compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops
chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
15 صفحه اولPhysiology of Testicular Function
The testes produce the male gametes and the male sexual hormones (androgens). The term spermatogenesis describes and includes all the processes involved in the production of gametes, whereas steroidogenesis refers to the enzymatic reactions leading to the production of male steroid hormones. Spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis take place in two compartments morphologically and functionally dist...
متن کاملPCSK9 locus influence circulating PCSK9 levels
PCSK9 is a circulating protein, synthesized predominantly in the liver, involved in the regulation of the plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL)–cholesterol concentration and associated with susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD). Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) shortens the half-life of the LDL-receptor (LDLR), a process independent of its catalytic activity. Human ...
متن کاملPCSK9 and Lipoprotein(a)
Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has rapidly become a focus of intensive investigation worldwide because of its linkage to multiple clinically important facets of hepatic lipoprotein metabolism. To facilitate secretion and proper folding, the zymogen pro-PCSK9 must undergo autocatalytic cleavage. Once in the extracellular space, mature PCSK9 does not engage in proteolytic a...
