However, the role of ceramide in smoke-induced COPD is not yet well studied and it may be worthwhile to investigate whether the increase of ceramide content in lungs when exposed to cigarette smoke also has an impact on autophagy, and if the pathway plays a pathogenic role in COPD.
Similarly, proline content increased in plants when exposed to wide variety of environmental stresses and thus provided the plants protection against damage by reactive oxygen species (Aspinall and Paleg, 1981).
This study aimed to investigate the effects on PST content in Alexandrium tamarense when exposed to copepod grazing or the waterborne cues from copepods.
Since the results obtained showed that OA chondrocytes, unlike their normal counterparts, are unable to downregulate the GLUT-1 content and glucose transport when exposed to high glucose concentrations, the molecular mechanisms involved in GLUT-1 downregulation were investigated.
High Al content coatings showed minimum oxidation when exposed to 800 °C for 2 h and to 900 °C for 0.5 h in air.
As evident from the current results, a high Al content coating, x = 0.66, when exposed to such extreme conditions decomposes into cubic c-AlN and c-TiN-rich domains.
Considering the temperature, UV radiation and solid moisture content fluctuations of FGD gypsum when exposed to natural environment, the mercury release from FGD gypsum disposed outdoor might be significant.
Like LA716, the majority of the ILs showed increases in total antioxidant activity, flavonoid content and all enzymatic antioxidants when exposed to salt.
For example, an objective model might yield very poor quality estimates when exposed to new content or an encoder might yield very poor quality for some content types (e.g., fire, smoke, confetti, a wood parquet floor, fireworks, saturated red, long dissolves, a pinstripe shirt).
