BsmI polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene is associated with leg extensor muscle strength in elderly men. Aging Clin Exp Res. 2010;22:198---205.Bahat, G, Saka, B, Erten, N, Ozbek, U, Coskunpinar, E, Yildiz, S, Sahinkaya, T, Karan, MA (2010) BsmI polymorphism in the ...
The activin type IIB receptor (Acvr2b) is the cell surface receptor for multiple transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) superfamily ligands, several of which regulate muscle growth in mammals. To investigate the role of the Acvr2b signaling pathway in the growth and development of skeletal mu...
This study examined whether the changes that occur in varicose veins are associated with smooth muscle cell (SMC) hypertrophy, cellular proliferation or apoptosis. Moreover, the association between SMC hypertrophy and the expression of the estrogen receptor-β (ERβ) was investigated. Varicose veins ...
Other factors include calcium shortage in the diet, vitamin D deficiency, or steatorrhea2. Muscle cramps and bone pain are common symptoms of HPT, as are perioral tingling or paresthesia in the fingers or toes, and positive Chvostek and Trousseau signs. Only a few cases of arthritis mimicking...
Medicare Part D prescription plans will start covering the weight loss drugWegovywhen patients also have documented heart disease, according to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The exact date when coverage will begin is not yet known, but could be sometime in 2024....
PNPO at mRNA and protein levels in EOC cells was decreased after transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) treatment. The inhibitory effect of TGF-β1 on PNPO expression was abolished in the presence of SB-431542, a TGF-β type I receptor kinase inhibitor. Moreover, we found that TGF-β...
5 MGP is expressed predominantly by vascular smooth muscle cells in the arterial media and chondrocytes. It contains five glutamic acid residues that can be γ-carboxylated (Glu→Gla) by the vitamin K–dependent γ-carboxylase. This step in which undercarboxylated MGP (ucMGP) changes into ...

The relatively high expression of active GM-CSF (15 kDa) found in most of the boar tissues analysed in comparison with the control liver tissue, could be related with a distinct functional state of the cytokine. It has been recently described that in liver an increase in this cytokine is ...
C20:4 is essential in many organs such as liver and brain, where it is one of the most abundant fatty acids. In skeletal muscle, C20:4 promotes myocyte growth both in vitro1 and in vivo2 through the Akt/mTOR pathway. Mainly esterified into phospholipids, it also exerts a substantial ...
