Contrast-enhanced CTNauseaPreparatory fastingVomitingTraditional preparatory fasting policy prior to iodinated contrast media (ICM) assisted contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) examinations lacks methodologically acceptable evidence. Considering the possible negative effects of preprocedural fasting, the latest European ...
To evaluate if acute p53 ablation in established obesity can rescue the inflammatory phenotype of AT, we analysed the expression of inflammatory markers in control and p53 KO mice before challenging them with IF (efficiency and specificity of ablation is shown in Supplementary Fig. 3d). The ...
Mice were fasted for 6 h (morning fasting) before glucose measurements. d Immunostaining of pancreatic sections to detect expression of insulin and glucagon. Scale bar: 20 μm. The percentage of β cells and α cells per islet is shown in the lower panel. Data are expressed as the mean...
The mice were fasted for 6 h before the tests. The insulin (0.75 U kg−1, Sigma Aldrich, USA) was injected, and blood glucose was measured before (0 min) and after the injection (15, 30, 60, 120 min) using a OneTouch® SelectSimple™ glucometer (LifeScan Inc., China...
Moreover, the fasting induction of the ubiquitin ligase muscle RING finger 1 (MuRF-1) involved in muscle atrophy [35] was blunted in fasted MKO animals, in contrast to the muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx) (Figure 5B). Functionally, the reduced expression of MuRF-1 is in line with with ...
In contrast, induction of ACO-1 mRNA by fasting was dependent on the presence of PPARα. ME-1 mRNA remained unchanged after fasting but was induced after refeeding in a pattern very similar to RXRα mRNA expression. Hence, there are marked differences in the requirements for PPARα and the...
OBJECTIVE. Most diagnostic imaging centers ask patients to fast for 4-6 hours before contrast-enhanced CT. Previous studies have shown that prolonged fasting can be harmful. In addition, manufacturers of contrast agents claim that there is no special preparation needed before examination. The aim ...
FastingTomography (X-ray computed)Objectives:To analyze the relationship between the dietary preparation status prior to contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) and adverse drug reactions (ADR) and emetic complications. Methods:Non-emergency adult patients who underwent routine CECT in our hospital from January ...
In contrast, the transcription factors HNF4α and HNF1α appeared to have many targets downregulated in the EODF animals. The finding that HNF4α was regulated in response to EODF was unexpected; however, analysis of the known gene targets for this transcription factor highlighted their consisten...
