PAC1 receptor: emerging target for septic shock therapy.

abstract：:Preliminary reports indicate the influence of oxidative stress and interleukins, particularly TGF-beta1, in maintenance of bone mass. This study was designed to determine any possible variations of cellular lipid peroxidation, the total antioxidant power, and concentration of TGF-beta1 in blood and saliva of osteoporo...
