Nitric Oxide—An Important Biomolecule in Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer represents significant problem of the world. Reactive nitrogen species of which nitric oxide (NO) is important constituent is a free radical gas which is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS).NO inhibits DNA synthesis and can damage DNA directly by deamination. In this study, NO level was studied in normal, pre- and postoperative cases of breast carcinoma. For this blood samples from 60 breast carcinoma cases were taken along …

Role of Nitric Oxide Synthase in Platelets of Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is the leading problem of the world. Free radicals have unpaired electron which can be neutralised by human body for maintaining health, these free radicals are toxic, highly unstable and very reactive. Antioxidants and free radical scavengers protect cells from toxic effects in order to maintain redox state of the cell. Nitric oxide is one of the important free radicals synthesized from nitric oxide synthase. It has been …

Role of Transcription factor AP-1 in Breast carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is a major health problem of today. Transcription factor is nothing but protein that is needed for transcription. Activator protein-1 (AP-1) is a transcription factor of complex oncogene proteins (Jun and Fos). Fos and Jun family participate in many cellular processes which includes proliferation, differentiation and carcinogenesis. Therefore, this study has been designed to study level of transcription factor AP-1 in breast carcinoma. The study was carried on …

Lexical semantic activation in persons with Aphasia
Abstract: Lexical semantic activation (LSA) is defined as retrieval of the most appropriate word from the lexicon. LSA is accomplished through three steps, conceptual activation, lexical node activation and phoneme retrieval and can be tested through a variety of tasks including priming task. LSA is found to be defective in persons with aphasia; it can be manifested as storage deficit or access deficit. Storage deficit is a condition where there is …
