Abstract Background We examined whether impaired renal function causes thickening of the aortic valve leaflets in hyperlipidemic apoE-knockout (apoE-/-) mice, and whether the putative effect on the aortic valves could be prevented by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) with enalapril.Methods Thickening of the aortic valve leaflets in
In the title compound, C25H23N3O3S, an intramolecular N—H.O interaction generates an S(6) ring, which stabilizes the enamine–keto form of the compound.This S(6) ring and the Foot Mask pyrazole ring are essentially coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 1.49 (6)°.The bond lengths within the S(6) ring of the molec
The presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil negatively affects the environment and the degradation of these contaminants is influenced by nitrogen metabolism.However, the mechanisms underlying the interrelationships between the functional genes involved in nitrogen metabolism and phenanthrene (PHE) biodegradation, as well as the
While non-pharmacological interventions could positively impact mood and behaviors of nursing-home residents who are living with dementia, some facilities are more willing to adopt such interventions than others.This study investigated the characteristics of Medicaid-funded nursing facilities that were associated with their willingness to implement
Abstract We present a new basis for the hadronic light-by-light (HLbL) tensor that is optimized for the evaluation of copyright narrow-resonance contributions to HLbL scattering in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.As main advantage, kinematic singularities are manifestly absent for pseudoscalar, scalar, and axial-vector states, while the r
