Cannabis is the most widely used drug in the world. It is also the commonest recreational drug consumed by pregnant women. In western countries, up to 20% of pregnant women are exposed to cannabis during pregnancy [1]. In the USA, while fetal exposure to tobacco decreases, cannabis use du...
Long-term exposure to testosterone is thought to promote BP elevation; it may compromise renal function and impair vascular reactivity.45 Multiple abnormalities, including sympathoactivation, have been implicated in these effects. Testosterone enhances vasoconstriction in response to adrenergic agonists.46 ...
Renal function was assessed and analyzed with serum cystatin C concentrations; estimated glomerular filtration rate; risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage renal disease criteria; and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [3C]. Blood transfusion [SEDA-15, 529; SEDA-37, 404; SEDA-38, 336...
The genetic correlations among all pairs of MetS components were computed using LDSC regression (Fig.1a). These correlations were then used for the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO)19test and parallel analysis. The KMO test estimated a sampling adequacy of 0.73, suggesting that the data were suitable...

The presence of G4s is often linked to a more favorable local chromatin environment for the activation and execu- tion of regulatory function of cCREs, potentially attributable to the formation of G4 secondary structures. Finally, we discovered that G4-associated cC...
