Progressive cardiac remodeling is characterized by subsequent chamber hypertrophy, enlargement, and pump dysfunction. It is also associated with increased cardiac fibrosis and matrix turnover. Interestingly, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha activators reduce cardiac hypertrophy, inflammation, and fibrosis. Little is known about the role of fenofibrates in mediating PPARal...

Divalent ions of the first series transition elements and Hg were introduced into a cadmium hydroxyapatite Cd5 (P04) 30H by replacing a part of Cd2+, and the effects on the crystal growths and the structural changes were studied. Cd2+ can be exchanged with Mn2+ up to about 30 mol %, with N¡Z+or Hg2+ up to about 10 mol %, and with a little amount of Fe2+ or Cu2+. It was found that Cd5 (PO.)sOH f...

In addition to the previously studied Zn(2+), low concentrations (about 0.5 mM) of Be(2+), Ba(2+), Cd(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Pt(4+) and, outstandingly, 0.5 microM of UO(2) (2+), potentiate the twitch of frog sartorius and toe muscles by prolonging the active state of contraction. The degree of potentiation is a roughly S-shaped function of p(metal(2+)), suggesting that each metal binds to a ligan...

Several characterizations are given of (Zelmanowitz) regular modules among the torsionless modules, the locally projective modules, the nonsingular modules, and modules where certain submodules are pure. Along the way, a version of the unimodular row lemma for torsionless modules is given, and it is shown that a regular ring is left self-injective if and only if every nonsingular left module is...
