conclusions the lack of difference between adma levels in patients with pa and eh suggests that endothelial dysfunction is more likely related to hypertension per se than to the specific etiology of elevated blood pressure. results patients with pa had significantly higher concentrations of adma than healthy controls (0.488 ± 0.085 vs. 0.433 ± 0.053 μmol/l, p = 0.027). no difference was found i...

abstract background: increase in nitric oxide (no) concentration accompanied by alteration in peritoneal immune defense reactions is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. asymmetric dimethylarginine is an endogenous competitive inhibitor of no synthase. this study was designed to compare no metabolite (nitrite), asymmetric dimethylarginine, and estradiol concentrations in serum and per...

The main criterion in investment decisions is to maximize the investors utility. Traditional capital asset pricing models cannot be used when asset returns do not follow a normal distribution. For this reason, we use capital asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric power distributed (CAPM-IIAPD) and capital asset pricing model with asymmetric independent and identically a...

We propose and demonstrate a simple method to generate ultrawideband (UWB) pulses in the optical domain using a chirped intensity modulator and an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AMZI). Polarity- and shape-switchable UWB Gaussian monocycle, doublet, and triplet pulses with fractional bandwidths of 158%, 134%, and 100% and center frequencies of 6.52, 9.78, and 10.1 GHz are experimentally...

asymmetric information in iran’s insurance market: case study for automobile insurance in iran insurance companythis research aims to test the presence of asymmetric information by using the dynamic information of automobile policyholders in the iran insurance company (iic). the conditional independence test is conducted by bivariate probit model, the dynamic properties which are presented for ...

Asymmetric cell divisions occur widely during many developmental processes in plants. In most angiosperms, the first zygotic cell division is asymmetric resulting in two daughter cells of unequal size and with distinct fates. However, the critical molecular mechanisms regulating this division remain unknown. Previously we showed that treatment of tobacco zygotes with beta-glucosyl Yariv (βGlcY)...
