The value of N-terminal fragment of brain natiuretic peptide and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 levels as predictors of cardiovascular outcome in the LIPID study (2008)

The growth performance and endocrine responses of male weaner pigs (3 to 8 weeks of age) was evaluated in two different environments (clean and dirty) and housing (single or groups of 10 pigs/pen)...

Natural antibodies and complement are endogenous adjuvants for vaccine-induced CD8+ T-cell responses (2003)

Stäger, S., Alexander, J., Kirby, A. C., Botto, M., Van Rooijen, N., Smith, D. F., ...

CD8+ T cells are essential for long-term, vaccine-induced resistance against intracellular pathogens. Here we show that natural antibodies, acting in concert with complement, are endogenous adjuvants...

Dietary n-3 and n-6 Fatty Acids Alter Avian Pituitary Sensitivity (2003)

Newman, R. E., Storlien, L. H., Bryden, W. L., Kirby, A. C., Downing, J. A.

The effects of dietary saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the n-3 and n-6 series on avian pituitary sensitivity were investigated by infusing human growth hormone (GH) releasing...

Cholesterol-lowering therapy with pravastatin in patients with average cholesterol levels and established ischaemic heart disease: is it cost-effective? (2002)

Glasziou, P. P., Eckermann, S. D., Mulray, S. E., Simes, R. J., Martin, A. J., Kirby, A. C., ...

Objective: To measure the cost-effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering therapy with pravastatin in patients with established ischaemic heart disease and average baseline cholesterol levels. Design:...

Characterization of an antiproliferative surface-associated protein from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans which can be neutralized by sera from a proportion of patients with localized juvenile periodontitis.

White, P A, Wilson, M, Nair, S P, Kirby, A C, Reddi, K, Henderson, B

The gentle agitation of suspensions of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans serotype a, b, or c in saline resulted in the release of a proteinaceous surface-associated material (SAM) which produced a...

The potent bone-resorbing mediator of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is homologous to the molecular chaperone GroEL.

Kirby, A C, Meghji, S, Nair, S P, White, P, Reddi, K, Nishihara, T, ...

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a Gram-negative bacterium implicated in the pathology of localized juvenile periodontitis, a condition involving rapid destruction of alveolar bone. We have...

Calcium content and exchange in frog skeletal muscle.

Kirby, A C, Lindley, B D, Picken, J R

Calcium content and exchange in frog ELD IV muscle were examined employing the efflux technique. 2. Muscle calcium was found to exchange with four time constants, 21-5 sec 2-7, 32 and 1244 min. 3....
