Sowohl Adipositas als auch die Suszeptibilit{\"a}t gegen{\"u}ber Diabetes sind zu einem erheblichen Teil genetisch determiniert. Die relevanten Risikogene, deren Interaktion mit der Umwelt, insbesondere mit Bestandteilen der Nahrung, und die Pathomechanismen, die zur Insulinresistenz und Diabetes f{\"u}hren, sind nicht vollst{\"a}ndig aufgekl{\"a}rt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollte durch Genexpressionsanalysen des weißen Fettgewebes (WAT) und der Langerhansschen Inseln die Entstehung und Progression von Adipositas und Typ-2-Diabetes untersucht werden, um relevante Pathomechanismen und neue Kandidatengene zu identifizieren. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Di{\"a}t-Interventionsstudien mit NZO- und verwandten NZL-M{\"a}usen, zwei polygenen Mausmodellen f{\"u}r das humane metabolische Syndrom, durchgef{\"u}hrt. Eine kohlenhydrathaltige Hochfett-Di{\"a}t (HF: 14,6 \% Fettanteil) f{\"u}hrte in beiden Mausmodellen zu fr{\"u}her Adipositas, Insulinresistenz und Typ 2 Diabetes. Eine fettreduzierte Standarddi{\"a}t (SD: 3,3 \% Fettanteil), welche die Entstehung von Adipositas und Diabetes stark verz{\"o}gert, sowie eine diabetesprotektive kohlenhydratfreie Hochfett-Di{\"a}t (CHF: 30,2 \% Fettanteil) dienten als Kontrolldi{\"a}ten. Mit Hilfe der Microarray-Technologie wurden genomweite Expressionsprofile des WAT erstellt. Pankreatische Inseln wurden durch laserbasierte Mikropr{\"a}paration (Laser Capture Microdissection; LCM) isoliert und ebenfalls hinsichtlich ihres Expressionsprofils analysiert. Differenziell exprimierte Gene wurden durch Real-Time-PCR validiert. Im WAT der NZO-Maus bewirkte die HF-Di{\"a}t eine reduzierte Expression nukle{\"a}rer Gene der oxidativen Phosphorylierung und von lipogenen Enzymen. Dies deutet auf eine inad{\"a}quate Fettspeicherung und -verwertung in diesen Tieren hin. Die Reduktion in der Fettspeicherung und -oxidation ist spezifisch f{\"u}r das adip{\"o}se NZO-Modell und konnte bei der schlanken SJL Maus nicht beobachtet werden, was auf eine m{\"o}gliche Beteiligung an der Entstehung der Insulinresistenz hinweist. Zus{\"a}tzlich wurde best{\"a}tigt, dass die Expansion des Fettgewebes bei der adip{\"o}sen NZO-Maus eine zeitlich verz{\"o}gerte Infiltration von Makrophagen in das WAT und dort eine lokale Immunantwort ausl{\"o}st. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wurde die Methode der LCM etabliert und zur Gewinnung hochangereicherter RNA aus den Langerhansschen Inseln eingesetzt. In erstmalig durchgef{\"u}hrten genomweiten Expressionsanalysen wurde zu einem fr{\"u}hen Zeitpunkt in der Diabetesentwicklung der Einfluss einer diabetogenen HF-Di{\"a}t und einer diabetesprotektiven CHF-Di{\"a}t auf das Expressionsprofil von pankreatischen Inselzellen verglichen. Im Gegensatz zum WAT bewirkt die diabetogene HF-Di{\"a}t in Inselzellen einerseits, eine erh{\"o}hte Expression von nukle{\"a}ren Genen f{\"u}r die oxidative Phosphorylierung und andererseits von Genen, die mit Zellproliferation assoziiert sind. Zudem wurden 37 bereits annotierte Gene identifiziert, deren differenzielle Expression mit der Diabetesentwicklung korreliert. Das Peptidhormon Cholecystokinin (Cck, 11,8-fach erh{\"o}ht durch die HF) stellt eines der am st{\"a}rksten herauf regulierten Gene dar. Die hohe Anreicherung der Cck-mRNA in Inselzellen deutet auf eine bisher unbekannte Funktion des Hormons in der Regulation der Inselzellproliferation hin. Der Transkriptionsfaktor Mlxipl (ChREBP; 3,8-fach erniedrigt durch die HF) stellt in Langerhansschen Inseln eines der am st{\"a}rksten herunter regulierten Gene dar. Ferner wurde ChREBP, dessen Funktion als glucoseregulierter Transkriptionsfaktor f{\"u}r lipogene Enzyme bislang in der Leber, aber nicht in Inselzellen nachgewiesen werden konnte, erstmals immunhistochemisch in Inselzellen detektiert. Dies deutet auf eine neue, bisher unbekannte regulatorische Funktion von ChREBP im Glucosesensor-Mechanismus der Inselzellen hin. Eine durchgef{\"u}hrte Korrelation der mit der Diabetesentwicklung assoziierten, differenziell exprimierten Inselzellgene mit Genvarianten aus humanen genomweiten Assoziationsstudien f{\"u}r Typ-2-Diabetes (WTCCC, Broad-DGI-T2D-Studie) erm{\"o}glichte die Identifizierung von 24 neuartigen Diabetes-Kandidatengenen.

