Secretion of neurotransmitters is initiated by voltage-gated calcium influx through presynaptic, voltagegated N-type calcium channels. These channels interact with the SNARE proteins, which are core components of the exocytosis process, via the synaptic protein interaction (synprint) site in the intracellular loop connecting domains II and III of their a1B subunit. Interruption of this interact...

a-Adrenergic receptor (AR) activation enhances sodium retention in certain forms of hypertension. The objective of the present study was to understand the role of a-ARs in regulating sodium transport by distal tubules (DT). DT cells were isolated from kidneys of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats at 6 weeks, when hypertension is developing, or at 12 weeks, when hy...

The objective of this study was to estimate the effects of beta-kappa-casein (CN) haplotypes on first-lactation milk production traits. The beta-kappa-CN haplotypes were deduced using information on beta- and kappa-CN genotypes of cows and their sires for 16,973 Finnish Ayrshire cows that had at least nine paternal half sibs. Effects of CN haplotypes on milk production traits were estimated for...

This work presents new climate and emissions scenarios to investigate changes on future meteorology air quality in the U.S. Here, we employ a dynamically downscaled Weather Research Forecasting model coupled with chemistry (WRF/Chem) simulations that use two Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (i.e., A1B B2) integrated explicitly projected from novel Technology Driver Model (TDM). The 2046–2...

Climate and tourism are strong correlated. Urban areas have a relevance concerning not only to cultural tourism but also for recreation. The high discussed topic of global change is focused in the tourism climatology as well. We analyzed exemplarily the climate potential and its variation of Freiburg. The analysis is based on the simulations of the regional climate models REMO and CLM for the A...
