POTENTIAL PROPHYLACTIC EFFECT OF CHEMICAL CHAPERONES FOR ALLEVIATION OF ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM STRESS IN EXPERIMENTAL DIABETIC CATARACT

Potential prophylactic effect of chemical chaperones for alleviation of endoplasmic reticulum stress in experimental diabetic cataract

Abstract Background Imbalance between protein synthesis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) capacity to modify and fold proteins lead to the accumulation of unfolded proteins resulting in ER stress and apoptosis.Chaperones are major defense molecules assisting in protein folding, transport, and cellular signaling.ER stress plays a major role in the path

Multistage Bilevel Planning Model of Energy Storage System in Urban Power Grid Considering Network Reconfiguration

The large-scale integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and the rapid development of loads cause frequent transmission congestion in the urban power grid (UPG).Transmission system operators usually perform the high-voltage distribution network (HVDN) reconfiguration to mitigate the transmission congestion.However, as the loads and RESs chang

Sexual cycle of cats and non-invasive diagnostic methods

Mostly all feral cats are listed in the IUCN International Red Book.This fact is caused by the negative impact of civilization on the ecosystem, including fauna.This trend applies equally to feral cats from the family Felidae (tigers, jaguars, leopards, Teething Wafers snow leopards) and the family Felinae (caracal, serval, ocelot, etc.).The low po
