Primary structure and organ-specific expression of the rat aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor gene.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor (AhRR) is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix/Per-Arnt-Sim (bHLH/PAS) family of transcription factors, providing a negative feedback loop with a xenobiotic or endogenous ligand-dependent signal transduction mediated by the AhR. We sequenced full-length AhRR mRNA extracted from the heart of a male Wistar rat injected intraperitoneally with 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) 24 h before. The 95.

Oral home telecare tutorials for the community-dwelling elderly.

The objectives of this empirical study were to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative alterations experienced by community-dwelling elderly and their families when employing oral home telecare (a care service system based on interactive motion-picture transmission between households and healthcare providers). The subjects were four community-dwelling elderly in Kuriyama-cho, Hokkaido. The tutorial programs were designed to provide health information and education, as well as to enhance life skills related to exercise and communication.
