Deslorelin is a synthetic GnRH analogue, which is being used as a contraceptive in animals by acting as a gonadal suppressant.The product Suprelorin (Virbac, Australia) contains deslorelin as a biocompatible, slow release subcutaneous implant.The continuous release of deslorelin provokes a down-regulation of GnRH receptors, and subsequently, inhibi
Understanding the molecular mechanism of signalling in the important super-family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is causally related to questions of how and where these receptors can be activated or inhibited.In this context, it is of great interest to unravel the common molecular features of GPCRs as well as those related to an active or i
Cholesterol-rich, SWEATERSCARDIGAN apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins are now widely accepted as the most important causal agents of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.Multiple unequivocal and orthogonal lines of evidence all converge on low-density lipoprotein and related particles as being the principal actors in the genesis of a
Since its inception in 2010, the Arab Spring has evolved into a situation of violent conflict in many countries, leading to high levels of migration from the affected region.Given the social impact of the large number of individuals applying for asylum across Europe in 2015, it is Feline important to study who these persons are in terms of their sk
