Tissue-specific regulation of cytochrome c by post-translational modifications: respiration, the mitochondrial membrane potential, ROS, and apoptosis.

Cytochrome c (Cyt c) plays a vital role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). In addition, it is a key regulator of apoptosis. Cyt c has multiple other functions including ROS production and scavenging, cardiolipin peroxidation, and mitochondrial protein import.

Antisense techniques provide robust decrease in GnRH receptor expression with minimal cytotoxicity in GT1-7 cells.

Unlabelled: The episodic pattern of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion from the hypothalamus is driven by an integrated network of cells termed the GnRH pulse generator. Cultured and immortalized GnRH neurons also produce a pulsatile pattern of GnRH secretions when grown in the absence of other cell types, suggesting the presence of an intrinsic oscillator mediating GnRH secretion. The mechanisms underlying such pulsatility comprise one of the most tantalizing problems in contemporary neuroendocrinology.

Cantharidin is Superior to Trichloroacetic Acid for the Treatment of Non-mucosal Genital Warts: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Condyloma Acuminatum is a sexually transmitted viral disease caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). It is the most common viral sexually transmitted disease. In this randomized controlled trial, cantharidin was found to be more effective and better tolerated than trichloroacetic acid for the treatment of these lesions.
