Minireview: animal models and mechanisms of ovarian cancer development.

abstract：:The expression and functions of receptors for the beta-chemokine, regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed, and secreted (RANTES)/CCL5, were investigated in osteoblasts. Both primary osteoblasts and the MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell line express the RANTES receptors, CCR1, 3, 4, and 5 (by RT-PCR), which encode fu...

abstract：:Ghrelin was recently identified as an endogenous ligand of the GH secretagogue receptor. The novel peptide hormone is produced by gastric A-like cells, and circulating levels rise before feeding, suggestive of ghrelin as an endogenous hunger factor. ghrelin stimulates food intake and promotes adiposity after periphera...
