The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that the decreased renal tubular reabsorption of calcium observed in estrogen deficiency is associated with a local regulation of either PTHrP or PTH/PTHrP receptor genes in the kidney. Rats were randomly sham-operated (S) or ovariectomized rec

BACKGROUND. Fas antigen/CD 95 is a 45-kDa transmembrane protein that can initiate intracellular signaling pathways, leading to apoptosis when it is clustered on the cell surface. A recent report claiming that the ventral prostate glands of lpr -/-mutant mice (lacking functional fas antigen) do not r
## BACKGROUND. Studies of genes that may inhibit growth or induce death of cells are facilitated greatly by tightly controlled expression of those genes. A promising system for control of transgene expression over a wide range is the tetracycline-repressible transactivator (tTA) system developed b
Fucosylated glycoconjugates play an essential role in central nervous system development, but the regulation of expression of these molecules is not well understood. The final biosynthetic step for a major group of cerebellar fucosylated glycoconjugates (those bearing the developmentally regulated e
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a potential treatment for cholinergic dysfunction associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In rats, NGF activates gene expression of the acetylcholine synthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and prevents age-and lesion-induced degeneration of basal forebrain (
Even though previous studies have shown that transcripts encoding the murine retinoid X receptor β₯ (RXRβ₯) are present in skeletal muscle of mouse embryos and that cultured myoblasts are induced to differentiate upon retinoid treatment, a function for RXRβ₯ and retinoids in mammalian myogenesis has no
