Open AccessComparison of the expression of cluster of differentiation (CD)39 and CD73 between propofol- and sevoflurane-based anaesthesia during open heart surgery
High expression of cluster of differentiation (CD)39 and CD73 has cardio-protective effects. We hypothesised that the expression of CD39 and CD73 would differ between propofol- and volatile anaesthetic-based a...

Benzo(a)pyrene represses melanogenesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells
Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is a chemically based polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is readily absorbed by the skin. BaP is metabolized to BaP-diol-epoxide by cytochromes P-450 1A1/2 (CYP1A1/2) and cytochrom...