Focus of this work is the time of the last Glacial and the Holocene (the last ~100,000 years before present [in the following 100 kyr BP]). One important precondition for this kind of research is a good understanding of the present ecosystems in and around the lakes and of the sediment formation under modern climate conditions. Both studies therefore include investigations on the modern environment (including organisms, soils, rocks, lake water and sediments). A 90 m long sediment sequence was investigated from Lake Tswaing (north-eastern South Africa) using geochemical analyses. These investigations document alternating periods of high detrital input and low (especially autochthonous) organic matter content and periods of low detrital input, carbonatic or evaporitic sedimentation and high autochthonous organic matter content. These alternations are interpreted as changes between relatively humid and arid conditions, respectively. Before c. 75 kyr BP, they seem to follow changes in local insolation whereas afterwards they appear to be acyclic and are probably caused by changes in ocean circulation and/or in the mean position of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Today, these factors have main influence on precipitation in this area where rainfall occurs almost exclusively during austral summer. All modern organisms were analysed for their biomarker and bulk organic and compound-specific stable carbon isotope composition. The same investigations on sediments from the modern lake floor document the mixed input of the investigated individual organisms and reveal additional influences by methanotrophic bacteria. A comparison of modern sediment characteristics with those of sediments covering the time 14 to 2 kyr BP shows changes in the productivity of the lake and the surrounding vegetation which are best explained by changes in hydrology. More humid conditions are indicated for times older than 10 kyr BP and younger than 7.5 kyr BP, whereas arid conditions prevailed in between. These observations agree with the results from sediment composition and indications from other climate archives nearby. The second lake study deals with Lake Challa, a small, deep crater lake on the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. In this lake form mm-scale laminated sediments which were analyses with micro-XRF scanning for changes in the element composition. By comparing these results with investigations on thin sections, results from ongoing sediment trap studies, meteorological data, and investigations on the surrounding rocks and soils, I develop a model for seasonal variability in the limnology and sedimentation of Lake Challa. The lake appears to be stratified during the warm rain seasons (October - December and March - May) during which detrital material is delivered to the lake and carbonates precipitate. On the lake floor forms a dark lamina with high contents of Fe and Ti and high Ca/Al and low Mn/Fe ratios. Diatoms bloom during the cool and windy season (June - September) when mixing down to c. 60 m depth provides easily bio-available nutrients. Contemporaneously, Fe and Mn-oxides are precipitating which cause high Mn/Fe ratios in the light diatom-rich laminae of the sediments. Trends in the Mn/Fe ratio of the sediments are interpreted to reflect changes in the intensity or duration of seasonal mixing in Lake Challa. This interpretation is supported by parallel changes in the organic matter and biogenic silica content observed in the 22 m long profile recovered from Lake Challa. This covers the time of the last 25 kyr BP. It documents a transition around 16 kyr BP from relatively well-mixed conditions with high detrital input during glacial times to stronger stratified conditions which are probably related to increasing lake levels in Challa and generally more humid conditions in East Africa. Intensified mixing is recorded for the time of the Younger Dryas and the period between 11.4 and 10.7 kyr BP. For these periods, reduced intensity of the SW monsoon and intensified NE monsoon are reported from archives of the Indian-Asian Monsoon region, arguing for the latter as a probable source for wind mixing in Lake Challa. This connection is probably also responsible for contemporaneous events in the Mn/Fe ratios of the Lake Challa sediments and in other records of northern hemisphere monsoon intensity during the Holocene and underlines the close interaction of global low latitude atmospheric circulation.}, language = {en} } @misc{OPUS4-3083, title = {Renaissance Linguistics Archive (1.0)}, editor = {Tavoni, Mirko and Flood, John and Lardet, Pierre and Haßler, Gerda and Damis-Sch{\"a}fer, Christine and Van Hal, Toon}, isbn = {978-3-940793-99-7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-32068}, pages = {3605}, year = {2009}, abstract = {The bibliographic project 'Renaissance Linguistics Archive' (R.L.A.) aimed at establishing a comprehensive database of secondary sources covering the linguistics ideas developed by Renaissance scholars in Europe.

