Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPlatelet Derived Growth Factor-A mRNA Levels in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Subjects at Risk of Coronary Heart DiseaseSalman A.H. AlrokayanCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the number one cause of death in developed countries. We investigated the quantity of platelet derived growth factor-A mRNA (PDGF-A mRNA) among four different groups of diabetic and nondiabetic Saudi subjects (n = 40) at risk of CHD.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDiphenylhydantoin 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 · 9,135 accessesView PDF Cite
