A novel neuropeptide which stimulates adenylate cyclase in rat anterior pituitary cell cultures
was isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues. Its amino acid sequence was revealed as: …

The chemistry of diiron-dioxygen complexes2 is of particular importance to gain insight into
the structure and functions of hemerythrin (Hr), 3 the R2 protein of ribonucleotide reductase (…

The present study was performed in order to clarify the mechanism by which interleukin-1 (IL-1)
activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The iv administration of IL-1 into …

It has recently been demonstrated by three independent research groups including ours
that interleukin 1 (IL-1), a polypeptide hormone produced by activated monocytes or …

A six-coordinate bis(μ-oxo)nickel(III) complex, [Ni 2 (μ-O) 2 (Me 3 -tpa) 2 ] 2+ (1), was
synthesized by the reaction of [Ni 2 (μ-OH) 2 (Me 3 -tpa) 2 ] 2+ (2) with 1 equiv of hydrogen …

SEA0400 is a potent and selective Na + /Ca 2+ exchanger (NCX) inhibitor. We evaluated the
inhibitory effects of SEA0400 on Na + i -dependent 45 Ca 2+ uptake and whole-cell Na + /…

Transformation of (μ-η2: η2-peroxo) dicopper (II) complexes bearing sterically bulky tridentate
N, N′, N′′-trisubstituted tacn2 to square pyramidal bis (μ-oxo) dicopper (III) complexes …

We examined the membrane topology and functional importance of residues in regions of
the Na + /Ca 2+ exchanger NCX1 encompassing the conserved internal α repeats by …

accepted January 16, 2009; published March 10, 2009) We have synthesized a new
superconductor ZnNyNi3 with Tc $3 K. The crystal structure is of the same antiperovskite-type as …

Various ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) point mutations cause catecholamine-induced
polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), a life-threatening arrhythmia evoked by diastolic …
