Of these factors, fermentable carbohydrates, which are commonly found in sweetened foodstuffs, have been identified as particularly important dietary contributors to dental caries14. Consumption of sweetened foodstuffs can rapidly increase the concentration of carbohydrates in the oral cavity, leading to a ...
Therefore, it has been deliberated that adipose tissues are the major endocrine organ which have the ability to produce variety of adipose-derived mediators that are activitely involved to regulate the energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity [41]. The most important adipose-derived mediators are ...
As spices are derived from Mother Nature and are inexpensive, they are relatively safer to consume. Therefore, their anti-inflammatory property can be exploited to combat the cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients. This review thus focuses on the current knowledge on the role of spices for the tr...
They heterodimerize with Retinoid X Receptors (RXRs α, β and γ), and regulate the expression of a battery of target genes involved in cell growth and differentiation. During the two last decades, the description of the crystallographic structures of RARs, the characterization of the ...
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising tool in the field of regenerative medicine due to their unique therapeutic properties as they can differentiate into multiple cell types and exert paracrine effects. However, despite encou
How does cortisol affect lipid metabolism? Explain how peptide hormones and steroid hormones affect the metabolism of the cell. What is the relationship between enzymes and metabolism? How are enzymes involved in digestion? Explain how enzymes help to control metabolism in living organisms. Be sure ...
The effects of endocrine disruptors are often subtle and might not be noticeable for years to come. They might not have any effect on you, especially if you aren’t exposed regularly or in high amounts.The impact depends on:The specific endocrine disruptor involved The dose and duration...
a dozen genes all intimately involved in lipid processing whose expression is altered in various ways in various cells in the brain's prefrontal cortex. For another example they show that all five cell types show impairments in DNA repair, albeit by changed expression of different genes in each...
When we consume fats (also called lipids) in our diet, they can be metabolized or stored to provide energy for the body. But they are also involved in regulating the genes expressed within—and the signaling between—cells. Lipids influence how our cells behave and function, which affects man...
The researchers focused their effort on a transcription factor called HNF4-Alpha, which is known to regulate genes involved in lipid metabolism and genes that respond tomicrobes. "We thought that it might represent an interface or a crossroads between interpreting information that comes from either ...
