Journal ArticleDOI
The Localization and Expression of the Renin–angiotensin System in the Human Placenta Throughout Pregnancy
TL;DR: The results suggest that the RAS may have a role in the human placenta throughout gestation, and clearly show the expression of a majority of the components of the R AS in thePlacenta from early gestation onwards.
Journal ArticleDOI
The truncated ghrelin receptor polypeptide (GHS-R1b) is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum where it forms heterodimers with ghrelin receptors (GHS-R1a) to attenuate their cell surface expression.
TL;DR: It is suggested that ghrelin receptors can be retained in the endoplasmic reticulum by heterodimerization with GHS-R1b, and constitutive activation of phospholipase C is attenuated due to decreased cell surface expression of gh Relin receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purinergic regulation of anion secretion by cystic fibrosis pancreatic duct cells.
Hsiao Chang Chan,Wing-Tai Cheung,P. Y. Leung,L. J. Wu,S. B. Chew,Wing-Hung Ko,Patrick Y.D. Wong +6 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study demonstrate the presence of a purinergic regulatory mechanism involving P2U receptor and Ca2+ mobilization in pancreatic duct anion secretion and the effects of different adenosine nucleosides and/or nucleotides on Isc.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of age on the presentation of patients with tuberculosis
TL;DR: Elderly patients with TB are more likely to present with non-specific complaints and atypical radiographic appearance and a high index of suspicion and prompt investigations in elderly patients may allow for earlier diagnosis and treatment of TB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Requirement of PPARα in maintaining phospholipid and triacylglycerol homeostasis during energy deprivation
Susanna S.T. Lee,Wood Yee Chan,Cherry K.C. Lo,David Chi Cheong Wan,David Tsang,Wing-Tai Cheung +5 more
TL;DR: Results show that PPARalpha plays an important role in regulation of fatty acid metabolism as well as phospholipid homeostasis during energy deprivation.
