Glucocorticoid-endocannabinoid interaction in cardiac surgical patients: relationship to early cognitive dysfunction and late depression [PDF]
Background: Endocannabinoids (ECs) are rapidly acting immune-modulatory lipid-signaling molecules that are important for adaptation to stressful and aversive situations. They are known to interact with glucocorticoids and other stress-responsive systems.

Effects of cholestatic drugs towards hepatic canalicular and sinusoidal secretion of bile acids were investigated using a biphasic functional assay in human hepatoma HepaRG cells. After an initial loading phase with taurocholate, cells were re‐incubated in taurocholate‐free medium (efflux phase), with or without calcium (for modulating the opening of ...

Differential effects of steroids and retinoids on bovine myelopoiesis in vitro [PDF]
Pregnancy and parturition are associated with physiological changes caused by steroid hormones. Alterations in number, maturity, and function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes observed in dairy cows at parturition suggest a common causative relationship ...

A randomized clinical trial on inhaled ciclesonide for managing acute asthma in the emergency room
BACKGROUND: Use of inhaled corticosteroids for managing acute asthma exacerbations has been tested since the 1990s. OBJECTIVE: To compare high doses of inhaled ciclesonide with systemic hydrocortisone for managing acute asthma exacerbations in the ...

Using blubber explants to investigate adipose function in grey seals:glycolytic, lipolytic and gene expression responses to glucose and hydrocortisone [PDF]
Adipose tissue is fundamental to energy balance, which underpins fitness and survival. Knowledge of adipose regulation in animals that undergo rapid fat deposition and mobilisation aids understanding of their energetic responses to rapid environmental ...

Fabrication and Functionalisation of Nanocarbon‐Based Field‐Effect Transistor Biosensors
Next‐generation diagnostics: Nanocarbon‐based field effect transistors (NC‐FETs) use incoming target analytes to impart a gating effect on conductance. Here, we review the operational mechanisms behind NC‐FETs, the fabrication and functionalisation of NC‐FETs with receptor biomolecules and downstream biosensing applications.
