Forty-four patients with allergic (ABA) and non-allergic (NABA) liftmaster ppwr variants of bronchial asthma (BA) were examined to evaluate levels of key adipokines (leptin, resistin, adiponectin) in sputum in different variants of BA.Adipokines in sputum and blood plasma were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).The indices that r
The insulin receptor (IR) presents by alternative splicing two isoforms: IRA and IRB.The differential physiological and pathological role of both isoforms is not completely known, and it is determinant the different binding affinity for insulin-like growth factor.IRB is more abundant in adult tissues and it exerts mainly the metabolic actions of in
The correlative path analysis between tree dryness and four latex parameters was studied in crb concept eleven clones of Hevea brasiliensis.The latex parameters used for evaluation were initial volume, initial flow rate, final volume and plugging index with tree dryness as the dependent factor.Estimates of direct and indirect effects of each of the
Excess export of nitrate to streams affects ecosystem structure and functions and has been an environmental issue attracting worldwide attention.The dynamics of catchment-scale solute export from diffuse nitrogen sources can be explained by the changes of dominant flow paths, as solute attenuation (including the degradation of nitrate) is linked to
Abstract In 2008 the Food and Drug Administration introduced a guidance for industry that requires the investigation of cardiovascular outcomes of glucose-lowering medications.Since then, an increasing number of cardiovascular outcome trials have been completed in diabetes patients with high cardiovascular risk for members of the SGLT-2 and DPP4 in
