Label-free assaying of testosterone and growth hormones in blood using surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy [PDF]
This work reports the potential use of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in rapid, label-free assaying of testosterone (TE) and growth hormone (GH) in whole blood. Biomarker SERS spectral bands from the two hormones (TE and GH) in intentionally spiked water for injection and in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat blood are reported.

The Role of Magnesium in Liver Cirrhosis
Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, crucial for physiological functions. Its deficiency, common in liver cirrhosis patients, correlates with poor outcomes by affecting inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and immunity. This review explores magnesium's role in cirrhosis and its interaction with disease mechanisms.

Characterization of the norepinephrine-activation of adenylate cyclase suggests a role in memory affirmation pathways. Overexposure to epinephrine inactivates adenylate-cyclase,a causal pathway for stress-pathologies [PDF]
Incubation with noradrenaline (norepinephrine) of isolated membranes of rat's brain corpus striatum and cortex, showed that ionic-magnesium (Mg2+) is required for the neurotransmitter activatory response of Adenylate Cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), (EC 4.6.1.1)], AC.An Mg2+-dependent response to the activatory effects of adrenaline, and ...
