Disease relevance of Uzbekistan

• It is concluded that glucose intolerance and central obesity are common in this region of Uzbekistan, about which there was previously little information [1].

High impact information on Uzbekistan

• METHODS: During 2002 and 2003, blood from HIV-positive patients in Uzbekistan was collected, and part of the proviral pol gene and nearly full-length genomes were sequenced and analyzed [2].
• (Rutaceae), an endemic plant of Uzbekistan, displayed a moderate antiproliferative activity towards human monocytes (IC50 = 35.2 microM) and Leishmania promastigotes (IC50 = 14.4 microM), by a mechanism of action that involved interaction with macromolecules and resulted in cell cycle arrest in the S-phase and inhibition of protein synthesis [3].
• Glucose intolerance and associated factors in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan [1].
• Plasma concentrations of sex steroids (testosterone and progesterone), proteins (total protein and albumin), lipids (phospholipids, cholesterol, and triglycerides), and minerals (calcium and phosphorus) were measured in wild Testudo horsfieldi in Uzbekistan, during the short, 3-month activity period (March-May, 1998) [4].
• Epidemiology of glucose intolerance and associated factors in Uzbekistan: a survey in Sirdaria province [5].

Biological context of Uzbekistan

• A large Jewish family from Tashkent (Uzbekistan) was studied for linkage of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) to molecular markers on the short arm of chromosome 16 [6].

Associations of Uzbekistan with chemical compounds

• An unusual new sesquiterpene derivative, kuhistaferone (1), was isolated from the fruits of the Uzbekistan medicinal plant Ferula kuhistanica [7].
• The objective of this research was to determine the effects of fertilizer application combined with the nitrification inhibitor potassium oxalate (PO) on soil microbial population and activities in nitrogen-poor soil under cotton cultivation in Uzbekistan [8].
• Test cases included, in addition to the Norman Conquest of England, the Arab-Berber Conquest of most of the Iberian Peninsula, and Russian domination of modern Uzbekistan [9].

Gene context of Uzbekistan

• Taken together, these findings show that the defective gene in this Jewish family from Uzbekistan is PKD1 [6].
• The mapping of elemental composition using INAA on the base of whole blood and hair of inhabitants (2500 samples) was made in Uzbekistan (CIS) [10].
