Nutrient Deficiency Tolerance in Citrus Is Dependent on Genotype or Ploidy Level

Linear Growth Deficiency in b-Thalassemia Patients: Is It Growth Hormone Dependent?

Background: b-Thalassemia major is a serious medical problem.Growth retardation is commonly seen in poly-transfused b-thalassemia patients. The exact mechanism of short stature in childrenwith thalassemia major is not well understood, however, it isbelieved to be multi-factorial.Objective: To study the growth state and its relationship to growthhormone (GH) deficiency in b-thalassemia patients....

Many of these persons request information concerning the citrus industry or its products. One party wants to know something about a new process for extracting citrus juices; another i...

The Effect of Protein Length on the Ploidy Level and Environmental Tolerance of Organisms

This paper summarizes previous work linking protein aggregation to the heterozygosity of organisms. It also cites the literature showing a correlation between species' morphological complexity and the lengths of their proteins. These two findings are combined to form a theory that may potentially explain the ploidy levels of organisms. Organisms can employ heterozygosity to inhibit protein aggr...

Effect of endothelin 1 genotype on blood pressure is dependent on physical activity or fitness levels.

Contributions of the DNA sequence variation at the endothelin 1 locus to the risk of hypertension and to endurance training-induced changes in blood pressure were investigated in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study and the Health, Risk Factors, Exercise Training and Genetics Family Study cohorts. We identified 586 normotensive control subjects and 607 incident hypertensive case subjects from...
