Defining Characteristic #1: A WFKD must result in sustained nutritional ketosis. Due to individual variations in carbohydrate tolerance, total daily carb intake can range from nearly 0 to 100 g/d (although tolerance of more than 70 g/d when consuming adequate protein is uncommon). Note: due ...
Quantitative changes of this chaperone are characteristic of white-to-brown adipocyte differentiation (white-to-brown conversion), and its expression is abundant during the monocyte-to-activated macrophage transition (Amri et al. 1991; Boss et al. 2015; Makowski et al. 2001), Table 1. FABP4 is...
A diagnosis of AP was confirmed by the additional presence of either characteristic abdominal pain or cross-sectional imaging.The overall positive predictive value (PPV) of hyperlipasemia was 38.1%. Median initial lipase levels were 1164 IU/L in patients with AP and 284.5 IU/L in patients ...
The scaffold protein DVL is an essential component in WNT signaling relaying both β-catenin-dependent and –independent pathways18. FZD5overexpression results in a characteristic, phosphorylation-dependent electrophoretic mobility shift of DVL even in the absence of WNTs31,33. Here, we investigated th...
Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a characteristic feature of obesity (1) that involves enhanced activation of proinflammatory signaling in tissues, such as skeletal muscle, and is associated with increased expression and secretion of cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor...
of such structures46. The authors concluded that such structures contained, at least in some cases, non-fibrillar aSyn, and that the main components of the inclusions were lipids and membranous organelles, including autophagosomes. Such findings, although not definitive due to the nature of the ...
F1-adenosine triphosphatase displays properties characteristic of an antigen presentation molecule for Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells. J Immunol 2010; 184: 6920–6928. Article CAS PubMed Google Scholar Chen H, He X, Wang Z, Wu D, Zhang H, Xu C et al. Identification of human T cell receptor ...
Another characteristic of AQP0-mediated water conduction is its pH sensitivity (16, 17, 18), although this behavior has not been observed in all studies (19, 20). In permeability studies with AQP0 expressed in Xenopus oocytes, water conduction was reported to be two to four times higher at...
. Thereupon, the lifestyle intervention led to mitigating the metabolic changes during pregnancy that might be characteristic of obesity and pregnancy status. Finally, Zheng et al. (2016b) analyzed data from the POUNDS LOST and the DIRECT studies (Table2). Both cohorts followed a weight loss ...
Receiver Operating Characteristic analyses of percentage of fat and waist circumference were used to develop cut-points for individuals with adverse levels of CVD risk factors.Results: The risk factors selected for analyses (i.e., fasting insulin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density ...