It is shown that precise mathematical formulations of problems are needed i) to find appropriate and, if possible, efficient algorithms to solve them, and ii) to determine the quality of the found approximate solutions. Furthermore, some means are introduced to gain insights on dynamic properties of metabolic networks either directly from the network structure or by additionally incorporating steady-state information. Finally, an approach to identify key reactions in a metabolic networks is introduced, which helps to develop simple yet useful kinetic models. The rise of novel techniques renders genome sequencing increasingly fast and cheap. In the near future, this will allow to analyze biological networks not only for species but also for individuals. Hence, automatic reconstruction of metabolic networks provides itself as a means for evaluating this huge amount of experimental data. A mathematical formulation as an optimization problem is presented, taking into account existing knowledge and experimental data as well as the probabilistic predictions of various bioinformatical methods. The reconstructed networks are optimized for having large connected components of high accuracy, hence avoiding fragmentation into small isolated subnetworks. The usefulness of this formalism is exemplified on the reconstruction of the sucrose biosynthesis pathway in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The problem is shown to be computationally demanding and therefore necessitates efficient approximation algorithms. The problem of minimal nutrient requirements for genome-scale metabolic networks is analyzed. Given a metabolic network and a set of target metabolites, the inverse scope problem has as it objective determining a minimal set of metabolites that have to be provided in order to produce the target metabolites. These target metabolites might stem from experimental measurements and therefore are known to be produced by the metabolic network under study, or are given as the desired end-products of a biotechological application. The inverse scope problem is shown to be computationally hard to solve. However, I assume that the complexity strongly depends on the number of directed cycles within the metabolic network. This might guide the development of efficient approximation algorithms. Assuming mass-action kinetics, chemical reaction network theory (CRNT) allows for eliciting conclusions about multistability directly from the structure of metabolic networks. Although CRNT is based on mass-action kinetics originally, it is shown how to incorporate further reaction schemes by emulating molecular enzyme mechanisms. CRNT is used to compare several models of the Calvin cycle, which differ in size and level of abstraction. Definite results are obtained for small models, but the available set of theorems and algorithms provided by CRNT can not be applied to larger models due to the computational limitations of the currently available implementations of the provided algorithms. Given the stoichiometry of a metabolic network together with steady-state fluxes and concentrations, structural kinetic modelling allows to analyze the dynamic behavior of the metabolic network, even if the explicit rate equations are not known. In particular, this sampling approach is used to study the stabilizing effects of allosteric regulation in a model of human erythrocytes. Furthermore, the reactions of that model can be ranked according to their impact on stability of the steady state. The most important reactions in that respect are identified as hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase, which are known to be highly regulated and almost irreversible. Kinetic modelling approaches using standard rate equations are compared and evaluated against reference models for erythrocytes and hepatocytes. The results from this simplified kinetic models can simulate acceptably the temporal behavior for small changes around a given steady state, but fail to capture important characteristics for larger changes. The aforementioned approach to rank reactions according to their influence on stability is used to identify a small number of key reactions. These reactions are modelled in detail, including knowledge about allosteric regulation, while all other reactions were still described by simplified reaction rates. These so-called hybrid models can capture the characteristics of the reference models significantly better than the simplified models alone.

