Host invasion by Entamoeba histolytica, the pathogenic agent of amebiasis, can lead to the
development of amebic liver abscess (ALA). Due to the difficulty of exploring host and …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent mediator with diverse roles in regulating cellular functions and
signaling pathways. The NO synthase (NOS) enzyme family consists of three major isoforms …

The maintenance of host defense during pregnancy may depend on heightened innate
immunity. We evaluated the immune response of pregnant hamsters during early infection …

AIM: To investigate the link between chronic biliary inflammation and carcinogenesis using
hamster gallbladder epithelial cells. METHODS: Gallbladder epithelial cells were isolated …

The molecular mechanisms by which Entamoeba histolytica causes amebic liver abscess
(ALA) are still not fully understood. Amebic mechanisms of adherence and cytotoxic activity …

During early experimental amebic liver abscess in hamsters (EALAH), acute inflammation is
primarily responsible for tissue damage. However, during the late stages of this process, the …

In addition to its classic glycolytic role, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
(GAPDH) has been implicated in many activities unrelated to glycolysis, such as membrane …

The two current models of invasive amebiasis both hold that direct contact of toxic molecules
and amebas with tissue produces the necrotic areas characteristic of this disorder. Whereas …

El óxido nítrico (NO), una de las diez moléculas más pequeñas que existen, es un gas
importante como contaminante ambiental y un compuesto clave en los sistemas biológicos …

Entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of amoebic liver abscess (ALA), which course
with an uncontrolled inflammation and nitro-oxidative stresses, although it is well known that …
