Transcriptional Activation of Elephant Shark Mineralocorticoid Receptor by Corticosteroids, Progesterone and Spironolactone [PDF]
We report the analysis of activation by corticosteroids and progesterone of full-length mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) from elephant shark, a cartilaginous fish belonging to the oldest group of jawed vertebrates. Based on their measured activities, aldosterone, cortisol, 11-deoxycorticosterone, corticosterone, 11-deoxcortisol, progesterone and 19 ...

Star network non-n-local correlations can resist consistency noises better [PDF]
Imperfections from devices can result in the decay or even vanish of non-n-local correlations as the number of parties n increases in the polygon and linear quantum networks ([Phys. Rev. A 106, 042206 (2022)] and [Phys. Rev. A 107, 032404 (2023)]).

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Bicyclic Pyrazolines with Promising Antimicrobial Activities
Continuous flow technology is exploited for the generation of bicyclic pyrazolines via photo‐click reactions. These heterocyclic species contain a valuable 3D scaffold along with a polar succinimide moiety. Subsequent antimicrobial testing reveals that halogenated moieties such as chlorine atoms and trifluoromethoxy groups enhance the potency of these ...

Nanostructured Immunosensors. Application to the detection of Progesterone [PDF]
A novel nanostructured electrochemical immunsensor for the determination of progesterone is reported. The approach combines the properties of gold nanoparticles with the use of a graphite-Teflon composite electrode matrix, into which gold nanoparticles are incorporated by simple physical inclusion.

Enumeration of saturated and unsaturated substituted N-heterocycles [PDF]
Mathematical and computational approaches in chemistry and biochemistry fill a gap in respect to the analysis of the physicochemical features of compounds and their functionality and provide an overview of known as well as yet unknown, but hypothetically possible structures.

Assessment of xenoestrogenic exposure by a biomarker approach: application of the E-Screen bioassay to determine estrogenic response of serum extracts [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological documentation of endocrine disruption is complicated by imprecise exposure assessment, especially when exposures are mixed. Even if the estrogenic activity of all compounds were known, the combined effect of possible additive ...

A common issue in clinical drug development involves drug–drug interactions (DDI) that may lead to altered drug exposure and subsequent altered safety and efficacy of an investigational drug or concomitant medications (conmeds) in the target patient population.

The effect of environmental, physical, and nutritional factors on in vitro fertilisation [PDF]
Folliculogenesis, fertilisation and implantation of a human embryo requires unity of many different pathways. The literature review discusses folliculogensis, implantation and the potential affect that endocrine disrupting agents (EDAs) and Vitamin D can
