On the other hand, repeated administration of MDMA results in persistent deficits in markers of serotonergic (5-HT) nerve terminals that have been viewed as indicative of 5-HT neurotoxicity.
This is based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data showing that even when denosumab is given only every 12 weeks, it leads to maintenance of adequate serum concentrations of the drug as well as persistent suppression of markers of bone turnover during the longer dosing interval.
To determine whether a correlation exists between markers for persistent Chlamydia pneumoniae infection, respiratory morbidity, and the metabolic syndrome.
