Thyroid hormones exert their effects through alpha (TRα1) and beta (TRβ1 and TRβ2) receptors. Here we describe a child with classic features of hypothyroidism (growth retardation, developmental ...

Researchers performed an analysis of molecular variance in 59 haplotypes of the IFNAR gene, departing from monkeypox virus, camelpox virus, buffalopox virus, ectromelia virus, cowpox virus ...

Now, a potential alternative strategy to treating heart failure by targeting molecules downstream of beta ... alpha MAPK rescues cardiomyopathy induced by overexpressed beta2-adrenergic receptor ...

Blocking cell receptors for glucagon ... the researchers injected human alpha and beta cells into immunodeficient NOD mice -- just enough cells to produce sufficient insulin to make the animals ...

Fan and his colleagues deleted three different forms of the receptors (alpha, beta, and gamma) in the muscle tissues of mice and examined the resulting effects. They found that while the most ...

Beta-adrenergic signaling mechanisms are of ... have identified genetic polymorphisms in the human ß-adrenergic receptor genes; some of this variation predicts changes in protein sequence ...

Vasopressors can act on the alpha-1, beta-1, and beta-2 adrenergic receptors. They also can act on dopamine receptors. These drugs stimulate smooth muscle contraction in the blood vessels.

G-protein coupled receptors regulate hormone secretions ... Within islets, beta cells secrete insulin, and alpha cells secrete glucagon. Scientists have identified three additional cell types ...

Beta-adrenergic blockers function as ... organ responses to catecholamine drugs that he labeled alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor mediated. Fifty-year history In 1958 the compound ...

The new study, published in Science on June 24, used cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to compare the spike protein from the original virus with that the Alpha and Beta variants. The structural ...

Fan and his colleagues deleted three different forms of the receptors (alpha, beta, and gamma) in the muscle tissues of mice and examined the resulting effects. They found that while the most ...
