We investigated ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in activated sludge collected from 12 sewage
treatment systems, whose ammonia removal and treatment processes differed, during three …

We investigated expression of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate decarboxylase, and
matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in the prostates of patients with cancer or benign prostatic …

Mice with disrupted mammalian PcG (Polycomb group) genes commonly show skeletal
transformation of anterior-posterior identities. Disruption of the murine M33 gene, a PcG member…

Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP) is well known to protect delayed
neuronal cell death in the brain of rodents. In order to investigate the neuroprotective action …

We recently demonstrated the occurrence and functional roles of plasma membrane estrogen
receptors in cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells. Here we report the effects of daidzein…

Ad4BP/SF-1 [Ad4 binding protein/steroidogenic factor-1 (designated NR5A1)] is a transcription
factor essential for animal reproduction. Based on the phenotypes observed in gene-…

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) is known to regulate not only neurons
but also astrocytes. Here, we investigated, both in vitro and in vivo, the effects of PACAP38 …

Mycobacterium sp. G3 was reported as a dibenzothiophene (DBT)-degrading microorganism
and the first strain to have the ability to degrade high-molecular-weight alkyl DBTs, such as …

Incubation of cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells with 17β-estradiol (E 2 ) (0.3–100nM)
or membrane-impermeable E 2 -bovine serum albumin (100nM) acutely increased 14 C-…

We report the effects of resveratrol, a polyphenol found in the skins of red grapes, on
catecholamine secretion and synthesis in cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells. Resveratrol …
