In this study, we investigated the regulation of different G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-stimulated
signaling pathways by GPCR kinase 2 (GRK2). We used thyrotropin receptor, …

Evidence indicates that lipoxygenases (LO) may play a role in cancer cell survival. We show
that human malignant pleural mesothelial (MM) cells, but not normal mesothelial (NM) cells, …

G‐protein‐coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) are involved in the regulation of many G‐protein‐coupled
receptors. As opposed to the other GRKs, such as rhodopsin kinase (GRK1) or β‐…

Ongoing low-grade chronic inflammation represents a pathogenetic background for age-related
diseases. In this report, we tested the hypothesis that endogenous anti-inflammatory …

Lipoxins (LX) are lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoids with potent anti-inflammatory activities
and vascular bed-dependent vasodilatory actions. LX can be formed in vitro and in vivo in a …

Interleukin (IL)-18 is highly expressed in macrophages from human atherosclerotic plaques,
suggesting its involvement in ischemic syndromes. We evaluated IL-18 and IL-18 binding …

Objectives : This study evaluated the impact of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) on the CD40/CD40
ligand (CD40L) dyad in vivo and in vitro. Background : Hyperhomocysteinemia is …

METHODS Subjects and study design. Nine healthy subjects, six men and three women,
aged 29.3 3.5 yr, were recruited for this study. They were all nonsmokers and free from drugs …

The main focus of the thesis is the quality of public space as a space of sociability. In order to
do so, three fundamental concepts are addressed: urban design, as an urban planning tool …
