. 2006 Dec;
81(3):775-85.
PMID: 17135576
We examined the role of MCP-1, a potent chemotactic and activating factor for macrophages, in perfusion, inflammation, and skeletal muscle regeneration post-ischemic injury. MCP-1-/- or C57Bl/6J control mice [wild-type (WT)]...

Contreras-Shannon V, Ochoa O, Reyes-Reyna S, Sun D, Michalek J, Kuziel W, et al.
Am J Physiol Cell Physiol
. 2006 Oct;
292(2):C953-67.
PMID: 17020936
Chemokines recruit inflammatory cells to sites of injury, but the role of the CC chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) during regenerative processes following ischemia is poorly understood. We studied injury, inflammation,...

PMID: 16488443
Background: Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is important in macrophage recruitment and activation. However, the magnitude and temporal sequence of MCP-1 expression in relation to tissue injury and regeneration following ischemic...

PMID: 15574419
To compare kinetic properties of homologous isozymes of NADP+-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase, histidine-tagged forms of yeast mitochondrial (IDP1) and cytosolic (IDP2) enzymes were expressed and purified. The isozymes were found to...

PMID: 15001388
Three differentially compartmentalized isozymes of isocitrate dehydrogenase (mitochondrial IDP1, cytosolic IDP2, and peroxisomal IDP3) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalyze the NADP(+)-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to form alpha-ketoglutarate. These...
