      Introducción y objetivos. La interpretación de la tomografía de emisión de fotón único (SPECT) de perfusión miocárdica requiere conocer la reproducibilidad de la técnica. El objetivo fue analizar la correlación ...
    • Casanello, Paola; Herrera Videla, Emilio; Krause, Bernardo J. (INTECH, 2017)
      Most of the worldwide deaths in patients with non-communicable diseases are due to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, which are determined by a mix of environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors, and by their ...

      Although the fetal pineal gland does not secrete melatonin, the fetus is exposed to melatonin of maternal origin. In the non-human primate fetus, melatonin acts as a trophic hormone for the adrenal gland, stimulating ...
