Journal ArticleDOI
Association of HLA—B8, DRw3, and Anti‐Acetylcholine Receptor Antibodies in Myasthenia Gravis
TL;DR: Findings support the possibility of the existence of immune response genes in the HLA-B, DRw segment of the major histocompatibility complex which are concerned in the response to or recognition of autoantigens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of the chaperone protein calnexin and the acetylcholine receptor beta-subunit in the assembly and cell surface expression of the receptor
TL;DR: It is indicated that intracellular association of the receptor subunits with the β-subunit increases the pool of fully assembled receptors available for transport to the cell surface, presumably by protection from degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nicotine Activates and Up-Regulates Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Bronchial Epithelial Cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that chronic nicotine exposure up-regulates nAChR activity in developing lung, and that nA ChR activity can be further modified by tyrosine phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progression to clinically diagnosed and treated diabetes from impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glycaemia.
TL;DR: The objective is to evaluate the risk of diabetes in subjects with impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) as compared with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and normal glucose tolerance and to establish a baseline level of glucose tolerance.
