Evidence for the presence of two homer 1 transcripts in skeletal and cardiac muscles.

abstract：:Mental status changes are usually associated with septic shock. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying physiological changes of the central nervous system (CNS) remain speculative. We have investigated the expression of interleukin (IL)-12, one of the central cytokines in inflammatory and immune responses, in th...
