Estrogen receptor-related receptors (ERRs; α, β, γ) are orphan nuclear receptors and
constitutively active without binding to estrogen. Like estrogen receptors (ERs), ERRs bind to …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine correlations of the islet-specific microRNA-375
expression to islet amyloid formation and pancreatic islet damage in human type 2 …

High frequency loss of 3p21.3 region where RASSF1A located was demonstrated in several
tumors. We aimed to investigate the methylation status of RASSF1A and the frequency of …

Dyslipidemia complicates renal function leading to disturbances of major homeostatic
