Indeed, thecomparative studyturned up fetal cells of the type known as K/L that were expressing the insulin gene in the small intestine. Until now, this gene had only been known to be expressed in the pancreatic beta cells. Newborn small intestines also contained cells of the K/L type, ...
mediated e IF2α plays an essential role in adipocyte differentiation through activating SREBP-1. Insulin resistance stimulates pancreatic β-cells to produce more insulin, which subsequently gives rise to ER stress. On the other hand, ER stress-mediated CHOP promotes apoptosis of β-cells, resultin...
We all know that burger is a high-fat food, right? Well, fat and alcohol are processed in theliver(肝脏), and naturally, our body breaks down the alcohol first because itdistinguishes( [dɪ'stɪŋɡwɪʃ] 区分,区别)alcohol as atoxin(['tɑːksɪn] 毒素 | 注意:瓶子里装...
It is well known that the ovaries of flies are totally undeveloped at emergence and that female flies require a diet consisting of water, sugar and protein; water and sugar for maintenence of life and protein for egg development. Glaser (1923) found that houseflies could produce a few eggs...
The difficulty of the challenge comes from the fact that it is a multifaceted problem with connections to life-history evolution, parent-offspring conflict, kin selection and signalling. Previous efforts mainly focused on modelling resource allocation at the expense of the dynamic interaction during a...
Type 2 diabetes is a common metabolic condition that develops when the body fails to produce enough insulin or when insulin fails to work properly, which is referred to as insulin resistance. Insulin is the hormone that stimulates cells to uptake glucose from the blood to use for energy. ...
For example, insulin and glucagon are hormones that help to regulate (or stabilize) blood sugar, and the thyroid hormone helps to regulate (or normalize) metabolism. ● Antibodies are specialized proteins that help to fight infections. They are intricately involved in the body’s immune response....
There is growing notion that not all healthy diets are sustainable and not all sustainable diets are healthy, thus an integral system approach will be necessary to produce sufficient, safe, and nutritionally enhanced food. Increasing demand for nutritious, safe, and healthy food because of a growin...
Finally, we tested the hypothesis that females that copulate more also have higher fecundity by assessing the correlation between number of copulations of a female and the amount of eggs laid during the 24 hour of the assay that produce adult progeny. We found that females who mate more ...
If your cat’s pancreas can’t produce enough insulin to maintain the proper blood sugar levels, it can lead to diabetes. Cats that are middle-aged and senior cats are more likely to develop diabetes mellitus. Male cats are also more at risk than female cats. Neutered male cats also have...
