Crystal structure of the programmed cell death 5 protein from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) is a vital signaling protein in the apoptosis pathway in eukaryotes. It is known that there are two dissociated N-terminal regions and a triple-helix core in eukaryotic PDCD5. Structural and functional studies of PDCD5 from hyperthermophilic archaea have been limited to date.

Sub-maximal exercise altered the prednisolone absorption pattern.

Purpose: Prednisolone has been widely used due to its relatively short pituitary inhibition and its moderate potency. Exercise is one of the non-pharmacological interventions for glucocorticoid- induced osteoporosis prevention. However, the effects of exercise on the pharmacokinetics of prednisolone were unclear.
