APJ AS PROMISING THERAPEUTIC TARGET OF PEPTIDE ANALOGUES IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION- AND HYPERTENSION-INDUCED HEART FAILURE

APJ as Promising Therapeutic Target of Peptide Analogues in Myocardial Infarction- and Hypertension-Induced Heart Failure

The widely expressed G protein-coupled apelin receptor (APJ) is activated by two bioactive endogenous peptides, apelin and ELABELA (ELA).The apelin/ELA-APJ-related pathway has been found involved in the regulation of many physiological and pathological cardiovascular processes.Increasing studies are deepening the role of the APJ pathway in limiting

Description of Calling, Courtship and Mating Behaviour of Six Species of the Genus Zyginidia (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae)

The vibrational communication and mating behaviour of the graminicolous leafhoppers Zyginidia pullula, Z.ribauti, Z.scutellaris, Z.serpentina, Z.sohrab, and Z.biroi were investigated to explain why the first five species hybridize.Z.biroi was used as a control species.All species behaved in the same way and no significant statistical differences we

Niche Market and Dooryard Citrus for the HLB World

The UF-CREC Citrus Improvement Team has developed a broad citrus germplasm base, providing opportunities to Cages generate diverse and interesting and possibly lucrative selections with niche-market and dooryard potential.Several such selections are showing reasonable levels of HLB (Huanglongbing or citrus greening disease) tolerance, which is a ve
