چکیده
The calcium channel plays a key role in controlling many physiological processes in the body. Drugs that block the calcium channel have proven clinically effective for the treatment of a multitude of cardiovascular disorders. The elucidation of the precise mechanism of action of these drugs involves cloning the calcium channels on which they act. Genetic manipulation of these cloned channels is beginning to reveal the binding sites for the calcium channel blocking drugs and may lead to the development of more specific agents. {Hypertension 1992; 19:19-24)

متن کاملInteraction of Memantine with Homocysteine on the Apoptosis in the Rat Hippocampus cells
It has been hypothesized that elevated plasma Homocysteine (Hcy) plays a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and age-related cognitive decline. The mechanism of Hcy neurotoxicity in the brain is controversial as well Hcy is a ligand of NMDA receptor. Memantine, an uncompetitive antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors approved for the treatment of moderate to severe ...
متن کاملThe role of polymorphism of TaqI in Vitamin D receptor gene and risk of ovarian cancer in women of North India
Background & objective: Ovarian cancer mortality is associated with lower regional sunlight exposure. Vitamin D and its metabolites are best known for their action in calcium and bone metabolism. However, epidemiological studies have suggested that an increased ovarian cancer risk is associated with decreased production of vitamin D. The vitamin D signaling pathway is involved in a wide variety...
متن کاملThe measurement technologies of thyrotropin receptor antibodies from the past to the present
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSH-R) autoantibodies are the main cause of Graveschr('39') disease and its external thyroid manifestations such as ophtalmopathy and dermatopathy. These antibodies are functionally different and are commonly called TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs). In fact, TRAbs are a set of autoantibodies including TSHR-stimulating antibodies (TSAbs), TSHR- blocking antib...
متن کاملRNA Extraction from Animal and Human\'s Cancerous Tissues: Does Tissue Matter?
The reliability of gene expression profiling based technologies and methods to find transcriptional differences representative for the original samples is influenced by the quality of the extracted RNA. Hence, RNA extraction is the first step to investigate the gene expression and its function. Consequently, the quality of extracted RNA is really significant. Correspondingly, this research was ...
