated that the elevated adiponectin is a counteracting mechanism to protect from harmful effects of different diseases [ 43].
In contrast, the genetically engineered mice were protected from harmful side effects on blood sugar levels.
Along this, reports have also been postulated that CeO2 NPs of smaller sizes do not cause any adverse effect but can protect cells from harmful effects of radiation and oxidative stress, although this protection was cell type specific [ 20, 21].
To contribute toward national efforts to protect children from harmful effects of SHS, we initiated a cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) in Bangladesh to develop and evaluate a 'smoke-free homes' intervention to reduce children's exposure to SHS at home.
More importantly, the passive effects of smoking have been almost eliminated so that non-smokers are now protected from the harmful effects.
We tested whether long-lived DR flies are protected from the harmful effects of these compounds.
These data suggest that the adverse cardiovascular consequences of air pollution in patients with diabetes may be mediated, at least in part, by impaired function of the vascular endothelium, and that people with diabetes are an especially sensitive subpopulation that needs to be protected from the harmful effects of air pollution.
The shell protects microbial cells from harmful effects of acidic environment.
Moreover, stress granule formation transiently protects cytosolic RNAs from harmful effects during cell stress.
These results suggest that strict glucose control with early insulin treatment may protect β-cells from harmful effects of glucotoxicity.
Vitamin D binding protein is a member of the extracellular actin scavenger system that protects the body from harmful effects resulting from release of actin into circulation following tissue injury or cell death (Pike et al, 1997; Speeckaert et al, 2006), and it is involved in chemotaxis, macrophage activation, apoptosis and angiogenesis (Pike et al, 1997; Speeckaert et al, 2006).
