Tacrolimus (TAC) has a narrow therapeutic index and shows interindividual variabilities in its blood concentration. Although guidelines recommend a genetic variant (rs776746) to determine the optimized TAC dose, discrepancies in accuracy have been noted. Therefore, studying other variants of may improve the accuracy of the TAC dose.

The SPP1 and UMOD gene has specific expression in kidneys and are involved in various stages of stone formation. Therefore, genetic variants in the SPP1 and UMOD genes may enhance the development of renal stone disease.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCalcium is the most abundant metabolite involved in the stone matrix. The CaSR gene controls calcium homeostasis, and genetic variation in the CaSR gene could lead to the development of renal stone disease. Therefore, the current study has been designed to assess the association of genetic variants of CaSR gene polymorphisms with renal stone disease.

Objective: The proposed work discusses the development and validation of the green and economical stability-indicating HPTLC method for quantification of the key marker phytoconstituents, curcumin (CUR), gallic acid (GA), and ursolic acid (UA), from JT.
Method: Quality standard parameters for JT were determined following standard procedures.
Ayurvedic medicines help in healing disease with fewer undesirable effects in comparison with an allopathic system of medicine to treat central nervous system (CNS) disorders, as the latter is more expensive. L. is often used in Ayurvedic formulations for the treatment of CNS disorders.
