Thyroid hormones are crucial hormones that primarily regulate the metabolism of entire body cells. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were grouped into sham thyroidectomy (Sham Tx), thyroidectomy (Tx), Tx with thyroxine replacement (Tx + T4), and PTU injection (PTU) groups. Metabolic parameters were measured by means of metabolic cages for 14 days. After 14 days, the rats were sacrificed while ...

Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antibodies (AT1 RAb) have emerged as non-HLA Ab present in patients with acute AMR and risk of graft loss. Furthermore, AT1 RAb have been shown to increase angiotensin II sensitivity which may play a role in the development of CVD and hypertension. Data on AT1 RAb in stable transplant recipients are lacking. The aim of this study was to analyze the levels of AT1 R...

In this paper we investigate power allocation in MIMO-OFDM systems. We describe the optimal power allocations under two different constraints: a constraint on the total power of all transmitters (TXs) which is applicable in wireless applications, and a constraint on the power of each TX which is more relevant in wireline applications. We describe the optimal TX/RX structure which in combination...

The effects of pH and bromide ion concentration on the formation of nine haloacetic acids (HAAs) and total organic halogens (TOX) in chlorinated drinking water have been evaluated. In an extensive study, the relationships of nine HAAs with TOX have been investigated. Honesty Significant Differences test (HSD) and ANOVA tests were used for the statistical analyses. The study determined the conce...

partially fed (4 -5 days) h .a. anatolicum (iranian isolate) female adult ticks were used for preparation of antigens of midgut which are, the gut supernate antigen (gs), gut membrane antigen (gm), triton extracted gut membrane antigen ( tx-gm ) and sodium dodecyl sulphate treated triton extracted gut membrane antigen (sds-tx-gm). the new zealand white rabbits were immunized with gs, gm, tx- gm...

1,3-Alternate cationic calix[4]arene proved highly selective for proton/halogens symport transport and showed antiproliferative activity against murine monocyte/macrophage J774.A1 cancer cells.

INTRODUCTION TX-004HR is an investigational, applicator-free, vaginal soft gel capsule containing low-dose solubilized 17β-estradiol. The phase 3, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter REJOICE trial has shown TX-004HR to be safe and effective for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia in postmenopausal women with vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA). AIM To evaluate...

We study whether sufficiently large integers can be written in the form cp+ Tx, where p is either zero or a prime congruent to r mod d, and Tx = x(x + 1)/2 is a triangular number. We also investigate whether there are infinitely many positive integers not of the form (2p−r)/m+Tx with p a prime and x an integer. Besides two theorems, the paper also contains several conjectures together with rela...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the significance of tendon xanthomas (TX) in heterozygous subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia (hFH). METHODS AND RESULTS 951 men and women with genetic diagnosis of hFH were studied, of whom 278 (29.2%) presented TX. TX frequency increased with age from 6.9% in subjects 20 to 30 years to 38.3% at 51 to 60 years, with a decrease in those older than 60 years. To...
