Metformin decreases miR-122, miR-223 and miR-29a in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Endocrine Connections, 2020
Metformin is associated with increased insulin sensitivity, whereas oral contraceptive pills (OCP) could increase the risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Ultrafast pump-probe dynamics in ZnSe-based semiconductor quantum-wells

, 2002
Pump-probe experiments are used as a controllable way to investigate the properties of photoexcited semiconductors, in particular, the absorption saturation.

Thermal conductivity and impurity scattering in the accreting neutron star crust

, 2016
We calculate the thermal conductivity of electrons for the strongly correlated multi-component ion plasma expected in the outer layers of neutron star's crust employing a Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) approach. This allows us to isolate the low energy

Effects of ovarian hormones and oral contraceptive pills on cardiac vagal withdrawal at the onset of dynamic exercise.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the ovarian hormones and the use of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) on cardiac vagal withdrawal at the onset of dynamic exercise. Thirty physically active women aged 19-32 years were divided into

Enhanced osteogenic capacity of octacalcium phosphate involving adsorption of stromal-derived factor-1 in a standardized defect of a rat femur

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine
This study investigated whether octacalcium phosphate (OCP) enhances bone regeneration through its synergistic effect with stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). Recombinant SDF-1 (0.5–5.0 μg) was combined with OCP granules through lyophilization.

The one-component plasma: a conceptual approach

, 1998
The one-component plasma (OCP) represents the simplest statistical mechanical model of a Coulomb system. For this reason, it has been extensively studied over the last forty years.

Improvement of bone regeneration by a synergistic combination of octacalcium phosphate and water glass

Materials & Design
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is a precursor of biological apatite minerals that can be used in synthetic bone grafts. In this work, a new type of synthetic bone grafts was developed by adding water glass to OCP (W-OCP). The OCP phase is generally known to
