Calcitonin gene-related peptide: physiology and pathophysiology.
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide. Discovered 30 years ago, it is produced as a consequence of alternative RNA processing of the calcitonin gene. CGRP has two major forms (α and β). It belongs to a group of peptides that all act on an unusual receptor family. These receptors consist of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) linked to an essential receptor a...
متن کاملProduction and quality control of 166Ho-Chitosan for therapeutic applications
Introduction: In this research, [166Ho]Holmium chitosan complex production is described in details, followed by determination of complex radiochemical purity, stability and biodistribution (after intra-articular injection) in wild-type male rats. Finally a Ho-166 based chitosan kit for ultimate radiosynovectomy as well as radiotherapy applications was developed. Methods: 166</s...
متن کاملPancreatic colipase: chemistry and physiology.
The first indication for the existence of a cofactor for pancreatic lipase was reported in 1910 by Rosenheim (1 ) . This paper is of some historical interest and contains the following statement: “It seems therefore that pancreatic lipase is a complex enzyme which can be separated into two inactive fractions by means of filtration, a fact which has so far not been observed in any other enzyme”....
متن کاملInsulin: Its Chemistry and Physiology
INSULIN: ITS CHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. By Hans F. Jensen. The Commonwealth Fund, New York. 1938, xii + 252 pp. $2. The interest aroused by the isolation and clinical use of insulin has resulted in the accumulation of an enormous literature. While much of this work is of a superficial nature, the task of the student seeking the important and fundamental facts concerning this hormone has not been...
متن کاملArtificial neural networks: applications in pain physiology
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the capability of ANN in predicting body behavior in pain-producing situations is evaluated. A three-layer back-propagation ANN is designed using MATLAB software. The inputs include the magnitude of stimulation in pain fibers, touch fibers and cen...
