The contribution of HDL to adrenal steroidogenesis appears to be different between mice and humans.In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that a difference in lipoprotein profile may be the underlying cause.Hereto, we determined the impact of HDL deficiency on the adrenal glucocorticoid output in genetically modified mice with a human-like

Abstract We report the isolation a halophilic bacterium that degrades both aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons as the sole sources of carbon at high salinity from produced water.Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA-gene sequences shows the isolate is a close relative of Modicisalibacter here tunisiensis isolated from an oil-field water in Tunisia.We d

We report a monosomy 18p syndrome in a male patient with polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PAS) type IIIA.A 34-year-old mentally retarded diabetic male patient with short stature, wide earlaps, old-looking face, straight nasal bone, atrophic mouth, drooping cheeks, full teeth loss, and soft, weak and sparse white hair read more was admitted to the

BACKGROUND: Within-field multiple crop species intercropping is well documented and used for disease control, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear.As roots are the primary organ for perceiving signals in the soil from neighboring plants, root behavior may play an important role in soil-borne disease control.PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In two yea
