The sodium-calcium exchanger isoform 1 (NCX1) regulates cytoplasmic calcium (Ca(2+)(c)) required for insulin secretion in beta-cells. NCX1 is alternatively spliced, resulting in the expression of splice variants in different tissues such as NCX1.3 and -1.7 in beta-cells. As pharmacological inhibitors
Genetic factors influencing the metabolism of tolbutamide.

Studies in humans and animals have linked abnormal programming of adult tissue function to excess glucocorticoids during perinatal development. The current study investigated the hypothesis that physiological variations in glucocorticoid concentrations during early neonatal life of the foal alter the
Journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 102(1), 73-83 (2012-10-09)
The growing interest of pharmaceutical companies toward the crystal morphology prediction of active pharmaceutical ingredients is a consequence of the dramatic effect of the crystal habit on the tableting behavior of drugs. In order to help the optimization of the
