Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone. Recent genome-wide scans have mapped a
susceptibility locus for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome to chromosome 3q27, where …

Adiponectin (Ad) is a hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates energy homeostasis
and glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the signaling pathways that mediate the …

… For integrity of the elementary unit, hydrophobic interactions of P25 with H-chain(s) and
interactions between H-chain(s) and N-linked oligosaccharide chains of P25 were suggested to …

… Poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHA)s are commercially produced as biodegradable plastics.
In the biosynthetic pathways of PHA, the last step is the chain growth polymerization of …

… For example, the solubility, crystal morphology, particle size, hygroscopicity, compressibility,
and bulk density of a drug can significantly affect the final tablet’s characteristics, such as …

… The conductivity of the polyaniline/SPS complex was measured to be 0.005 S/cm. The
value increased to 0.15 S/cm with HCl doping. The enzymatic approach is claimed to offer …

… short-lived endothelium-derived relaxing factor(s) (EDRF), causing relaxation of underlying
… Diffusible factor(s) which mediate these constrictive reactions have yet to be identified. …

Agonist-induced activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is known
to cause adipocyte differentiation and insulin sensitivity. The biological role of PPARγ was …

… In search of the possible existence of endothelin-related peptide(s) at the DNA level, we
have encountered three distinct human genes for putative endothelin precursors. Interestingly, …

… component appeared abruptly, reached a peak within 0.5 s and then rapidly decayed (Fig.
1 ac); it occurred while there was little or no change in average [Ca“"], (Fig. 1a-c). …
