... pharmacogenomic approaches. In the present review, we discuss the factors that may have contributed to the paucity of relevant studies summarizing available data. Hormonal fluctuations due to menstruation, pregnancy and menopause may have profound drug effects in women [ 84 ]. In fact, oral contraceptives...

For each hormone, all samples from individual animals were measured in the same assay to avoid inter-assay...

Even for patients with early disease at the time of diagnosis, a proportion of patients will unfortunately develop relapsed disease following radical therapy...

... with the development of congestive heart failure (CHF). The selective enzymic inhibition of ET-1 formation thus seems to be a very important target in the prevention of CHF. We evaluated the chronic effects of a specific ECE inhibitor, FR901533 (0.3mg·kg -1 ·h -1 , n = 5) on cardiac, hormonal, and body fluid balance...
