Modulation of glucocorticoid receptor gene expression by antidepressant drugs

The literature on the setting mechanisms of dental amalgams made from powders of silver-rich alloys of tin and/or copper has been critically reviewed. In Part 1 of the review, the microstructure and phase content of recently set amalgams are described. The composition, morphology, and location of product phases are emphasized, since these features are clues to the setting reaction. Thus, Part 1 provides the background needed to understand the kinetics of the setting reactions, which is the topic of Part 2 of the review.
