Independent induction of interleukin 6 and prostaglandin E2 by interleukin 1 in human articular chondrocytes.

abstract：:In vivo electroporation and hydrodynamics-based gene delivery were utilized to test the effect of leptin gene transfer on food intake, and body and fat weights of mice. Gene transfer of pVRmob by electroporation caused a significant reduction in body weight compared with the control counterpart (p<0.05), although a le...
