Psoriasis is a chronic hyperproliferative skin disease, which affects approximately 2% to 4% of the general population. This immune-mediated disorder is characterized by erythematous scaling plaques ranging extensively in size on the scalp, elbows, knee, and other surfaces of the skin (1). Importantly, genetic, immunohistochemical, and pharmacologic investigations support a prominent role for n...

Soy Isoflavone Genistein Is a Potential Agent for Metabolic Syndrome Treatment: A Narrative Review

Metabolic syndrome has a high prevalence (about 22.4% in adult individuals) in developed countries. Inflammation due to obesity and fat accumulation is the most important factor in the progression of metabolic syndrome. In cells which have a receptor for insulin hormone, inflammatory mediators target the insulin signaling pathway and cause insulin resistance. Peroxisome proliferator-activated r...

A Potential New Antianginal Agent'

Antianginal drugs were evaluated on the basis of their ability to protect against subepicardial electrogram changes induced by local ventricular ischemia in anesthetized dogs. Sch 11973 [N-(2-phenylisopropyl)-N-p-toluene sulfonyl urea], a potential new antianginal agent, was also effective against local ventricular ischemia with its maximum effect appearing at 1 mg; kg, i.v. or i.d. and with a ...
