The Magnuson-Stevens Act was amended in 1996 to require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service, or NOAA Fisheries, and regional fishery management councils to describe, identify, protect, and enhance essential fish habitats "to the extent practicable".
We next determined whether blocking DR6 by anti-DR6 antagonist monoclonal antibody 5D10, as described previously, protected motor neurons from death using three methods: growth factor removal, sodium arsenite to induce mitochondrial oxidative stress and astrocyte (SOD1G93A) induced cytotoxicity in motor neuron/astrocyte co-cultures.
The psychiatrist confirmed our suspicions and prescribed a low dose of lithium, which would, as he described it, protect me from overloading my "circuit board".
Uniquely, the KD is the only treatment described that protects against both convulsive and non-convulsive (absence) seizures in rats.
Furthermore, UCP-2 has been described to protect hypothalamic cells from inflammation damage induced by TNF alpha [31].
Originally, HLA-G was described to protect the fetus against the maternal immune system [ 42].
MAbs to ricin have been described that protect mice against a lethal challenge with ricin toxin (72).
The GST enzymes, GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1, are described to protect cells and organs from oxidative stress by conjugation of glutathione [ 46].
This protein has been described to protect the endothelium against oxidative stress related to peroxynitrite in a rat model of diquat intoxication, which may also be the case in septic shock [ 10- 12].
GLP1 was first described to protect central neurons against excitotoxicity [ 33, 34] but later also to have neuroprotective properties in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases [ 9].
