Variable interaction between the Bw4 epitope of HLA-B and the polymorphic KIR3DL1/S1 system of inhibitory and activating NK cell receptors diversifies the development, repertoire formation, and response of human NK cells. KIR3DL1*004, a common KIR3DL1 allotype, in combination with Bw4(+) HLA-B, slows progression of HIV infection to AIDS. Analysis in this study of KIR3DL1*004 membrane traffic in...

The aim of this study was to conduct a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study to investigate the effects of D-004, a lipid extract of the Roystonea regia fruit that prevents testosterone- and phenylepinephrine-induced prostate hyperplasia in rodents, on plasma oxidative markers in healthy men. We enrolled male volunteers (20-55 years) in good health and without lower urinary trac...

D-004, a lipid extract of Roystonea regia fruits that contains oleic, lauric and myristic acids as major components inhibits alpha1-adrenoreceptors-mediated contractile responses in isolated rat vas deferens and prostate trips; no study has demonstrated a similar effect for oleic, lauric or myristic acids individually. Therefore, the effects of D-004 (250 microg/mL), oleic (100 microg/mL), laur...

We present results and first epoch parsec-scale images from a monitoring program on five γ–ray loud blazars selected on the basis of their total flux density variability. We observed 0048−097, 0235+164, 0954+658, 1510−089 and 1749+096 with the Very Long Baseline Array simultaneously at 8.4 GHz and 22 GHz. Comparison between our high quality images and previous results from the literature sugges...

Based on the two epochs EVN archive data from OH line observations of IIZw 096, we confirm that high-resolution emission in this source mainly comes spots (OH1 and OH2) comp D1 merging system. We found no significant variations emission. The 1665 MHz is detected at about 6 $\sigma$ level OH1 region by combining epoch observations. shows brightest CO, HCO+ emission, as well multi-band radio cont...
