  Family and twin studies have estimated the heritability of obesity to be between 40 and 70% [5], [6], [7]. However, all known risk variants can only account for ∼3% of the variance in BMI [8], [9]. Therefore, alternate methods are needed to identify additional risk factors. In recent decades, Drosop

  For this reason we hypothesized that the DHFR gene could be a potential candidate in clefting. Our data, obtained using a family-based association approach, evidenced an association with borderline significance for the SNP rs1677693. The variant allele A at this marker seems to reduce the risk of C

  Group B phytocystatins are also expressed in caryopses. Although their expression patterns during germination are similar to those of the group A inhibitors, their expression patterns during seed development vary, indicating that they play different roles in the latter process. The highest levels of

  Previous studies reported that NE and MHPG are deeply involved in depression and that NE reuptake inhibitors are approved for use in patients with depression (for review, see [2]). We found increased hippocampal content of NE and MHPG in the CORT-treated CRTH2−/− mice (Fig. 3). In the hippocampus, a

  The mechanism underlying the increased PON1 levels found in greenhouse workers may be accounted for by an increased protein SW033291 following pesticide interaction with different nuclear receptors as also occurs with other chemicals, such as polyphenols and statins [28]. A number of nuclear recepto

  MdHCLB channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes produced currents in response to HA and GABA (Fig. 1, Fig. 3). This is in agreement with the findings with Drosophila HCLB channels (Gisselmann et al., 2004). In the HA concentration-response curves, the effects of GABA were additive to those of HA only i

  Conclusions Statement of authorship Nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (NA-SAH) differs from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in both clinical course and outcome. In spite of many reports and case series since the first description in 1985, the etiology of NA-SAH remains uncertain

  The orphan estrogen-related receptor exists as three subtypes (ERRα, ERRβ, and ERRγ) in the human genome. ERRα is expressed in metabolically active tissues such as muscle and adipose. ERRγ is expressed in the spinal cord and CNS. ERRβ appears to play a role in development, as postnatal expression

  The question arises as to how the massive conformational changes determining whether APC/CCDC20–MCC is inhibited or able to catalyze MCC ubiquitylation are naturally controlled? This transition likely involves APC/C regions near the subunit APC15, because reducing cellular APC15 levels stabilizes MC

  Introduction In addition to the canonical double stranded structure, DNA can form various higher order structures such as bulges, and various kinds of mismatches, triplexes, to the G-quadruplex (G4). Over the past decades, accumulating evidence has begun to emerge that these non-canonical structu
