Specific hypomethylation of DNA is induced by heavy metals in white clover and industrial hemp
The present study was to assess the effect of heavy metal stress on the DNA methylation of a metal-sensitive plant, Trifolium repens L. and of a metal-tolerant plant, Cannabis sativa L. The changes… Expand

Lack of opiate receptor involvement in centrally induced calcitonin analgesia.
Abstract Calcitonin (CT) injected into the brain ventricles (ICV) of conscious rabbits induced an analgesia not reversable by naloxone which could be repeatedly elicited (for 5 days), while tolerance… Expand
