Post-transcriptional Regulation of Luteinizing Hormone Receptor mRNA Expression in the Ovary
Fig. 4.1 LHR mRNA levels during hCG-induced downregulation. Northern blot analysis of steady state LHR mRNA levels in total RNA, isolated at the indicated times, from the ovaries of saline-injected…
Post-transcriptional Regulation of Glucocorticoid Function
Fig. 13.1 Mechanisms of GC action discussed in this review. GCs exert their anti-inflammatory action through multiple mechanisms mediating coordinate changes in gene expression (see text). Regulation of inflammatory responses…
Mechanisms of Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation
Fig. 1.1 Translation initiation and common mechanisms of regulation. The steps of translation initiation are outlined in (a). The ternary complex is comprised of eIFs 1, 1A, 3 and 5…
