(ELSEVIER, 2004-10)OBJECTIVE: We evaluated metabolic parameters in Chilean women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who were carriers and non-carriers of the glycine-to-arginine substitution at codon 972 (Gly972Arg) variant of insulin ...
-
(AMER INST NUTRITION, 2004-02)Inorganic iron (Fe) absorption from the diet is controlled mainly in the intestinal tract where apical Fe uptake is inversely related to the Fe content in the enterocyte. Iron bis-glycine chelate is an iron compound that ...

(KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBL, 2004-10)Susceptibility to the type 1 diabetes is genetically controlled and there is an increased risk associated with the presence of some specific alleles of the human leukocyte antigens class II loci (DQA1 and DQB1 genes). The ...
-
(US DEPT HEALTH HUMAN SCIENCES PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCE, NATL INST HEALTH, NATL INST ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES, 2004-12)Previous studies indicated that sex might influence the response to copper exposure. Cenaloplasmin (Cp) is an indicator of Cu status, but it is not clear whether and how it reflects changes of Cu status among healthy ...
-
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2004-04)Background: Type 1 diabetes is an organ specific autoimmune disease whose incidence is increasing worldwide. A functional imbalance in cytokine production resulting in dominance of T helper (Th1) over Th2-type response has ...
