The link between periodontitis and intestinal dysbiosis, two factors that contribute to atherosclerosis, has not been clearly defined. We investigated the integrative effects of oral infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis (PG), major pathogen for periodontitis, on microbiota atherosclerosis.ApoE-/- mice were fed a normal chow diet (NC), Western (WD) or WD PG (PG). was by placing total 109 CFUs live into cavity each mouse using feeding needle five times week 3 weeks. Atherosclerotic lesions...
BACKGROUNDIt has been reported that polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor (ER)-α gene (ESR1) may be associated with reproductive patterns of women. This study was performed to investigate whether genetic ER-α are idiopathic premature ovarian failure (POF) a Korean population.
X chromosome aberrations have been reported as the cause of extremely skewed inactivation (XCI). The purpose this study was to investigate whether XCI is associated with idiopathic premature ovarian failure (POF). status evaluated in Korean women by methylation assay androgen receptor locus 126 POF patients (35.3 ± 13.9 years old, mean SD) and age-matched controls (35.2 years). incidence group compared that control. correlation between age also within both groups. (≥90%) 3.9 versus 2.7% (P =...
