Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that function in the extracellular matrix to degrade connective tissues. While it is clear that certain induced skeletal muscle pathologies promote increased expression of MMP-2 and heat shock protein- 72 (HSP-72), the relationship between muscle disuse and expression of MMP-2 and HSP-72 in muscles is unknown. These experiments tested the hypoth...

  The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of oral recombinant bovine somatotropin (RBS) 1% on growth performance of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). 600 rainbow trout weighing 46±1 grams were randomly allotted in two groups including: 1) the control group and 2) RBS treated group, each in three replicates. The fish were hand-fed with commercial pellets. The fish received 200g R...

In 25 outpatients with essential hypertension, sodium sensitivity, defined as the difference in mean arterial pressure (delta MAP) between 2 weeks of high-sodium (300 mmol per day) and 2 weeks of low-sodium (LS) intake (50-100 mmol per day), was studied in relation to the plasma norepinephrine (NE) level, NE release, and pressor response to intravenous NE. In addition, forearm blood flow (FBF) ...
