Measurement of urinary 5-HIAA: correlation between spot versus 24-h urine collection
Endocrine Connections, 2019 Background: The 24-h urinary output of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) is used to monitor disease progression and treatment responses of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs).

Linguistic mechanism of the evolution of amino acid frequencies and genomic GC content [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 Much information is stored in amino acid composition of protein and base composition of DNA. We simulated the evolution of amino acid frequencies and genomic GC content by a linguistic model. It is showed that the evolution of genetic code determines the evolution of amino acid frequencies and genomic GC content.

Genetic Code Table: A note on the three splittings into amino acid classes [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 This note represents the further progress in understanding the determination of the genetic code by Golden mean (Rakocevic, 1998). Three classes of amino acids that follow from this determination (the 7 "golden" amino acids, 7 of their complements, and 6 non-complements) are observed now together with two further possible splittings into 4 x 5 and 5 x ...

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1976 In order to determine whether the human pattern of circulating melatonin resembles that previously described in lower animals, men 19-32 years old were exposed to a light-dark cycle with 14 hours of light per day (L:D 14:10).
