Obesity is a risk factor of breast cancers. As leptin, a hormone mainly secreted by white
adipocytes, elicits proliferative effects in some cell types, we tested the hypothesis that leptin …

… Briefly, cells were solubilized with NaOH (0.2 M), and the radioactivity was counted directly.
… Cells were scraped on ice withbuffer A, which contained 0.25 M sucrose, 5 mM EDTA, and …

KCl, 3 mm MgCl 2 , 10 mm dithiothreitol, 0.5 mm of each dNTP, 62.5 mU RNA guard, 50 ng …

Adipocytes are estrogen-responsive cells, but the quantitative expression and transcriptional
regulation of the estrogen receptors (ER-α and ER-β) in human adipocytes and their …

Because leptin has recently been shown to induce proliferation and/or differentiation of different
cell types through different pathways, the aim of the present study was to investigate, in …

In the present study, we have explored, in vitro, the possibility that short exposure to androgens
and estrogens for 24 h may directly influence leptin expression (ARNm and secretion) in …

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of using Ricinus communis
leaf, root, seed kernel crude extracts and oil emulsion to control the diamondback moth, …

A serious metabolic syndrome combining insulin-resistance, dyslipidemia, central adiposity,
