Moreover, it constitutes a necessary step in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in alcohol-induced effect in human hepatocellula[r]
Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) who are divided into two groups according to the insulin and DHEA-S levels, it was shown that individuals with lower insu-lin and higher DHEAS have greater survival than re-spective counterparts [9]. Low concentrations of DHEA-S are associated with an increased ris[r]
