Existence and Iterative Approximation Methods for Generalized Mixed Vector Equilibrium Problems with Relaxed Monotone Mappings by Rabian Wangkeeree, Panu Yimmuang

“…We then introduce a new iterative scheme for approximating a common element of the set of solutions of a generalized mixed vector equilibrium problem with a relaxed monotone mapping and the set of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. The results presented in this paper can be considered as a generalization of some known results due to Wang et al. (2010).…”

Bisphenol B restrains rat leydig cell function via H3K27me3/H3K9me3 histone modifications by Jiayi He, Huiqian Zhang, Hehua Quan, Qingyuan Wang, Congcong Wen, Yiyan Wang, Yang Zhu, Ren-Shan Ge, Xiaoheng Li

“…BPB did not alter the numbers of CYP11A1+ Leydig cells and SOX9+ Sertoli cells, but it downregulated the expression of key genes in testosterone synthesis pathway (Lhcgr, Scarb1, Star, Cyp11a1, Cyp17a1, Hsd11b1, Hsd17b3, and Insl3) and their corresponding protein levels. Notably, BPB significantly boosted the expressions of histone methylation markers like EEF1A1, SUZ12, EED, EZH2, H3K27me3, and H3K9me3 in vivo. …”
