It has been known for a long time that thyroid hormones have prominent effects on hepatic fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis and metabolism. Indeed, hypothyroidism has been associated with increased serum levels of triglycerides and cholesterol as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)....
Q. Similar hand shaping in reaching-for-food (skilled reaching) in rats and humans provides evidence of homology in release, collection, and manipulation movements. Behav. Brain Res. 204, 153–161 (2009). This study establishes that there are major homologies between humans and rats in the ...
Some mythmakers believe that long ago women all bled in sync with the moon, but civilization and indoor electric lighting (or even the discovery of fire by primitive humans) have disturbed their rhythmic cycle. This theory may seem plausible until one remembers that there are quite a few other...
The reagent was made from allergens of the Dermatophagoides farinae, the dust mite, and caused subclinical symptoms quite similar to those of atopy in humans. To induce AD, during the first phase we removed the NC/Nga mice's fur from the back to above the earflap by using a grainer ...
Extended human spaceflight was once a distant fantasy; however, it is now almost a tangible reality. With NASA’s goal to send humans back to the moon by 2024, then onwards to Mars in the 2030s, it is now more critical than ever to understand the impacts of long-term space travel on...
Exposure to greenness may lead to a wide range of beneficial health outcomes. However, the effects of greenness on preterm birth (PTB) are inconsistent, and limited studies have focused on the subcategories of PTB. A total of 3,751,672 singleton births from a national birth cohort in mainland...
in the early stage of adipogenesis [53]. However, the expression of miR-103 remains unchanged during adipogenesis in human subcutaneous adipocytes [49]. The reason for the lack of inconsistencies between studies is not known but could be due to differences in fat depots in mice and humans. ...
Berberrubine (BRB) is the primary metabolite of berberine (BBR) that has shown a stronger glucose-lowering effect than BBR in vivo. On the other hand, BRB is quickly and extensively metabolized into berberrubine-9-O-β-D-glucuronide (BRBG) in rats after oral administration. In this study we...
Arsenic is a hazardous environmental contaminant, which is considered as a king of poisons. It is ranked at the top in the list of hazardous substances by Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) on the basis of the extent of toxicity, prevalence and exposure to humans1. Arse...
