Ethinylestradiol (EE) is one of the key constituents of oral contraceptives. Major metabolites of EE in humans are the glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, EE-3-O-glucuronide (EE-G) and EE-3-O-sulfate (EE-S). In the present study, transport of EE-G and EE-S by the human multidrug resistance proteins MRP1, MRP2, and MRP3 was investigated using inside-out membrane vesicles, isolated from Sf9 cells...

BACKGROUND Expressed emotion (EE) is a measure of the family environment that has been demonstrated to be a reliable psychosocial predictor of relapse in schizophrenia. However, in recent years some prominent nonreplications of the EE-relapse relationship have been published.

BACKGROUND Even at the first episode of psychosis, high expressed emotion (EE) characterises over half of patient-carer relationships. This study compared a carer appraisal model of EE with the ability of illness factors to predict EE at the first episode. AIMS To investigate the utility of a carer appraisal model of EE in first-episode psychosis. METHOD We compared high- and low-EE carers ...

aim : this study aimed at determining the prevalence of hiatal hernia (hh) in patients with endoscopic erosive esophagitis (ee). background : gastro-esophageal reflux disease (gerd) is one of the most common problems all over the world. this may lead to erosive esophagitis. previous studies have demonstrated that hh has an important role in the pathogenesis of reflux disease. the rising prevale...

International Journal of Exercise Science 6(3) : 217-229, 2013. The purpose was to determine the accuracy of the GT3X+ and Actiheart monitors for estimating energy expenditure (EE) and steps. Additionally, to investigate agreement between waistand wrist-mounted GT3X+ EE outputs. Nineteen participants (mean age=30) completed three treadmill walking trials at selfselected slow, medium, and fast s...
