Instructions to Authors
Manuscript preparation
The content of submitted manuscripts must fall into the field of normal and pathological physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, and immunology. Authors must submit papers reporting on original work, which had not previously been published elsewhere. Papers will be accepted by the editors upon the recommendation of two referees. All papers will be published in English.
Three types of manuscripts will be considered for publication:
- Minireview giving personal views and state-of-the-art presented by prominent scientists on contemporary developments in their field of interest. These contributions should not exceed 10 type-written pages with a maximum of 3 figures or 3 tables.
- Full Length Paper presenting original experimental results in the field of normal and pathological physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology and immunology should not be longer than 15 type-written pages (including references) and 5 figures or tables.
- Rapid Communication or Short Communication, not exceeding 5 type-written pages (including a maximum of 2 figures or tables).
Manuscript style
Full papers must be sub-divided into the following sections:
- Title page should comprise:
- A title of the paper,
- First name(s) and surname of author(s)
- Institutes - authors' workplace (affiliation to be indicated by numbers)
- Full address of corresponding author
- Short title (reduced title of the article, that will appear as a page heading in the journal at the top of the printed pages, not more than 60 type-written strokes including spaces ).
- Summary. Each paper should contain summary of the main points (not more than 200 words).
- Key words. Immediately following the summary, up to 5 key words should be supplied for subject indexing. Key words should be taken from the Index Medicus (Medical Subject Headings) or be composed on the same principle.
- Introduction should contain background of the subject matter and explanation, why the research was carried out.
- Methods. In this section, all materials and methods must be clearly described.
- Results
- Discussion should be well-arranged and concise.
- Acknowledgments of financial support or technical assistance may follow the main body of the paper.
- References are to be listed in alphabetical order, are not numbered, and must correspond to citations in the text. They must include: name and initials of all authors (in Capital letters), full title of paper, name of journal abbreviated according to Index Medicus (in Italics), volume number (in bold), first and last page and year of publication, e.g.:
GREGOR M, MEJSNAR J, JANOVSK?A, ŽURMANOV?J, BENADA O, MEJSNAROV?B: Creatine kinase reaction in skinned rat psoas muscle fibers and their myofibrils. Physiol Res 48: 27-35, 1999.
References to monographs should be supplemented by the name of publishers, place of publication and in the case of a conference or symposial proceedings also by the name of editors, e.g.:
OLNEY JW: Neurocytology of excitatory amino acids. In: Kainic Acid as a Tool in Neurobiology. EG MCGEER, JW OLNEY, PL MCGEER (eds), Raven Press, New York, 1978, pp 95-121.
References should be referred to in the text by the name of author and year of publication, e.g. (Carlsson 1987) or (Schnermann and Briggs 1985). If there are more than two authors, then only the first should be given in the text, e.g.: (Gregor et al. 1999). A reference cited "in press" should include "accepted by" with the name of the journal in which it was accepted.
Rapid or Short communicaton will be subdivided into the following sections:
- Summary
- Main body of the text
- References
Units. It is necessary to use the Systeme International d'Unites (SI) for the numerical expression of the results of measurements. In cases in which the SI unit is different from the conventional one, the conventional unit should be added in parentheses. In our journal, "liter" is marked as "l", not "L".
Text format
- The manuscripts should be typed in double-line spacing. The form and contents should be carefully checked to correspond with our Instructions for Authors. The text of the manuscript sent to the Editors should be considered as final.

Figure Format
- The number of illustrations should be kept to a minimum required for clarification of the text, the maximum of 5 for a full-length paper.

Captions will be in English, decimal place must be denoted by a point (not comma!). Figures should be sharp unmounted glossy photographs or computer-generated laser print.
- Figures should be prepared for either single-column width (8 cm), whenever possible, or for double-column width (17 cm). All drawings for reduction to a given size should be drawn and lettered to the same scale. Lettering must be proportionate to the size of the figure (not to be less than 2 mm high after the reduction). Freehand, typewritten or dot-matrix lettering is not acceptable.
- Each figure will contain a caption. An explanatory text, making the general meaning clear without reference to the text, should be at the end of a manuscript text, in the text file.
- Color illustration will be accepted. However, the author will be expected to make a contribution towards the additional costs.
