Evidence that bergapten, independently of its photoactivation, enhances p53 gene expression and induces apoptosis in human breast cancer cells.
M. L. Panno,Francesca Giordano,M. G. Palma,Viviana Bartella,Vittoria Rago,Marcello Maggiolini,Diego Sisci,Marilena Lanzino,F. De Amicis,S. Andò +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Bergapten, independently on the exposure to UV, generates membrane signalling pathways able to address apoptotic responses in breast cancer cells and to counteract the stimulatory effect of IGF-I/E2 on estrogen-receptor positive MCF-7 cell growth and progression.

Sex steroids levels in the plasma and testis during the reproductive cycle of lizard Podarcis s. sicula Raf.
S. Andò,Gaetano Ciarcia,M. L. Panno,E. Imbrogno,G. Tarantino,M. Buffone,E Beraldi,Francesco Angelini,Virgilio Botte +8 more
TL;DR: There is an apparent separation of plasma and testicular androgen concentrations during the reproductive cycle in oviparous lizard Podarcis s.

The effect of dietary calcium intake on bone mineral density in healthy adolescent girls and young women in Southern Italy
Marcello Maggiolini,Daniela Bonofiglio,A Giorno,Stefania Catalano,Stefania Marsico,S. Aquila,S. Andò +6 more
TL;DR: This study showed that different calcium intake values do not appear to affect forearm mineral densities at the ages investigated, however puberty represents the major event in radial bone mass acquisition during adolescence.

Influence of hypothyroidism on in-vitro testicular steroidogenesis in adult rats.
TL;DR: As the degree of hypothyroidism became more severe, the rate of testosterone production decreases and testicular steroidogenesis changes from the delta 4 to delta 5 metabolic pathway as a consequence of the impairement of 3-beta-ol-dehydrogenase activity.

A time course study on the "in vitro" effects of T3 and testosterone on androgen and estrogen receptors in peripuberal primary rat Sertoli cells.
Diego Sisci,M. L. Panno,M Salerno,Marcello Maggiolini,Vincenzo Pezzi,E. G. Morrone,Loredana Mauro,Saveria Aquila,Stefania Marsico,Marilena Lanzino,S. Andò +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that thyroid hormone induces a progressive increase of (AR)/(ER) ratio in the differentiating Sertoli cells bringing them to a prevalent androgen dependency along their functional maturation.
