Abstract
We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of active plasma renin concentration (APRC) and prorenin in patients with HF treated with RAAS-blocking agents and its relationship with kidney function parameters.
One hundred clinically stable patients with HF, treated with RAAS-blocking...

Abstract
We conducted a serosurvey there in 2005. A total of 4686 subjects were enrolled and vaccination history and blood samples collected. HBV infective markers were determined by radioimmunoassay. The results were compared with the data of 1985. Our results show that the overall HBsAg prevalence was 7·5...

Abstract
We hypothesized that testosterone regulates components of prostate tight junctions which serve as a barrier to inflammation, thus providing a connection between age- and treatment-associated testosterone declines and prostatic pathology. We examined the expression and distribution of tight junction...

We compared the skeletal phenotype of wild-type (ERα(+/+)) and ERα knock out (ERα(-/-)) mice with that of mice in which the only ERα present had a knock-in mutation abolishing ERE binding (non-classical ERα knock-in [NERKI], ERα(-/NERKI)). All three groups were in the same genetic background (...

Abstract
The local secretion of hGH by tumour explants - presenting a positive immunohistochemical reaction (IHCR) to the product of P53 gene - was twice as high as those with no IHCR to product of P53 gene; the opposite was noted in the case of IGF-I, IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-3 secretion. In both cases, the level...

We require a thorough understanding of how common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influence serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD). We undertook a systematic review of the literature in order to identify studies that examined 25OHD concentrations, and common SNPs. We found nine s...

Abstract
In ruminants, prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF(2alpha)) is the uterine luteolytic hormone. During luteolysis, PGF(2alpha) is synthesized and released from the endometrium in a pulsatile pattern. The unique structure of the vascular utero-ovarian plexus (UOP) allows transport of luteolytic PGF(2alpha) puls...
