Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effects of relaxin (RLX) on hypertensive disorders pregnancy (HDP) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) using a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor-induced HDP murine model.

The bacterial growth inhibitory substance found in milk is called lactenin in this paper. It is stable for 1(1/2) hours at pH 4 and at pH 10 and for longer periods in neutral solution. It is not associated with salts and carbohydrates and may be separated from them by dialysis. Lactenin is removed by agents which precipitate the proteins of whey. Part of these proteins may be hydrolyzed by tryp...

1. The crystal growth inhibitory activity of mixtures of known inhibitors and of mixtures of known inhibitors with normal urine was determined in calcium oxalate monohydrate and hydroxyapatite seeded crystal growth systems. 2. The inhibitory activity of the mixtures was compared with the measured activity of the individual components of the mixtures. All mixtures had inhibitory activity equal t...

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulates the proliferation of many cells and it is found in a wide variety of normal or transformed tissues. As demonstrated here, bFGF is also present in cultured human Ewing's sarcoma cells. Unexpectedly, however, bFGF isolated from these cells inhibits their own proliferation, indicating that bFGF can act as an endogenous (autocrine) growth inhibitor f...
