Brown adipose tissue (BAT) and stimulating adaptive thermogenesis have been implicated as anti-obese and anti-diabetic tissues due to their ability to dissipate energy as heat by the expression of UCP1. We have recently demonstrated that TRB3 impairs differentiation of brown preadipocytes via inhibiting insulin signaling. However, the roles of the…[Read more]

When compared to the control larvae fed with uncontaminated-pollen, both CHP and CYP significantly reduced the O. bicornis larval survival and their body mass at all tested concentrations. In contrast, ACT did not affect either larval survival or body mass, but the length of larval stage to cocoon formation was significantly shortened compared to…[Read more]

4% versus 12.4%, P<0.001), and these patients demonstrated higher severe TBI (40.3% versus 36.7%, P<0.001) and craniotomy (5.8% versus 5.1%, P<0.001) rates. GCSt was more sensitive and accurate in predicting TCN for geriatric patients and had lower rates of undertriage as compared to GCSm.

Geriatric patients more frequently present with…[Read more]

Identifying mechanisms underlying alcohol-related behaviors could provide important insights regarding the etiology of alcohol use disorder. To date, most genetic studies on alcohol-related behavior in model organisms have focused on neurons, leaving the causal roles of glial mechanisms less comprehensively investigated. Here, we report our…[Read more]

The co-encapsulated oils presented higher carotenoid retention (50 ± 1 and 48 ± 1%) than the free oils (31 ± 2%) after 30 days. The oxidative stability indexes were 51 ± 4 and 46 ± 3 for the co-encapsulated oils with unheated and heated WPI, respectively, and 20.5 ± 0.1 h for the free oils. FD formulations with 13 ratio of oil aqueous phase and h…[Read more]

Increased oxidative stress in the human brain is observed in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and is considered to be a major cause of progression of these disease states. A very long-chain fatty acid, nervonic acid (NA), is the main fatty acid found in various sphingolipid species in the…[Read more]

r and extension of time, the demineralized collagen fibrils were destroyed in varying degrees. The collagen fibrils were curled, fractured, fused, and even disappeared. Conclusions NTAPP could significantly increase the surface temperature, modify dentine wettability and alter the micro structure, which was significantly influenced by input power,…[Read more]

In ALDH2 -/- mice 24 h after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), BBB damage was reflected by significantly increased fluorescein extravasation and perturbation of tight junction proteins, eNOS, MMP-9, and GFAP. Both calpain and cathepsin-B inhibitors alleviated BBB dysfunction caused by mTBI. No clear advantage was shown by selective versus…[Read more]
