ARRHYTHMIAS AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY SESSION TITLE: ARRHYTHMIAS IN EXPERIMENTAL MODELS II An Xie, Anyu Zhou, Hong Liu, Guangbin Shi, Kenneth R Boheler, Samuel C Dudley Circulation. 2015;132:A12435 Abstract Introduction: Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is known to contribute to spontaneous activity via the cytoplasmic Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (NCX). Mitochondria are known to participate in Ca2+ cycling. We studied the […]
By Steve Edelson, Executive Editor Ammonia has long been viewed as a toxic cellular by-product of glutamine metabolism that has little or no functionality. New findings by a group at Pfizer Inc. now suggest this may not always be the case. The team found that in tumors, ammonia functions as a diffusible signal that […]
Ayaz Najafov and Dario R. Alessi1 Medical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation Unit, College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland A remarkable trademark of most tumors is their ability to break down glucose by glycolysis at a vastly higher rate than in normal tissues, even when oxygen is copious. This phenomenon, known […]
Water-Friendly SAC Vitamin-D3 Provide by CBHI CANADA, 16, NOV, 2017, http://cbhi.info/ SAC Vitamin-D3, the first biotechnology in the world, has developed for many years with SAC (Sigma Anti-bonding Calcium carbonate) formulation. Our laboratory team succeeds that this very special product combines calcium ion (Ca2+) with fat-soluble Vitamin-D3 (Cholecalciferol) in water steadily. With this, people […]
