P450-aromatase activity and expression in human testicular tissues with severe spermatogenic failure (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2010)There is evidence that impaired spermatogenesis is associated with an imbalance in the oestradiol/testosterone ratio and with Leydig cell (LC) dysfunction. In testis, P450-aromatase, encoded by CYP19, is responsible for ...

(2010)Calpains contribute to reperfusion-induced myocardial cell death. However, it remains controversial whether its activation occurs during ischemia or reperfusion. We investigated the regulation and time-course of calpain ...
-
(2010)Despite the importance of adipocyte formation for adipose tissue physiology, current knowledge about the mechanisms that regulate the recruitment of progenitor cells to undergo adipogenic differentiation is limited. A role ...
-
(2010)Background: Policystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a very common endocrine disease in women of reproductive age, of uncertain etiology and heterogeneous clinical presentation. The introduction of the Rotterdams Consensus ...
-
(2010)In humans, a direct relationship between IGF-I cord blood levels and birth weight has been demonstrated. To determine the placental IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-IR mRNA and protein contents in full-term pregnancies from appropriate ...
-
(2010)The inhibitory effects of a standarized apple peel polyphenol-rich extract (APPE) against Helicobacter pylori infection and vacuolating bacterial toxin (VacA) induced vacuolation were investigated. Apple peel polyphenols ...
-
(2010)Many hypotheses have been raised regarding the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Because amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) deposition in senile plaques appears as a late, nonspecific event, recent evidence points to tau ...
-
