The Effects of Physical Activity on Stress-induced Cardiac Fibrosis [PDF]
Purpose: This study examined whether routine physical activity limits stress-induced tissue remodeling processes that lead to cardiac fibrosis. The study also explored whether the cardiac urocortin 2/corticotropin releasing factor receptor 2β pathway was

RENIN ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM GENE POLYMORPHISMS IN CHILDREN WITH NEPHROTIC SYNDROM
To investigate the role of the reninangiotensin system genes polymorphisms in develop and progression of nephrotic syndrom (NS) in children we determined the genotypes of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensinogen (AGT) and angiotensin ii ...

Recent advances in vasoactive intestinal peptide physiology and pathophysiology: focus on the gastrointestinal system. [PDF]
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a gut peptide hormone originally reported as a vasodilator in 1970, has multiple physiological and pathological effects on development, growth, and the control of neuronal, epithelial, and endocrine cell functions ...

In the present study we investigated whether CRF injected into the brain or the periphery induces protection against indomethacin‐caused gastric injury and the role of glucocorticoids, the CRF receptor types 1 and 2 (CRF1 and CRF2 receptors) in the protection.

Pre-incubation of cell-free HIV-1 group M isolates with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors blocks subsequent viral replication in co-cultures of dendritic cells and T cells. [PDF]
In order to study the inhibitory effect of various reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) on cell-free HIV, we adapted a recently described in vitro system, based on co-cultures of dendritic cells and resting CD4 T cells, modelling early target cells ...
