It has been proposed that organic nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, act by producing nitric oxide (NO). However, the biochemical pathway for NO formation from GTN is not well understood. In the present study, we showed that nitrate formation from GTN, by isolated rat hepatocytes, was inhibited about 50% when cellular glutathione w...

background: despite the implementation of new training programs, neglecting individual differences in terms of learning styles can be taken into account as one of the reasons for poor levels of self-care behaviors in patients suffering from diabetes. aim: the purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of training according to the learning styles on self-care behaviors among individu...

The first time I realised that I looked different was when a boy called me “fat chin” at primary school. Thirty years later I still remember the burning shame and humiliation. I was born with cherubism, a rare genetic condition which is associated with variable degrees of abnormal bony overgrowth of the lower part of the face. I started to show signs of this when I was 4. Before then I looked l...

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C(15)H(17)NO(2)S, which was synthesized from methane-sulfonyl chloride and dibenzyl-amine, are packed in anti-parallel arrays along the c axis, with the methyl group of one mol-ecule dovetailed between the two phenyl rings of the next mol-ecule. Along any such array, the sulfonyl O atoms protrude alternately up and down.
