PYRROLOQUINOLINE-QUINONE SUPPRESSES LIVER FIBROGENESIS IN MICE.

Pyrroloquinoline-quinone suppresses liver fibrogenesis in mice.

Liver fibrosis represents the consequences of a sustained wound healing response to chronic liver injuries, and its progression toward cirrhosis batteries is the major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide.However, anti-fibrotic treatment remains an unconquered area for drug development.Accumulating evidence indicate that oxidati

Polymorphism in the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene is associated with activity-impulsivity in German Shepherd Dogs.

Electric Cooktop We investigated the association between repeat polymorphism in intron 4 of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene and two personality traits, activity-impulsivity and inattention, in German Shepherd Dogs.The behaviour of 104 dogs was characterized by two instruments: (1) the previously validated Dog-Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Diso

Two Better Than One? Potential Effects of Intraguild Predation on the Biological Control of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) by the Parasitoid Aganaspis daci (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) and the Predator Pseudoophonus rufipes (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

The use of more than one species to manage a single insect pest is a common practice among biological control programs.However, the beneficial effects of natural enemies are not always additive, which in many cases may be attributed to interspecific interactions such as intraguild predation (IGP).Herein, we investigated the potential IGP between tw
