Expression of glucocorticoid and progesterone nuclear receptor genes in archival breast cancer tissue (2003)

Smith, Robert A, Lea, Rod A, Curran, Joanne E, Weinstein, Stephen R, Griffiths, Lyn R

Genotype × Adiposity Interaction Linkage Analyses Reveal a Locus on Chromosome 1 for Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2, a Marker of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Diego, Vincent P., Rainwater, David L., Wang, Xing-Li, Cole, Shelley A., Curran, Joanne E., Johnson, Matthew P., ...

Because obesity leads to a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress, we hypothesized that the contribution of genes to variation in a biomarker of these two processes may be...
