Human essential hypertension has a multifactorial origin and is caused by a delicate interaction between susceptibility genes and environmental factors. Candidate genes are selected from the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) ...

This paper reports the first synthesized Pt(IV) complex with ethylenediamine-N,N-di-3-propionato ligand (eddp). The crystal structure of trans-[Pt(eddp)Cl-2] . H2O complex has been determined. Pt(IV) has a distorted ...

Screening for polymorphisms in the human type 1 angiotensin II receptor locus (AGTR1) has led to the identification of an A1166C transversion in the Y-untranslated region. This molecular variant, C-1166, has been linked ...

Radioactive silver Ag-110m is not a fission product, but as a contaminant originating from Chernobyl, was registered in many European countries. The environmental impact of radioactive silver was specially expressed in the ...

The sorption of cesium ions from aqueous solutions on composite sorbents was investigated in static (by the batch method) and dynamic (on column) conditions. The composite sorbents consisted of copper hexacyanoferrate ...

On the base of property to enter into myocardial cells as a calcium channel blocker, verapamil was labeled with technetium-99m in order to investigate the possibility to obtain new radiopharmaceutical for myocardial imaging. ...

Purpose of this work was to synthesize several cis-/trans- isomer pairs of the platinum(II) complexes, and study the extent and the mode of their antiproliferative activity on HeLa cells. Six platinum(II) isomer pairs have ...

The electrochemical and transport properties and thermal stability of epoxy coatings electrodeposited on aluminium and modified aluminium surfaces (anodized phosphatized and chromatized-phosphatized aluminium) have been ...

Changes in the pharmaceutical L-adrenaline-D-hydrogentartrate, incorporated in KBr matrices, induced by a pulsed carbon-dioxide Transversely Excited Atmospheric (TEA) laser, were observed. Modifications of the sample were ...
