... or indirectly, they came in contact. The ancient inhabitants of Elam at a very early period adopted in principle their method of writing, and afterwards, living in isolation in the mountainous ... designs, imitating basketwork, and with the incised lines filled in with white. Later again is a buff ware, either plain or decorated with wavy lines, concentric circles, and elaborate drawings of boats ... ceramic art of Egypt reached its highest point; in the succeeding period (the beginning of the historic age) there was a decline in workmanship, exhibiting clumsy forms and bad colour, and it is...

... to be involved in locomotor activity in vertebrates inclu- ding the lamprey [41–45]. Therefore, lamprey PQRF- amide peptides may also act in the regulation of locomotor activity. In mammals, in ... results indicate that NPFF may be involved in sensory transmission in the spinal cord, including pain systems, autonomic regulation in the medulla, and neuroendocrine regulation via the hypothalamo-hypo- physeal ... cells expressing lamprey PQRF- amide peptide mRNA in the brain must be taken into account when studying the neuropeptide action. We therefore characterized the regions in the brain show- ing the expression...

Hazewind, but not then carried into effect, since these ships did not sail on their ordained expedition [*]. These principles are found set forth with more amplitude than anywhere else in the instructions...

... evidence that endomorphins ) endogenous opioid peptides in the brain ) are very efficient in protecting LDL against Cu 2+ - and AAPH-induced oxidative modifica- tion. The inhibitory activity of ... or 66.2% increase in REM, respectively. Thus, EM1 is at least twice or three times as effective as GSH or EM2 in protecting against Cu 2+ -induced apoB modification in LDL. As shown in Fig. 8B, ... Cu 2+ - induced LDL peroxidation is generally monitored by UV spectroscopy since the primary peroxidation Fig. 8. Inhibition of the increase in REM of LDL during the Cu 2+ -induced (A) or AAPH-initiated...

... (tyro- sine phosphorylation) b-catenin, a fact that precludes its binding to a-catenin and E-cadherin, thus pre- venting cell adhesion and facilitating spreading. Phosphorylation of b-catenin targets ... against p53 (Fig. 5A,D), p-p53 (Fig. 5B,E) and p-glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3; Fig. 5C,F), a serine ⁄ threonine kinase involved in various pathways including the A B Fig. 3. IL-6 levels in ... integrated approach should lead to a better understanding of the under- lying biology of living cells and organisms, resulting in turn in a more effective translation of basic dis- coveries into...
