Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a progressive chronic disorder, which affects people belonging to all age groups of the population. This disease is accompanied by a greatly increased risk of cardiovascular death. In the present study, the effects of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes on apex myocardium of the rat heart have been investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra. The cluster analysis has been applied to FTIR spectra to differentiate the diabetic samples from the normal controls. In addition, the protein secondary structures of diabetic and normal tissues were predicted by neural networks based on the amide I band of the FTIR spectra. The findings mainly suggest that 5 weeks of diabetes alters the lipid and protein profile of normal rat heart apex myocardium, which might have an important role in understanding the molecular mechanism of diabetes-related heart diseases.

Type I interferonopathies are a group of diseases characterized by excess type I interferon production. Here, we examined the intracellular signal transduction pathways of two interferonopathies, STING-associated vasculopathy with Onset in Infancy (SAVI) and Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) using in vitro cell line models. SAVI is characterized by constitutive STING activation. M155V and N154S gain-of-function mutations in STING can cause disease in humans. We expressed the M155V mutant STING in STING-knock...
A direct role of collagen glycation in bone fracture

Non-enzymatic glycation (NEG) is an age-related process accelerated by diseases like diabetes, and causes the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). NEG-mediated modification of bone's organic matrix, principally collagen type-I, has been implicated in impairing skeletal physiology and mechanics. Here, we present evidence, from in vitro and in vivo models, and establish a causal relationship between collagen glycation and alterations in bone fracture at multiple length scales. Through atomi...
The recovery effect of Vitamin C on structural alterations due to Streptozotocin-Induced diabetes in rat testicular tissues

Type I Diabetes is a multisystem disease that causes alterations in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolisms due to hyperglycemia. It has an extensive pathology, especially the mechanism involving oxidative stress is still complex. Type I diabetes is correlated with increased formation of free radicals and decreased levels of antioxidant potential. Vitamin C (Vit C) is a powerful antioxidant that participates in antioxidant defense, protecting lipid membranes and proteins from oxidative damage by donating...
Evaluation of Whole Genome Association Study Data in Bipolar Disorders: Potential Novel SNPs and Genes
CENGİZ HAN, Açıkel; Aydın Son, Yeşim; ÇELİK, Cemil; RECEP, Tütüncü (2015-03-01)
Objective: As a result of studies of multifactorial conditions, genetic, physiological and environmental factors, the overall heritability of bipolar disorders has been estimated to be up to 70%. In this study, an analysis of genome-wide association study data using data mining algorithms has revealed single-nucleotide polymorphisms that may be the basis for the molecular etiology of bipolar disorders.
Investigation of drug-related changes on bone tissues of rat animal models in healthy and disease states
Garip, Şebnem; Severcan, Feride; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biochemistry (2012)
Disease- and drug-related bone disorders are rapidly increasing in the population. The drugs which are used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic derangements, may have negative or positive effects on bone tissues. In the first study, the possible side-effects of Carbamazepine and epileptic seizures on bone structure and composition were investigated by FTIR and synchrotron-FTIR microspectroscopy, AFM and micro- and nano-hardness analysis. The effects on the blood parameters, bone tu...
