The existence of β1-, β3-, and β4-subunits in whole colonic tissue (4) and distinct splice variants of the α-subunit, as well as other regulatory proteins (50), raises the possibility that BK channels with varying composition and responsiveness to PKA-mediated phosphorylation may be present in colonic epithelia.
Furthermore, all these hydrogels exhibit excellent tuneable pH, thermo and salt responsiveness which depend upon the composition of the polymer gels.
To assess the efficacy of ciclesonide, a novel corticosteroid pro-drug, we compared its effect on lung function, airway responsiveness to inhaled AMP, the composition of induced sputum, and the level of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) with the effect of budesonide in patients with asthma.
It is possible that the stress generated by very early intervention in specimen development could offset the balance of microbial intestinal composition or immune responsiveness.
The expression profiles of relevant genes in developing grape berries were indicative of distinct sets of cytokinin-related genes controlling the quantity and composition of, and responsiveness to, cytokinin species accumulating in the fruit during different stages of development.
An explanation for the retention in HSP72 responsiveness can be found when the composition of the complete carboxyl terminal sequence is examined.
Canada and her colleagues observed that teacher responsiveness varied as a function of gender composition of the classroom.
Phenotypes have been grouped into 5 categories (body composition phenotypes, glucose and insulin responsiveness, lipid homeostasis, cardiovascular performance and adipokines/cytokines) that reflect major components of MetS.
Dose-responsiveness between GH doses and changes of body composition was examined.
The poor ability to mount protective antibody responses in aging is primarily the outcome of dramatic alterations in the composition of B cell compartments, and the inefficient functional responsiveness of the peripheral pool.
