Association Between the Interleukin-1 beta Gene (IL1B) C-511T Polymorphism and the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes: A Candidate-Gene Association Study
(2014)Variants of the interleukin-1 beta gene (IL1B) are implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present candidate-gene association study was conducted to investigate the association between the IL1B ... -
Beta-endorphin infusion during exercise in rats does not alter hepatic or muscle glycogen
(2001)The aim of this study was to determine whether beta -endorphin infusion influences liver or muscle glycogen concentration during exercise. Thirty-two rats (Harlan Co., IN, USA) with a body mass of 265-290 g were assigned ... -
Changes in gonadotrophin response to gonadotrophin releasing hormone in normal women following bilateral ovariectomy
(1997)OBJECTIVE Pituitary responsiveness to GnRH varies throughout the normal menstrual cycle, We have investigated whether there are differences in the ovarian mechanisms which regulate gonadotrophin secretion between the ... -
Circulating endothelin-3 and prolactin concentrations in healthy lactating women during the early puerperium
(1998)Objective: To study the association between the circulating concentrations of endothelin-3 and prolactin in the early puerperium. Design: Prospective clinical study, including twenty-five healthy puerperal women breast-feeding ... -
Combined prediction of Tat and Sec signal peptides with hidden Markov models
(2010)Motivation: Computational prediction of signal peptides is of great importance in computational biology. In addition to the general secretory pathway ( Sec), Bacteria, Archaea and chloroplasts possess another major pathway ... -
Development and application of competitive ELISA assays for rat LH and FSH
(1999)Rat LH (rLH) and FSH (rFSH) were measured by sensitive and specific competition ELISAs. The rat LH ELISA used rLH-I-9 coated plates, an antiserum against rLH and an antibody against rabbit IgG labeled with peroxidase. Using ... -
The effect of estrogens on plasma ghrelin concentrations in women
(2010)Background: Data regarding the possible effects of estrogen on ghrelin secretion in humans are limited and contradictory. Aim: To investigate the effect of estradiol (E2) on ghrelin levels in normal pre- and post-menopausal ... -
Growth hormone response to thyrotrophin releasing hormone in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
(1999)Recent clinical studies have suggested that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) may have disturbances of growth hormone (GH) kinetics and the GH/insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I system. The knowledge that in ... -
Insulin Alters the Permeability of Sheep Pleura
(2010)Aim: Insulin promotes ion transportation across epithelia, mainly kidneys, leading to water and electrolyte abnormalities, possibly causing 'insulin oedema syndrome', which rarely presents as pleural effusion. Direct ... -
Protective Effect of Atorvastatin in Cultured Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes
(2010)The aim of our study was to evaluate the in vitro effect of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, atorvastatin, on the expression of significant anabolic and catabolic genes in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes and to explore ... -
Spread of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clones in a University Hospital
(2013)An outbreak of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRPA) infections in a university hospital is described. Phenotypic and genotypic analysis of 240 isolates revealed that 152 patients, mainly in the intensive care ... -
Treatment of normal women with oestradiol plus progesterone prevents the decrease of leptin concentrations induced by ovariectomy
(2000)To study the role of oestradiol and progesterone in the secretion of leptin, 21 normally ovulating women were recruited from those scheduled for ovariectomy plus hysterectomy performed in mid-follicular phase of the cycle. ...
