A central domain binding site in insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 for the acid-labile subunit.

abstract：:The DNA binding protein nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor translocated from the cytosol to the nucleus in response to stressors. Here we determined whether the known ability of alcohol to activate the hypothalamic-pituitary axis was mediated by NF-kappaB, tested the hypothesis that this pheno...
