Journal ArticleDOI

Asthma severity is associated with body mass index and early menarche in women.

TL;DR: The hypothesis of hormonal factors involved in the severity of asthma, which was unrelated to sex, increased with BMI in women but not in men, and the association was stronger in women with early menarche than in women without earlyMenarche.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo and in vitro peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor polymerization: functional significance in drug ligand and cholesterol binding.

TL;DR: Data indicate that reactive oxygen species induce in vivo and in vitro the formation of covalent PBR polymers and that PBR polymerization is a dynamic process modulating the function of this receptor in cholesterol transport and other cell-specific PBR-mediated functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and functional study of reconstituted peripheral benzodiazepine receptor.

TL;DR: The data suggest that a PBR monomer is the minimal functional unit, binding drug ligands and cholesterol, as well as the ability to bind both the PBR drug ligand isoquinoline carboxamide PK 11195 and cholesterol with nanomolar affinities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationships of active and passive smoking to total IgE in adults of the Epidemiological Study of the Genetics and Environment of Asthma, Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness, and Atopy (EGEA).

TL;DR: Results show that an increase in total IgE in relation to active smoking may be evidenced even in asthmatic probands despite the healthy smoker effect, andceptible subjects, such as women who are first-degree relatives of asthmatics, may increase total IgEs in connection to passive smoking.
