Corbo R, Ulizzi L, Piombo L, Scacchi R
Ann Hum Biol . 2010 May; 38(1):102-5. PMID: 20450391
Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), in addition to its role in the renin angiotensin system, has a physiological function in the fibrinolysis pathway, the accurate control of which is critical for...

Corbo R, Ulizzi L, Piombo L, Martinez-Labarga C, De Stefano G, Scacchi R
Mol Hum Reprod . 2007 Jun; 13(8):537-40. PMID: 17556378
The estrogen receptor (ER) plays an important role in mediating estrogen action on target tissues. ER-alpha, the most abundant, is found in all human reproductive tissues and studies on alpha-ER...
