The protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 is predominantly expressed in hemopoietic cell lineages, where its function is relatively well defined. However, its expression profile also extends to certain epithelial cell types...

Survival of all animals depends on an accurate representation of the world, and an organism must be capable of prioritizing and responding to potentially hazardous conditions. This ability is dependent on nociception, th...
Overlapping gene structure of the human neuropeptide Y recep...
May 08, 2013 12:45 PM
The human y1 and y5 receptor genes are transcribed in opposite directions from a common promoter region on chromosome 4q31-q32. One of the alternately spliced 5' exons of the y1 receptor gene (1C) is also an integral par...
Relationship of a novel polymorphic marker near the human ob...

The cloning of the murine obese (ob) gene and its human homologue has recently been reported. Mutations in the mouse ob gene result in hereditary obesity; however, the role of variations of OB in the regulation of bodywe...

The antirheumatic gold salt aurothiomalate (AuTM) has cellular actions that are consistent with modulation of gene expression. We have tested the hypothesis that an important mode of action of AuTM is inhibition of bindi...

Bisphosphonates have clinical benefit in children with severe osteogenesis imperfecta or osteoporosis and potential benefit in children with Perthes disease or undergoing distraction osteogenesis. However, there is conce...
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y2 receptors mediate behaviour in two a...
May 08, 2013 12:45 PM
The behavioural phenotype of mice lacking neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y(2)-type receptors was assessed in two well documented animal models of anxiety: namely, the elevated plus maze and the open field. NPY Y(2)-/- mice made mo...

Human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) grown under standard cell culture conditions enter a growth phase referred to as selection, but a subpopulation is able to escape from arrest and continue to proliferate. These cells...

Analysis of progesterone in unextracted serum: a method usin...
May 08, 2013 12:44 PM
A technique has been developed in which progesterone may be measured by radioimmunoassay in unextracted serum. The method depends on the displacement of progesterone from serum binding proteins by danazol, [17 alpha-preg...
The processes regulating glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and its modulation by incretins in pancreatic beta-cells are only partly understood. Here we investigate the involvement of beta-catenin in these proce...
Introduction The use of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has dramatically reduced HIV-1 associated morbidity and mortality. However, HIV-1 infected individuals have increased rates of morbidity and mortality compared to th...

Prolactin (PRL) is the primary lactogenic pituitary hormone that plays an essential role in many aspects of reproduction, from fertilization to mammary gland development and maternal behavior. PRL has also been reported ...

May 08, 2013 12:45 PM
Valproate is now the most widely prescribed mood-stabilizing drug and is being used increasingly in the treatment of bipolar disorder. However, the mechanism of action for valproate remains unclear. Microarray analysis w...