F{\"u}r ein verbessertes Verst{\"a}ndnis {\"u}ber die Entwicklung des Erdmagnetfeldes in geologischer Vergangenheit ben{\"o}tigen wir Informationen {\"u}ber die Geometrie des gesamten Vektorfeldes, wof{\"u}r neben der Bestimmung der Feldrichtungen auch die Bestimmung der absoluten Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}t und des Alters notwendig ist. Insbesondere Vulkanite bieten die M{\"o}glichkeit, Daten {\"u}ber die Richtung und vor allem auch die Intensit{\"a}t des Erdmagnetfeldes zur Zeit ihrer Platznahme zu gewinnen. Bisweilen ist eine genaue Charakterisierung der Entwicklung des Erdmagnetfeldes in Zeit und Raum schwer m{\"o}glich, was sich in erster Linie auf den generellen Mangel an Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}tsdaten zur{\"u}ckf{\"u}hren l{\"a}sst. Ein Grund hierf{\"u}r ist, dass die meisten Methoden zur absoluten Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}tsbestimmung, auf Modifikationen der Thellier Methode basieren, welche nur auf magnetische Minerale im Einbereichs-Dom{\"a}nenzustand anwendbar ist und zudem hohe Ausschussraten liefert. Eine alternative Methode zur Bestimmung der absoluten Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}t ist die k{\"u}rzlich entwickelte „multispecimen parallel differential pTRM" (MS) Methode, welche im Vergleich zur Thellier Methode den Vorteil hat, dass sie theoretisch unabh{\"a}ngig ist vom Dom{\"a}nenzustand der magnetischen Minerale und somit auf alle Vulkanite anwendbar ist. Ein Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit lag darauf, neue Informationen {\"u}ber das Auftreten und gegebenfalls die globale G{\"u}ltigkeit von geomagnetischen Feldexkursionen zu gewinnen. Hierf{\"u}r wurden etwa 75 Lavafl{\"u}sse des Transmexikanischen Vulkang{\"u}rtels f{\"u}r pal{\"a}omagnetische Studien beprobt. Eine Korrelation der mittleren Pal{\"a}orichtungen von 56 mexikanischen Laven mit einer um Feldexkursionen erg{\"a}nzten geomagnetischen Polarit{\"a}tszeitskala, lieferte Hinweise auf 4 Exkursionen. Ein bedeutendes Ergebnis dieser Arbeit sind ann{\"a}hrend komplett inversen Richtungen zweier Laven der Brunhes Chron. Dies gibt einen Hinweis darauf, dass diese Exkursionen kurze Zeitintervalle inverser Polarit{\"a}t mit globaler G{\"u}ltigkeit repr{\"a}sentieren k{\"o}nnten. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit war, die neue MS Methode auf ihre Anwendbarkeit und Genauigkeit hin zu testen. Hierf{\"u}r wurden Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}tsexperimente an 11 historischen Laven aus Mexiko und Island durchgef{\"u}hrt. Ein Vergleich der Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}ten mit Daten von magnetischen Observatorien ergab, dass die MS Methode einen generellen Trend zur {\"U}bersch{\"a}tzung der Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}t aufweisst, welcher anhand von komplementierenden gesteinsmagnetischen Daten mit magnetischen Mineralen im Mehrbereichsteilchen-Zustand in Verbindung gebracht werden konnte. Diese Beobachtung liefert demnach einen ersten Beweis daf{\"u}r, dass die MS Methode m{\"o}glicherweise nicht wie urspr{\"u}nglich angenommen unabh{\"a}ngig vom Dom{\"a}nenzustand der Tr{\"a}germinerale ist. Im weiteren wurde eine Komplementierung der Richtungsdaten mexikanischer Laven durch absolute Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}tsbestimmungen angestrebt. Hierf{\"u}r wurde die MS Methode herangezogen und zum ersten Mal in großem Umfang auf Vulkanite mit Altern von bis zu 3,5 Millionen Jahre angewendet. Ein Vergleich mit Rekonstruktionen des Dipol-Momentes, welche auf den Daten der gegenw{\"a}rtigen globalen Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}tsdatanbasis basieren, ergaben, dass diese MS Daten mit hoher statistischer Wahrscheinlichkeit im Mittel etwa 30\% h{\"o}her sind. Die generell zu hohen Pal{\"a}onintensit{\"a}ten nach der MS Methode bekr{\"a}ftigen daher die Ergebnisse von historischen Laven dieser Arbeit, sowie anderer experimenteller Studien an synthetischen Proben, bei denen {\"U}bersch{\"a}tzungen von MS Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}ten von bis zu 30\% festgestellt wurden. Der Process, aus dem diese {\"U}bersch{\"a}tzung der Pal{\"a}ointensit{\"a}t resultiert ist eine Asymetrie des Entmagnetisierungs- und Remagnetisierungsprozesses heisst, dass ein effektives Entmagnetisieren w{\"a}hrend der Remagnetisierung im angelegten Laborfeld erfolgt.

