(2010)Conflicts of interest are receiving increased attention in medical research, clinical practice and education. Criticism of, and penalties for, conflicts of interest have been insufficiently discussed and have been applied ...
-
(2010)Prenatal undernutrition induces hypertension later in life, possibly by disturbing the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis through programming decreased expression of hypothalamic glucocorticoid receptors. We examined the ...
-
(2010)We previously reported that centrally-induced sympathetic activation in response to cold stress is associated with a polycystic ovarian condition in rats, and thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) released locally from the ...
-
(2010)Iron and copper ions, in their unbound form, may lead to the generation of reactive oxygen species via Haber-Weiss and/or Fenton reactions. In addition, it has been shown that copper ions can irreversibly and non-specifically ...
-
(2010)Aim: This study explored how Chilean immigrant women living in Sweden perceived and related their life situations and health status during midlife to their migration experiences. Method: Three focus group discussions (FGDs) ...
-
Hormetic responses of thyroid hormone calorigenesis in the liver: Association with oxidative stress (2010)Thyroid hormone (L-3,3',5-triiodothyronine, T3) exerts calorigenic effects by accelerating mitochondrial O2 consumption through transcriptional activation of respiratory genes, with consequent increased reactive oxygen ...
-
(2010)Primary aldosteronism is an important cause of secondary hypertension and is suspected in adults with an aldosterone/renin ratio ≥25. The normal aldosterone/renin ratio is unknown in children. The aim was to establish serum ...
-
(2010)The sub-Antarctic Magellanic ecoregion harbors a high diversity of bryophytes, greater than the species richness of vascular plants. Despite this fact, phenological studies on bryophytes are lacking for this ecoregion and ...
-
(2010)The changes in endometrial homeostasis found in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) could be associated with alterations in the intracrine metabolism of steroid hormones. The uptake of dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate ...
-
(2010)Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most successful protozoan parasites given its ability to manipulate the immune system and establish a chronic infection. It is a parasite with a significant impact on human health, mainly ...
-
(2010)Objectives: Efavirenz is extensively metabolized by CYP2B6, and associations between CYP2B6 polymorphisms and plasma efavirenz exposure have been reported. The objective of this study was to investigate CYP2B6 haplotype ...
-
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2010)Senda Darwin Biological Station (SDBS) is a field research center immersed in the rural landscape of northern Chiloé island (42° S), where remnant patches of the original evergreen forests coexist with open pastures, ...
-
(2010)Every day more adolescents begin consuming drugs and at increasingly younger ages. Due to social stigma and criminal sanctions, studies on illicit drugs (ID) require methodologies that reduce underreporting. To identify ...
-
(Springer New York, 2010)The double-strand break (DSB) DNA repair pathway has been implicated in breast cancer (BC). RAD51 and its paralogs XRCC3 and RAD51D play an important role in the repair of DSB through homologous recombination (HR). Some ...
-
(2010)The pathways leading to male germ cell apoptosis in vivo are poorly understood, but are highly relevant for the comprehension of sperm production regulation by the testis. In this work, we show the evidence of a mechanism ...
-
(2010)This study was conducted to determine the types of M. pneumoniae prevalent in adults presenting with community-acquired pneumonia during an epidemic period, and to scrutinize a variable region of the RepMP4 element for the ...
-
(2010)Salmonella Gallinarum is a pathogen with a host range specific to poultry, while Salmonella Enteritidis is a broad host range pathogen that colonizes poultry sub-clinically but is a leading cause of gastrointestinal ...
-
(2010)Based on association and sequencing studies, investigators have postulated muscle segment homeobox 1 (MSX1) as a strong candidate gene involved in the causation of nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP). ...
-
(2010)Breast cancer is a common disease estimated to occur in 1 in 9 women over their lifetime. Epidemiological research has identified a number of risk factors for breast cancer. Racial and ethnic differences in breast cancer ...
