Periuterine Adipose Tissue Remodeling in Rats Offered a Choice of Lard, Sucrose, and Chow
(2018-05)The impact of obesity on adipose tissue expansion differs with each adipose depot throughout the body, suggesting that obesity affects adipose tissue in a regional manner. We determined if free access to lard, sucrose ... -
Pharmacogenetics of Select Genes in the Opiate Metabolism and Response Pathways
(2018-08)Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics aim to elucidate the underlying genetic variation contributing to adverse drug reactions, differential enzyme activity, and resulting appropriate drug dosage on the individual and ... -
Pharmacological Assessment of Novel Phenylacetamide as a Sigma 1 Receptor Ligand
(2014-05-01)The symptoms of psychosis have been categorized as positive, negative and cognitive. Traditionally drug discovery in psychiatric disorders has focused on positive symptoms of the disease. However, cognitive impairment is ... -
