Potential side effects of androgen deprivation treatment in sex offenders.
Testosterone is an important hormone involved in sexual arousal, and, indeed, a profound reduction of testosterone levels may be helpful in controlling sexual impulses in sex offenders. Earlier thought of as a sex hormone only, testosterone has been increasingly shown to have manifold actions in the adult male. Normal adult levels of androgens are required for the health of bones, a large numbe...
متن کاملPolycation-mediated transfection: how to overcome undesirable side effects of sticky DNA complexes.
Using polycationic transfection one encounters undesired persistent binding to cells of sticky polycation/DNA complexes. These complexes simulate transfection under conditions where no uptake is expected e.g. at 4 degrees C if the uptake is by endocytosis. To overcome this problem, using H1/DNA complexes, we developed an easy and nontoxic method for removing the sticky complexes not taken up du...
متن کاملEffect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...
متن کاملHow to overcome undesirable effects
Power transformers are still among the most costly and critical components in an electrical power network. Thus, the importance of a reliable condition assessment of these assets increases due to the aging of transformer fleets. The Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) has become an important standard test and provides comprehensive information about the mechanical and electrical integrity ...
متن کاملTGF - β signaling *
TGF-β superfamily ligands play fundamental roles in the development and physiology of diverse animal species. Genetic and genomic analyses in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans have contributed to the understanding of TGF-β-related signal transduction mechanisms. In this chapter, I describe the currently characterized TGF-β-related signals and signal transduction cassettes in C. elegans....
