Background Various lines of evidence have shown that bisphenol A [BPA; HO-C 6 H 4 -C(CH
3 ) 2 -C 6 H 4 -OH] acts as an endocrine disruptor when present in very low doses. We …

Bisphenol A (BPA) has been acknowledged as an estrogenic chemical able to interact with
human estrogen receptors (ER). Many lines of evidence reveal that BPA has an impact as an …

Many lines of evidence reveal that bisphenol A (BPA) functions at very low doses as an
endocrine disruptor. The human estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) behaves as a constitutive …

Background Bisphenol AF has been acknowledged to be useful for the production of CF 3 -containing
polymers with improved chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Because …

The nucleotide sequences of four genes encoding Trimeresurus gramineus (green habu
snake, crotalinae) venom gland phospholipase A2 (PLA2; phosphatidylcholine 2-acylhydrolase…

Eight cDNAs encoding serine proteases isolated from Trimeresurus flavoviridis (habu snake)
and T. gramineus (green habu snake) venom gland cDNA libraries showed that …

Estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ), one of the 48 human nuclear receptors, has a fully
active conformation with no ligand. We recently demonstrated that ERRγ binds strongly …

Dialkyl phthalates have been suggested to function as xenoestrogen. To explore the structural
essentials, a series of ring and alkyl-chain isomers of dialkyl phthalates C 6 H 4 (COOC n …

The balance between androgens and estrogens is very important in the development of the
prostate, and even small changes in estrogen levels, including those of estrogen-mimicking …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has a strong affinity for heparin. About one fourth of HGF
secreted from MRC-5 human embryonic lung fibroblast cells was found to be associated with …
