However, many patients aged >65 years are also affected by these disorders. Indeed, the literature suggests that between 3–12% and 4–13% of individuals in this age range have allergic rhinitis and asthma, respectively. However, these numbers are most likely underestimates because atopic diseases

متن کاملAge-associated increase in cleaved caspase 3 despite phosphorylation of IGF-1 receptor in the rat retina.
Diseases of aging produce many alterations in the retina, but changes in growth factor signaling in normal aging are less characterized. This study investigated modifications in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor (IGF-1R) signaling in the retina of Brown Norway x Fischer 344 F1 hybrid rats at 8, 22, and 32 months. Immunoblotting for proteins involved in IGF-1R signal transduction and...
