A new siliconized-glass fiber as support for protein-chemical analysis of electroblotted proteins. A new hydrophobic glass-fiber support is presented, which is well suited to the electrophoretic transfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gels and subsequen... C Eckerskorn,W Mewes,H Goretzki,... -...
For example, high doses of resveratrol can cause inflammation of the heart, dilatation of renal tubules, papillary necrosis, acute inflammation of the pelvic area, and death from severe kidney disease.
