Differential regulation of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 protease activity in MCF-7 breast cancer cells by estrogen and transforming growth factor-beta1.

abstract：:Rats start decreasing their food intake as early as 70 min after the first ingestion of a food deficient in threonine. A decrease of the limiting essential amino acid (EAA) in the plasma was proposed to be the first anorectic signal. Because many hormones regulate feeding behavior, we studied the effect of a meal (46 ...
