BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory biomarkers and adipocytokines (IBA) may contribute to atherosclerosis by promoting vascular inflammation. The association between IBA and coronary artery calcium (CAC), a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, is not well defined in South Asians (SA). We hypothesized that IBA (high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], adip...

The presence of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) as an endogenous auxin in Arabidopsis has been recently demonstrated. However, the in vivo role of IBA remains to be elucidated. We present the characterization of a semi-dominant mutant that is affected in its response to IBA, but shows a wild-type response to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the predominant and most studied form of auxin. We have named t...

To help clarify the mechanisms by which volatile anaesthetics act on neuronal Ca21 channel currents (IBa), the effects of isoflurane were studied on IBa in rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells. Voltage-dependent IBa were pharmacologically subdivided into L-, Nand P/Q-types, and toxin-resistant IBa. At clinically relevant concentrations, isoflurane inhibited the L-, Nand P/Q-types, but not toxin...

Polar transport of the auxin indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) has recently been shown to occur in Arabidopsis (Arabidopis thaliana) seedlings, yet the physiological importance of this process has yet to be fully resolved. Here we describe the first demonstration of altered IBA transport in an Arabidopsis mutant, and show that the resistant to IBA (rib1) mutation results in alterations in growth, dev...

Reactive oxygen species and redox signaling undergo synergistic and antagonistic interactions with phytohormones to regulate protective responses of plants against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, molecular insight into the nature of this crosstalk remains scarce. We demonstrate that the hydrogen peroxide-responsive UDP-glucosyltransferase UGT74E2 of Arabidopsis thaliana is involved in the...

367 followed by addition which is completed in one clock unit time. The DFT is computed using a systolic cell described in [15]. For IBA-1 and IBA-2 the computation of the common connection polynomial is done by processing rows or columns serially. The computations of the connection polynomials for individual rows or columns in the case of Blahut's 2-D burst error correction are done concurrent...
