Age-related dysfunction of the central auditory system, also known as presbycusis, can affect speech perception and sound localization. Understanding pathogenesis presbycusis will help to develop novel approaches prevent or treat this disease. In study, mechanisms were investigated using a mimetic aging rat model induced by chronic injection D-galactose (D-Gal). We showed that malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) activity was reduced in cortex natural...

Background Aberrant methylation of DNA plays an important role in the pathogenesis nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In current study, we aimed to integrate three cohorts profile datasets identify abnormally methylated-differentially expressed genes and pathways associated with NPC. Methods Data gene expression microarrays (GSE53819, GSE412452) (GSE52068) obtained from GEO database. Aberrantly methylated differentially (DEGs) were by GEO2R. The David database was utilized perform enrichment...

Folate plays a pivotal role in DNA synthesis, repair, methylation and homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism. Therefore, alterations the folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism may lead to abnormal proliferation, increases of tumor/neoplasia vein thrombosis/cardiovascular risk. The serine hydroxymethyhransferase (SHMT), methionine synthase (MS), reductase (MTRR) cystathionine beta (CBS) regulate key reactions folate Hcy we investigated whether genetic variants SHMT, MS, MTRR CBS gene can affect plasma...
