The studies on the effect of soy protein in animal models of obesity are summarized in Table 1. Iritani and co-workers [37] studied the effects of dietary soy protein on body weight, plasma and liver triacylglyc-erol concentrations, and lipogenic enzyme gene ex-pression in livers of genetical[r]

microarray technique has been used to evaluate the global gene expression in HCC as well as HCC-derived cell lines [13-16]. Moreover, HepG2 cells can be used to analyze the effect of ethanol on gene expression in HCC, based on the fact that HepG2 cells retain the genomic expression of HCC [15, 17, 1[r]

Critical for the usefulness of this system was the identification of specific amino acid substitutions, i.e., cell culture-adaptive changes, that increased the efficiency of replication initiation by several orders of magnitude [9].

A very early virologic response (VEVR) having a negative RNA at week 4 correlates with the likelihood of an SVR [5]. Recent studies h[r]

As an example we presented the finding that maternal use of loratadine in early pregnancy was associated with a roughly doubled risk for infant hypospadias. We concluded: “The finding can still be random, but causality cannot be dismissed, even though the mechanism of action is not understood”. A re[r]
