Variability patterns of dehydrogenases versus peptide hormones and proteases/antiproteases

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment

although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, hormones, and 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) results in raised intracranial pressure (ICP) leading to papilledema, visual dysfunction, and headaches. Obese females of reproductive age are predominantly affected, but the underlying pathological mechanisms behind IIH remain unknown. This review provides an overview of pathogenic factors that could result in IIH with particular focus on hormones and...

Influence of Thyroid Hormones on L-alpha-glycerophosphate Dehydrogenases and Other Dehydrogenases in Various Organs of the Rat.

The effect of thyroid hormone in raising the rate of metabolism in warm blooded animals is well established, but there is no adequate explanation of this phenomenon. Schryver (I) in 1905, and, more clearly, Rohrer (2) in 1924 demonstrated an increased rate of oxygen consumption by excised tissues from animals in which the metabolic rate was enhanced by desiccated thyroid. Since then many invest...

Types of Peptide Hormones: Oxytocin and Vasopressin

the effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions

two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