A similar, albeit nonanthropogenic, situation occurred during the early Paleogene, when catastrophic release of carbon to the atmosphere triggered abrupt increase in global temperatures. The best documented of these events is the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ~55 Ma) when the magnitude of carbon addition to the oceans and atmosphere was similar to those expected for the future. This event initiated global warming, changes in hydrological cycles, biotic extinction and migrations. A recently proposed hypothesis concerning changes in marine ecosystems suggests that this global warming strongly influenced the shallow-water biosphere, triggering extinctions and turnover in the Larger Foraminifera (LF) community and the demise of corals. The successions from the Adriatic Carbonate Platform (SW Slovenia) represent an ideal location to test the hypothesis of a possible causal link between the PETM and evolution of shallow-water organisms because they record continuous sedimentation from the Late Paleocene to the Early Eocene and are characterized by a rich biota, especially LF, fundamental for detailed biostratigraphic studies. In order to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions during deposition, I focused on sedimentological analysis and paleoecological study of benthic assemblages. During the Late Paleocene-earliest Eocene, sedimentation occurred on a shallow-water carbonate ramp system characterized by enhanced nutrient levels. LF represent the common constituent of the benthic assemblages that thrived in this setting throughout the Late Paleocene to the Early Eocene. With detailed biostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic analyses documenting the most complete record to date available for the PETM event in a shallow-water marine environment, I correlated chemostratigraphically for the first time the evolution of LF with the δ¹³C curves. This correlation demonstrated that no major turnover in the LF communities occurred synchronous with the PETM; thus the evolution of LF was mainly controlled by endogenous biotic forces. The study of Late Thanetian metric-sized microbialite-coral mounds which developed in the middle part of the ramp, documented the first Cenozoic occurrence of microbially-cemented mounds. The development of these mounds, with temporary dominance of microbial communities over corals, suggest environmentally-triggered "phase shifts" related to frequent fluctuations of nutrient/turbidity levels during recurrent wet phases which preceding the extreme greenhouse conditions of the PETM. The paleoecological study of the coral community in the microbialites-coral mounds, the study of corals from Early Eocene platform from SW France, and a critical, extensive literature research of Late Paleocene - Early Eocene coral occurrences from the Tethys, the Atlantic, the Caribbean realms suggested that these corals types, even if not forming extensive reefs, are common in the biofacies as small isolated colonies, piles of rubble or small patch-reefs. These corals might have developed 'alternative' life strategies to cope with harsh conditions (high/fluctuating nutrients/turbidity, extreme temperatures, perturbation of aragonite saturation state) during the greenhouse times of the early Paleogene, representing a good fossil analogue to modern corals thriving close to their thresholds for survival. These results demonstrate the complexity of the biological responses to extreme conditions, not only in terms of temperature but also nutrient supply, physical disturbance and their temporal variability and oscillating character.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{ElSaadany2009, author = {El-Saadany, Mohamed Abdel Meged Marawan}, title = {Protective effect of dietary antioxidants and plant extracts on acute inflammation and hepatotoxicity in vitro}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-31585}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Dietary antioxidants are believed to play an important role in the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases associated with oxidative stress. Although there is a wide range of dietary antioxidants, the bulk of the research to date has been focused on the nutrient antioxidants vitamin C, E, and carotenoids. Certain relatively uncommon antioxidants such as lipoic acid (LA), and phenolic compounds such as (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG), and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have not been extensively investigated although they may exert greater antioxidant potency than that of carotenoids and vitamins. Extracts from selected plants and plant byproducts may represent rich sources for one or more of such antioxidants and therefore exhibit higher effects than a single antioxidant due to the synergistic effects produced between such antioxidants. However, in the last decade a number of epidemiological, animal and in vitro studies have suggested a protective and therapeutic potency of these antioxidants in a broad range of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, cataract and acute and chronic neurological disorders. Inflammation, the response of the host toward any infection or injury, plays a central role in the development of many chronic diseases. Several evidences demonstrated the rise of different types of cancer from sites of inflammation. This suggests that active oxygen species and some cytokines generated in the inflamed tissues can cause injury to DNA and ultimately lead to carcinogenesis. Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) is one of the most important environmental carcinogens, present in a variety of foods, alcoholic beverages, tobacco smoke and it can be synthesized endogenously. In addition to the liver it can induce carcinogenesis in other organs like kidney, trachea, lung, esophagus, fore stomach, and nasal cavity. Several epidemiological and laboratory studies indicate that nitroso compounds including DEN may induce hyperplasia and chronic inflammation which is closely associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite increasing evidence on the potential of antioxidants in modulating the etiology of chronic diseases, little is known about their role in inflammation and acute phase response (APR). Therefore the aim of the present work was to study the protective effect of water and solvent extracts of eight plant and plant byproducts including green tea, artichoke, spinach, broccoli, onion and eggplant, orange and potato peels as well as eight antioxidants agents including EC, EGC, ECG, EGCG, ascorbic acid (AA), acetylcysteine (NAC), α-LA, and alpha-tocopherol (α-TOC) toward acute inflammation induced by interleukin-6 (IL-6) and hepatotoxicity induced by DEN in vitro. The negative acute phase proteins (APP), transthyretin (TTR) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) were used as inflammatory biomarkers analyzed by ELISA, whereas neutral red assay was used for evaluating the cytotoxicity. All experiments were performed in vitro using human hepatocarcinoma cell line (HepG2). Additionally the antioxidant activity was measured by TEAC and FRAP assays, phenolic content was measured by Folin-Ciocalteu and characterized by HPLC. Moreover, the microheterogeneity of TTR was detected using immunoprecipitation assay combined with SELDI-TOF MS. Results of present study showed that HepG2 cells provide a simple, sensitive in vitro system for studying the regulation of the negative APP, TTR and RBP under free and inflammatory condition. IL-6, a potent proinflammatory cytokine, in a concentration of 25 ng/ml was able to reduce TTR and RBP secretion by approximately 50-60\% after 24h of incubation. With exception of broccoli and water extract of onion which showed pro-inflammatory effects in this study, all other plant extracts, at specific concentrations, were able to elevate TTR secretion in normal condition and even under treatment of IL-6 where the effect was quite lower. Green tea followed by artichoke and potato peel exhibited the highest elevation in TTR concentration which reached 1.1 and 2.5 folds of control in presence and absences of IL-6 respectively. In general Plant extracts were ordered according their anti-inflammatory potency as following: in water extracts; green tea > artichoke > potato peel > orange peel > spinach > eggplant peel, where in solvent extracts; green tea > artichoke > potato peel > spinach > eggplant peel > onion > orange peel. The antiinflammatory effect of water extracts of green tea, artichoke and orange peel were significantly higher than their corresponding solvent extracts whereas water extracts of eggplant-, potato peels and spinach showed lower effect than their solvent extracts. On the other hand α-LA followed by EGCG and ECG exhibited the highest elevation in TTR concentration compared to other antioxidants. The relation between the anti-inflammatory potential and antioxidants activity and phenolic content for the investigated substances was generally weak. This may suggest the involvement of other mechanisms than antioxidants properties for the observed effect. TTR secreted by HepG2 cells has a molecular structure quite similar to the purified standard and serum TTR in which all the three main variants are contained including native, S-cystinylated and Sglutathionylated TTR. Interestingly, a variant with molecular mass of 13453.8 + 8.3 Da has been detected only in TTR secreted by HepG2. Among all investigated antioxidants and plant extracts, six substances were able to elevate the native preferable TTR variant. The potency of these substances can be ordered as following α-LA > NAC > onion > AA > EGCG > green tea. A weak correlation between elevation on TTR and shifting to the native form was observed. Similar weak correlation has also been observed between antioxidants activity and elevation in native TTR. Although DEN was able to induce cell death in a concentration dependent manner, it requires considerably higher concentrations for its effects especially after 24h. This may be attributed to a lack in cytochrome P450 enzymes produced by HepG2. At selected concentrations some antioxidants and plant extracts significantly attenuate DEN cytotoxicity as following: spinach > α-LA > artichoke > orange peel > eggplant peel > α-TOC > onion > AA. Contrary all other substances especially green tea, broccoli, potato peel, and ECG stimulate DEN toxicity. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that selected antioxidants and plant extracts may attenuate the inflammatory process, not only by their antioxidants potency but also by other mechanisms which remain unclear. They may also play a vital role on stabilizing the tetramic structure of TTR and thereby prevent amyloidosis diseases. Lipoic acid represents in this study unique function against inflammation and hepatotoxicity. Despite the protective effect demonstrated by investigated substances, attention should also be given to the pro-oxidant and potential cytotoxic effects produced at higher concentrations.}, language = {en} } @article{GrovePutnam2009, author = {Grove, Kyle Wade and Putnam, Mike}, title = {Deriving pairedness in vP structure}, series = {Linguistics in Potsdam}, journal = {Linguistics in Potsdam}, number = {28}, issn = {1616-7392}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-32284}, pages = {187 -- 210}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Minimalist accounts lack a natural theory of markedness, whereas Optimality-Theoretical accounts fundamentally encode markedness.
