The MetaboHealth Score Enhances Insulin Resistance Metabotyping for Targeted Fat Loss: The PERSON Study

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We previously identified distinct muscle and liver insulin resistance (IR) metabotypes in middle‐aged and older adults. The PERSON study showed that a low‐fat, high‐protein, high‐fiber diet benefits the muscle IR group, while a high‐monounsaturated fatty acid diet benefits the liver IR group. We also developed the MetaboHealth score,

Protein Involved in Initiation 1 Interaction With Starch Synthase 4 From Arabidopsis thaliana Induces Inhibition of Elongating Activity

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Starch is the major energy storage compound in plants. It accumulates in the form of insoluble, partly crystalline granules whose number and shape are specific to each plant species. These characteristics are defined very early in starch biosynthesis, at the initiation stage.

Brucella β 1,2 cyclic glucan is an activator of human and mouse dendritic cells.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Bacterial cyclic glucans are glucose polymers that concentrate within the periplasm of alpha-proteobacteria. These molecules are necessary to maintain the homeostasis of the cell envelope by contributing to the osmolarity of Gram negative bacteria. Here,
