Journal Article
Proudfoot, L., Nikolaev, A. V., Feng, G., Wei, X., Ferguson, M. A. J., Brimacombe, J. S., & Liew, F. Y. (1996). Regulation of the expression of nitric oxide synthase and leishmanicidal activity by glycoconjugates of Leishmania lipophosphoglycan in murine

Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) glycoconjugates from promastigotes of Leishmania were not able to induce the expression of the cytokine-inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) by the murine macrophage cell line, J774. However, they synergize with interferon y...

Tumour was obtained from 37 patients with oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, before and during treatment with tamoxifen, and examined qualitatively and semi-qualitatively for mRNA of the three mammalian TGF-beta isoforms. Levels of TGF-beta i... Read More about Changes in expression of transforming growth factor beta mRNA isoforms in patients undergoing tamoxifen therapy.

Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web? (1996)
Journal Article

At least ten different static patterns have been suggested by the analysis of food webs. However, the existence of many of these patterns has been questioned in recent years. One pattern that has remained immune from such criticism is intervality. In... Read More about Do Parasites Reduce the Chances of Triangulation in a Real Food Web?.

Journal Article
Chalmers, C. (1996). Does hysterectomy in a premenopausal woman affect ovarian function?. Medical Hypotheses, 46(6), 573-575. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0306-9877%2896%2990134-6

Women undergoing a hysterectomy without oophorectomy in their premenopausal years would expect to benefit from continued secretion of oestrogens to protect them from the conditions and symptoms associated with the climacteric and postmenopause. Howev... Read More about Does hysterectomy in a premenopausal woman affect ovarian function?.

Conservation of γ-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptor α6 Subunit Gene Expression in Cerebellar Granule Cells (1996)

Tamoxifen (TAM) is a triphenylethylene anti-oestrogen, commonly used in the treatment of breast cancer. Patients receiving tamoxifen therapy may experience both de novo and acquired resistance. As one of the mechanisms for this may be extensive perip...
