Diet and ovarian cancer : a population-based cohort of 60 000 women
(2005-05-06)
.0 (95% CI, 1.2-3.4; P trend = 0.01) for the highest versus
the lowest quartile of lactose intake. High consumption of milk, the main
source of lactose, was also associated with a greater risk of serous
ovarian cancer. The multivariate RR for women who...
Chemoattractants as causative agents, biomarkers and therapeutic targets in vascular pathology
(2006-09-22)
Atherosclerosis and restenosis are driven by chronic immune response in the vascular wall. This involves cell migration into and within the vessel wall, cell proliferation as well as accumulation of lipids in the vessel ...
The insulin-like growth factor system : effects of circulating proteases
(2005-08-18)
factors. In scrum most IGF circulate in a ternary complex with IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) and the acid labile subunit (ALS). The affinity between IGF and IGFBP-3 exceeds that between IGF and the type 1 IGF receptor demonstrating that most...
Synthetic studies of marine indole alkaloids and related systems

(2005-04-27)
Viridans group streptococci (VGS) are inhabitants in the oral cavity and in the gastrointestinal tract. They cause severe infections, they are responsible for up to 39 % of the cases of septicaemia in neutropenic patients ...

Cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary heart disease and stroke, is the most common cause of death world wide, with a prevalence that is expected to increase. The consequences of the modern lifestyle such as obesity ...
Novel insulin-like growth factor-binding protein proteases : detection and characterization
(2006-10-07)
the availability of IGFs (IGF-I and IGF-II) to their receptors. In the circulation IGFs and IGFBP-3 or IGFBP-5 can bind an acid-labile subunit (ALS) to form a high molecular mass complex, which constitutes a circulating reservoir of IGFs. Post...
Health economic epidemiology of obstructive airway diseases
