Effects of α2- and β-adrenoceptor agonists on growth hormone secretion following lesion of the noradrenergic system of the rat
(1992)
The aim of the present investigation was to lesion the noradrenergic system and to measure the effect on growth hormone (GH) secretion following peripheral administration of α2- and β-adrenoceptor agonists. Direct injection ...
Proximal renal tubular acidosis in pregnancy: A case report and literature review
(2007)
Renal tubular acidosis is usually associated with chronic renal conditions and is rarely encountered in pregnancy. It may be inherited causing osteomalacia and rickets in children or acquired following autoimmune diseases ...
Schizophrenia-window-of-hope.com: Development of a psycho-educational internet resource for the South African setting
(2010)
Psycho-educational programmes for families of persons with schizophrenia have been shown to reduce relapse rates, subsequently reducing the burden on the family as well as health care systems. Although various South African ...
Selective lysis of erythrocytes infected with the trophozoite stage of Plasmodium falciparum by polyene macrolide antibiotics
(2006)
The continuous increase in strains of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum resistant to most front-line antimalarial compounds is reason for grave clinical concern. The search for new drugs led us to investigate ...
Membranes of class IIa bacteriocin-resistant Listeria monocytogenes cells contain increased levels of desaturated and short-acyl-chain phosphatidylglycerols
(2002)
A major concern in the use of class IIa bacteriocins as food preservatives is the well-documented resistance development in target Listeria strains. We studied the relationship between leucocin A, a class IIa bacteriocin, ...
Analysis of vitamin B6 vitamers in plasma by cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography
(1987)
The aims of the present study were to evaluate the cation-exchange HPLC assay published by Coburn and Mahuren using 4'-deoxypyridoxine 5'-phosphate as an internal standard, to compare the accuracy of this method of pyridoxal ...

We report a case of hepatitis B immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in an 8-month-old girl with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection. In resource-constrained ...
Effects of myo-Inositol versus fluoxetine and imipramine pretreatments on serotonin 5HT2A and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in human neuroblastoma cellsEffects of myo-Inositol versus fluoxetine and imipramine pretreatments on serotonin 5HT2A and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in human neuroblastoma cells
(2004)
myo-Inositol (mI) is a key metabolic precursor to the phospoinositide (PI) metabolic pathway as a key component of central G-protein coupled receptor signaling systems, including several subtypes of adrenergic, cholinergic, ...
Use of novel proteosome inhibitors as a therapeutic strategy in lymphomas current experience and emerging concepts
(2007)
Precedent from preclinical experiments coupled with two pivotal phase 2 studies in myeloma has focused attention on a potential role for ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in modulating a number of events that occur commonly in ...
