Nutrition and bone growth in pediatrics.

30 Aug 2009 Children's growth is a hallmark of their normal development and the association between nutrition and linear growth in children is well accepted. Growth requires an adequate supply of many different nutritional factors, some form the "building ... Read more...

Effects of apolipoprotein E genotype on blood cholesterol in adolescent girls.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Few investigations have examined whether associations between the apolipoprotein E genotype (apo E) and total cholesterol or LDL-C are modified or explained by other characteristics. The objective of this study was to explore effects of ... Read more...

Transcriptional analysis of the mammalian heart with special reference to its endocrine function.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Pharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated the crucial role of the endocrine function of the heart as mediated by the polypeptide hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. The importance of ... Read more...
