Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleChronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disoder: Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 and Phosphate MetabolismWisit Cheungpasitporn, Pongsathorn Kue-A-Pai, Patompong Ungprasert et al.Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing epidemic in the United States. There are hormonal changes that develop long before the mineral changes in patients with CKD occur. Increased Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) levels first become evident when the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is below 60 mL/min/1.73m2. High serum phosphate stimulates the secretion of the Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF-23) … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 May 2013 · 6,882 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSpatial Distribution of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 in Normal and Lesioned Central Nervous System of Pleurodeles waltliiMarie Moftah, Marc Landry, Frederic Nagy, Jean-Marie CabelguenFibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) have been implicated in numerous cellular processes including proliferation, migration, differentiation and neuronal survival. One of these growth factors, Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2), is apparently implicated in the ability of the adult salamander (Pleurodeles waltlii) to recover locomotion following complete transection of the spinal cord. In a previous study, we reported up regulation of FGF2 … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 4 Sep 2012 · 7,151 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Review on the Genetic Regulation of Myogenesis and Muscle DevelopmentWuyi LiuMyogenesis of muscle tissues is known as a very complex and delicate process including many cellular differentiation and development events in animals. Here, the courses of cellular fate determination and terminal differentiation of muscle cells are systematically elaborated and the genetic regulatory network of muscle genesis is well conceived in animal organic growth and development through literature retrieval. Furthermore, the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2019 · 9,618 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSex Dimorphism in the Fgf21 Gene Expression in Liver and Adipose Tissues is Dependent on the Metabolic ConditionNadezhda Bazhan, Tatiana Jakovleva, Natalia Balyibina et al.Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) beneficially affects carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Previously, a sex-specific activation of Fgf21 expression was observed in humans and animals with metabolic diseases. It is unknown whether the sex differences in the Fgf21 expression are manifested in response to the natural physiological situations of fasting and refeeding. The aim of this work was to determine liver, White … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2019 · 8,158 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiphenylhydantoin Promotes Proliferation in The Subventricular Zone and Dentate GyrusAlma Y. Galvez-Contreras, Rocio E. Gonzalez-Castaneda, Sonia Luquin et al.Problem statement: Diphenylhydantoin (phenytoin) is an antiepileptic drug that generates hyperplasia in some tissue by stimulating Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR) and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor beta (PDGFR-β) receptors and by increasing serum levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, FGF2 or FGF-β). Neural stem cells in the adult brain have been isolated from three regions: the Subventricular Zone (SVZ) lining the … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2012 · 9,141 accessesView PDF Cite
