(2008)
To establish the relationships between quantitative perfusion computed tomography (CT) parameters-specifically, primary tumor blood flow, blood volume, transit time, and permeability surface-area product-and immunohistologic ...

Evidence for associations between common polymorphisms of estrogen receptor beta gene with homocysteine and nitric oxide
(2006-06)
Homocysteine and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) affect nitric oxide (NO) concentration, thereby contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both amino acids can be reduced in vivo by estrogen. Variation in the estrogen ...
Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and markers of lipid and glucose metabolism in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
(2006-03)
The hypocholesterolemic effects of soy foods are well established, and it has been suggested that isoflavones are responsible for this effect. However, beneficial effects of isolated isoflavones on lipid biomarkers of ...
