Iron-Ion Radiation Accelerates Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E-Deficient Mice
Recently, concern over whether exposure to cosmic radiation might pose a similar risk for astronauts has increased. To address this question, we examined the effect of 2 to 5 Gy iron…

Absence of Association Between Specific Common Variants of the Obesity-Related Fto Gene and Psychological and Behavioral Eating Disorder Phenotypes
To determine whether FTO may influence weight regulation through psychological and behavioral factors, seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the FTO gene were genotyped in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) and 677…

The Combination of Cobinamide and Sulfanegen Is Highly Effective in Mouse Models of Cyanide Poisoning
We are developing two new cyanide antidotes—cobinamide, a vitamin B12 analog, and sulfanegen, a 3-mercaptopyruvate prodrug. Both drugs can be given by intramuscular administration, and therefore could be used to…

Effect of Fenoterol Stereochemistry on the β2 Adrenergic Receptor System: Ligand-Directed Chiral Recognition
The β2 adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) is a model system for studying the ligand recognition process in G protein-coupled receptors. Fenoterol (FEN) is a β2-AR selective agonist that has two centers of…
