Non-caloric artificial sweeteners (NCAS) are widely used as a substitute for dietary sugars to control body weight or glycemia. Paradoxically, some interventional studies in humans and rodents have shown unfavorable changes in glucose homeostasis in response to NCAS consumption. The causative mechanisms...
Thus, there was a stark contrast between the strong and long-lasting LPS response in the maternal lung and liver and the fainter and temporally more restricted response in the decidua, placenta, and fetal liver. As the placenta regulates maternal-fetal signaling and resource allocation30, its res...
Fig. 3. Boxplot of comparison of immune descriptors in experimental trials among mussel populations: total hemocyte count (THC), phagocytic index (IP) and overall phagocytic capacity (CPN). Relative values were calculated as the ratio of each temperature condition to its control (initial temperature...
we have provided an elegant and straightforward simulation demonstration that it appears to be a more powerful test. We also explain why: a diagnosis-only count is a special case of the office-visit-based count, and as such the diagnosis...
In 2020, Gen-Z users (born between 1997 and 2012) contributed 52% of all tweets posted that year. The interest of younger generations in X/Twitter bodes well for its long-term viability. X/Twitter suspended over 900,000 users in early 2020 for violating their community guidelines, a 6% ...
Although the zika virus (ZIKV) has now been strongly correlated with emerging cases of microcephaly in the Americas, suspicions have been raised regarding the use of pyriproxyfen, a larvicide that prevents mosquito development, in drinking water. The eff
Digestion showed clear effects as no reads for seven of the genera could be detected in semi-digested sludge. The total relative read count from the remaining genera was on average seven-fold lower compared to raw sludge. The digested and stored sludge sample was similar to the semi-digested ...
Saturday, December 15, 2012 3:13 PMYou should be able to switch to view jobs under the agent - right click the job, "Script Job as" | "Create To". At that point, look the script over and see if anything reaches out and grabs you. If not, try to compile it with a new n...
People consistently show preferences and behaviors that benefit others at a cost to themselves, a phenomenon termed altruism. We investigated if perception of one’s body signals – interoception - may be underlying such behaviors. We tested if participa
These were filtered to remove genes with zero counts in over half of the samples, and log transformed following the addition of a pseudocount. Transformed counts were then used to define modules of correlated genes using WGCNA in R44. In brief, this process calculates pairwise Pearson ...
