Endothelin receptors in rat liver: lipocytes as a contractile target for endothelin 1.

abstract：:Insects have diversified through more than 450 million y of Earth's changeable climate, yet rapidly shifting patterns of temperature and precipitation now pose novel challenges as they combine with decades of other anthropogenic stressors including the conversion and degradation of land. Here, we consider how insects ...
