We demonstrated recently that in Chinese hamster ovary cells stably expressing human recombinant endothelin(A) receptors (CHO-ET(A)R), endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates two types of Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channels (designated NSCC-1 and NSCC-2) and a store-operated Ca2+ channel (SOCC), which can be distinguished by Ca(2+) channel blockers such as 1-[beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxy]-4-m...

Wheat Triticum aestivum L. is one of the most important agricultural products, and meets highest nutritional needs humans in various countries. This study aims to evaluate compatibility stability 25 wheat genotypes for two crop years five regions (Karaj, Qazvin, Isfahan, Varamin Damavand) a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results variance analysis additive main eff...

A retarded time superposition principle is formulated and proved for two-particle correlation function in a multispecies relativistic, and fully electromagnetic plasma. This principle is used to obtain the relativistic collision operator. Starting from the relativistic Klimontovich equation, the statistical (Liouville) average of the Klimontovich equation yields an expression for the collision ...

The G12 subfamily of heterotrimeric G-proteins consists of two members, G12 and G13. Gene-targeting studies have revealed a role for G13 in blood vessel development. Mice lacking the subunit of G13 die around embryonic day 10 as the result of an angiogenic defect. On the other hand, the physiological role of G12 is still unclear. To address this issue, we generated G 12-deficient mice. In contr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the stability, postural adjustments and contributions of sensory information for postural control in children. METHODS 40 boys and 40 girls were equally divided into groups of 5, 7, 9 and 12 years (G5, G7, G9 and G12). All children were submitted to dynamic posturography using a modified sensory organization test, using four sensory conditions: combining stable or sway r...

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) plays an important role in the regulation of renal tubular and vascular function and a deficiency in the renal formation of 20-HETE has been linked to the development of hypertension. The cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) gene encodes for the major CYP enzyme responsible for the synthesis of 20-HETE in the human kidney. We screened two human sampling panels ...

We prove that in smooth Markovian continuous–time economies with potentially complete asset markets, Radner equilibria with endogenously complete markets exist. JEL subject classification: D52, D53, G12 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 91B50, 91G80

Drought stress is a severe environmental constraint to plant productivity. In this study, gene expression of WRKY1 and EREBP1 genes and activity of two enzymes were investigated in two genotypes, G9 (as resistance) and G12 (as susceptible) of 10 days-old lemon balm seedlings. Experiments were done according to factorial design on the base of completely randomized design with three replications ...

Group A rotaviruses are the main causative agent of infantile gastroenteritis. The segmented nature of the viral genome allows reassortment of genome segments, which can generate genetic variants. In this study, we characterized the diversity of the VP7, VP4 (VP8*), VP6, NSP4, and NSP5 genes of the rotaviruses that circulated from 2005 to 2011 in the Triângulo Mineiro (TM) region of Brazil. Sam...
