Androgens: Biochemistry, Physiology and Clinical Significance
at length and, in part, by judicious pruning of the fine leisurely sentences composed at a time when type costs were not so high. A detailed comparison of several representative chapters with those of the third edition arouses admiration for the skill-and even devotion-with which this revision has been made. There is not a sentence of added material which is not in good context, or which has th...
متن کاملProtein-C: biochemistry, physiology, and clinical implications.
ANTICOAGULANT PATHWAY P ROTEIN-C is a vitamin-K-dependent plasma zymogen.’ After activation, activated protein-C differs from the vitamin-K-dependent plasma clotting factors in that it potently inhibits coagulation5 by inactivating factors V6’7 and VIII,7’8 and it facilitates fibrinolysis in vivo9”#{176} by elevating circulating plasminogen activator levels.tO Clinical evidence of protein-C inv...
متن کاملBiochemistry of aromatase: significance to female reproductive physiology.
The formation of estrogens in mammals via aromatase involves the relatively unique capacity to form an aromatic ring de novo in contrast to most other aromatic substances (essential amino acids) which are obtained only in the diet. The reaction is the only example of a cytochrome P450 system which resides in both the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of the cell. It occurs widely throughou...
متن کاملPesticide Biochemistry and Physiology
Type-II pyrethroids, including deltamethrin, are highly toxic to Paramecium tetraurelia, an organism that does not possess a voltage-sensitive sodium channel. Previous research has established that deltamethrin is toxic to P. tetraurelia in mortality bioassays at concentrations as low as 10210 and 10211 M under resting and depolarizing conditions, respectively. Deltamethrin, likewise, stimulate...
متن کاملPlatelets: physiology and biochemistry.
Platelets are specialized blood cells that play central roles in physiologic and pathologic processes of hemostasis, inflammation, tumor metastasis, wound healing, and host defense. Activation of platelets is crucial for platelet function that includes a complex interplay of adhesion and signaling molecules. This article gives an overview of the activation processes involved in primary and seco...
