(2014-05-02)
The 1926 Air Commerce Act represented the institutionalization of a specific
mental model for aviation regulation within the United States. This dissertation focuses
on how individuals and groups responded to three ...
Regulation of adiponectin secretion by endothelin-1 and myosin II
(2007-08-15)
Adiponectin is an adipokine with profound insulin-sensitizing, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Plasma levels of adiponectin are reduced in insulin resistant states such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and ...
Regulation of Glucose Metabolism in a Hepatic and Muscle Cell Line by Adiponectin
(2005-12-15)
Adiponectin is a 30-kD protein secreted by adipose tissue under normal conditions. Serum adiponectin concentrations are decreased in obesity and type 2 diabetes. AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 are two receptors of adiponectin with ...
Regulation of Leydig Cell Differentiated Function by the Industrial Chemical Bisphenol A (BPA)
(2012-08-02)
Exposure of the population to bisphenol A (BPA) is significant due to its extensive use in the manufacture of a wide variety of consumer products, including polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. However, there is concern ...
Regulation of Potassium Channel in Ventricular Myocytes of Rat Following Volume Overload
(2009-04-13)
Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of death in the US. Among the deaths of
patients with HF, up to 50% are sudden and unexpected. The sudden deaths have been
related to the lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as ...
