AbstractThe objectives of this study were to determine whether the main opioid receptor (OPRM1) is present on human granulosa cells and if exogenous opiates and their antagonists can influence granulosa cell vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production via OPRM1...

Abstract Background It is commonly reported that chronic venous disease (CVD) increases the skin iron content in which the excess is stored as haemosiderin. Despite increasing interest in the role of haemosiderin in venous ulceration, no study has systematically evaluat...

Abstract Ion flux studies were performed on Langendorff-perfused rat hearts using 87 Rb, 7 Li and 23 Na NMR at 36, 20 and 10°C, and at constant extracellular pH (7.40). Using 31 P NMR, the intracellular pH was estimated and the high energy phosphate content monitored. C...

Summary The Ccr4-Not complex regulates eukaryotic gene expression at multiple levels, including mRNA turnover, translational repression, and transcription. We have studied the ubiquitylation module of the yeast Ccr4-Not complex and addressed how E3 ligase binds cognate ...

The anaphylatoxin receptor C5aR is one of the two major G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) identified in the human genome that interact with the complement component fragment 5a (hC5a), the most potent proinflammatory polypeptide of the complement system. The interacti...

AbstractThe Endangered Species Act (ESA) continues to serve as one of the most powerful and contested federal legislative mandates for conservation. In the midst of heated debates, researchers, policy makers, and conservation practitioners champion the importance of coo...

AbstractObjectivesTo validate the quantitative method used in the evaluation of microleakage and to evaluate the microleakage of dental restorations using GCP Fill. The null hypothesis was that the restorative system doesn’t have any influence regarding microleakage.Met...
