In this paper, several fixed point theorems for T-contraction of two maps on cone metric spaces under normality condition are proved. Obtained results extend and generalize well-known comparable results in the literature.

It has long been accepted that M g A T P is the energy source for contraction. Evidence has also accumulated indicating that M g A T P plays an important role in the regulation of contraction (Weber and Murray, 1973; Inoue and Tonomura , 1974; Godt, 1974; Orentlicher et al., 1977). In an a t tempt to better understand the dual role of ATP in contraction, several researchers have studied the eff...

muscle fatigue assessment has been the basis of numerous studies, specifically, in neuromuscular rehabilitation and the applications of fessystems. various emgbased techniques, in time and frequency domains, have been investigatedover years for the detection and evaluationof this phenomenon. the main objective of this study has beento evaluate the efficiency of applying a number of techniques w...

We previously reported that the lack of serglycin proteoglycan affects secretory granule morphology and granzyme B (GrB) storage in in vitro generated CTLs. In this study, the role of serglycin during viral infection was studied by infecting wild-type (wt) mice and serglycin-deficient (SG(-/-)) mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Wt and SG(-/-) mice cleared 10(3) PFU of highly ...

Insulin and contraction increase glucose transport in an additive fashion in skeletal muscle. However, it is still unclear whether they do so by inducing the recruitment of GLUT4 transporters from the same or distinct intracellular compartments to the plasma membrane and the T-tubules. Using the transferrin receptor as a recognized marker of recycling endosomes, we have examined whether insulin...

Med., 1977, 124 (3), 261-266 In five anesthetized open chest dogs, contraction patterns of the left ventricle induced by ventricular pacing were analyzed using cineangiocardiography. Left ventriculogr...

The effect of serotonin on isometric tension and transmembrane calcium influx was investigated in rings cut from branches of male bovine circumflex and left anterior descending coronary arteries. Responses were compared to those produced by potassium chloride, and to the serotonin contraction produced in rabbit thoracic aorta. Serotonin in bovine ventricular coronary arteries produced a strong,...

Proinflammatory cytokines, such as gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), impact aspects of T-cell responses after infection, including expansion, contraction, and memory formation. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) functions as a proinflammatory cytokine by stimulating the production of IFN-gamma from multiple cell types and accentuating the development of Th1 CD4 T-cell responses. Focused microarray analyses rev...
