Testosterone deficiency is associated with poor prognosis among patients chronic heart failure (HF). Physiological testosterone improves the exercise capacity of HF. In this study, we evaluated whether treatment physiological contributes to anti-fibrogenesis by modifying calcium homeostasis in cardiac fibroblasts and studied underlying mechanisms. Nitric oxide (NO) analyses, (Ca2+) fluorescence...

Background & Objective: Breast cancer has a pivotal role in many deaths caused by malignancies. Epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (EGFR-2 or HER-2) and estrogen receptor (ER) have immense predictive values as prognostic factors. cancers that steroid receptors respond to hormone therapy show better prognosis than without receptors.Materials Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was per...

The intracellular signaling pathway of growth hormone (GH)-stimulated DNA synthesis and proliferation was investigated in primary cultures adult rat hepatocytes. cell were detected hepatocyte parenchymal cells grown serum-free, defined medium containing GH (100 ng/ml). GH-stimulated almost completely blocked by TG101209 (10?6 M), a selective Janus kinase (JAK)2 inhibitor, U-73122 phospholipase ...

anti-n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (anti-nmdar) encephalitis is is most common form ofimmune-mediated encephalitis with prominent neurologic and psychiatric features at disease onset. we describe a 16 years old patient who presented with fever and status epilepticus. his mri sequences was normal. anti-nmdar antibodies were detected in the csf.  mri, ct and other studies didn,t show any tumor.

dopamine (da) is one of the main catecholamines in the brain and is crucial for movement coordination, endocrine function, reward, mood, memory and emotions. the dopaminergic system is the primary therapeutic target in the treatment of parkinson’s disease (pd), drug addiction and schizophrenia. notwithstanding, dysfunction of central dopaminergic neurotransmission has also been associated to de...

The determinants for recognition at H3 histamine receptors are considered. Findings based on quantum-chemical calculations suggest that H3 histamine receptor is less hydrophilic than the H2. The form most likely to be recognized by the H3 receptor is an intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded form of alpha-methylhistamine. Receptor environment and hydration effects of active form of histamine analogs ...

This receptor family comprises a group of receptors for the calcitonin/CGRP peptides. The calcitonin (CT), amylin (AMY), gene-related peptide (CGRP) and adrenomedullin (AM) (nomenclature as agreed by NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on CGRP, AM, AMY, CT [131, 74, 71]) are generated genes CALCR (which codes receptor, CTR) CALCRL receptor-like CLR, previously known CRLR). Their function pharmacology altere...
