BACKGROUND
South Asians who have settled overseas and those in urban India have an increased risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Reasons for this increased risk are unclear. Most studies have been… (More)
The critical flicker fusion threshold (CFFT) is thought to index alertness and cortical arousal. Sedative drugs reduce CFFT while psychostimulants increase it. Procyclidine is an anticholinergic that… (More)
This study was conducted to examine the estradiol level and plasma lipid profile in perimenopausal women. The estradiol and HDL levels were higher and LDL levels lower in premenopausal women than in… (More)

PURPOSE
The growth-related oncogene alpha (GROalpha) is a secreted interleukin-like molecule that interacts with the CXCR2 G-protein-coupled receptor. We found that the mRNA and protein products of… (More)
Rationale: Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle response refers to an attenuation in response to a strong stimulus (pulse) if this is preceded shortly by a weak non-startling stimulus (prepulse).… (More)
Lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) is a major enzyme involved in vitamin A/retinol metabolism, which regulates various physiological processes like cell proliferation and differentiation. LRAT… (More)
