Impairment of myocardial function after burn and smoke inhalation injury is characterized by an activation of the p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, myocardial neutrophil accumulation and increased nitric oxide production.
They concluded that the neurotoxicity of arsenite might be caused by an activation of p38 and c- Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which are involved in the apoptotic process.
This category was characterized by an activation of NLRP3 (originally denoted cryopyrin or CIAS1) that processes pro-IL-1 β into an active form, mature IL-1 β.
Neuroinflammation is characterized by an activation of microglial cells: proliferation, thickening and shortening of the cell processes.
These results suggest that the sympathetic nerve activation-induced increase of salivary IgA secretion is caused by an activation of α, β, or both receptors.
We investigated the hypothesis that the synaesthetic colour experience is accompanied by an activation of the human colour area (V4/V8) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
In both hemispheres condition A led to a significantly higher activation of V4/V8 than condition B. These findings support the hypothesis that the grapheme-induced colour perception in synaesthesia is caused by an activation of the colour areas of the human visual cortex.
During the path recovery process, there may be retransmission timeout (RTO) resulting in packets' retransmission followed by an activation of the slow start algorithm of congestion control.
These results suggested that the functions of the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation were somehow inhibited by the excess methionine, being compensated by an activation of substrate-level phosphorylation with ethanol production (Table 1).
This increase can only be partly explained by an activation of alternative pathways since the re-activation of the MAPK pathway seems to be fully established at day 3 that is 2 days later than the up-regulation of cyclin D1 could be observed.
Inhibitor studies further showed that increased cell viability by PACAP was mainly mediated by an activation of PKC in NPCs.
