OBJECTIVE Diabetic nephropathy clusters in families, suggesting that genetic factors play a role in its pathogenesis. We investigated whether similar clustering exists for proliferative retinopathy in families with two or more siblings with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The FinnDiane Study has characterized 20% (4,800 patients) of adults with type 1 diabetes in Finland. In 188 ...

three major flavonoid fractions were separated from a methanol extract of calendula officinalis flowers by preparative tlc. these fractions were evaluated for the inhibition of parent and tamoxifen resistant t47d human breast cancer cells. we also examined the effect of quercetin and isorhamnetin on the growth of parent and resistant t47d cells in the presence and absence of tamoxifen. it was f...
