Tissue equivalence of some phantom materials for proton beams [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Tissue and water equivalence of some phantom materials originally developed for conventional radiation therapy was investigated on the ITEP medical proton beam facility. The proton CSDA range in three variants of Plastic Water, lung, adipose, muscle and compact bone substitute materials (CIRS Inc., USA) was measured by a silicon diode as well as the ...

Extra-cellular matrix rigidity may dictate the fate of injury outcome [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
After injury, if regeneration can be observed in hydra, planaria and some vertebrates, regeneration is rare in mammals and particularly in humans. In this paper, we investigate the mechanisms by which biological tissues recover after injury. We explore this question on adipose tissue, using the mathematical framework recently developed in Peurichard et

Allobaculum plays a predominant role in the activation of brown fat tissue by diallyl trisulfide

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Diallyl trisulfide activates brown adipose tissue and prevents obesity by promoting the relative abundance of Allobaculum in the gut of mice. Oral supplementation of Allobaculum stercoricanis, a primary species in Allobaculum, activates brown adipose tissue and prevents obesity.

Adaptive thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue involves activation of pannexin-1 channels

Molecular Metabolism, 2021
Objective: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is specialized in thermogenesis. The conversion of energy into heat in brown adipocytes proceeds via stimulation of β-adrenergic receptor (βAR)-dependent signaling and activation of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1

Berries: Health Effects via Modulation of the Gut Microbiota

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Berries are widely regarded as beneficial foods, rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds that could positively influence human health. Although the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in metabolism and physiology of humans, the interaction between berries and human gut microbiota activity remains unclear.

Exploring the bio‐functional potential of polysaccharides from Morchella esculenta: A mini review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Polysaccharides, natural polymers of monosaccharides, exhibit diverse biological activities due to their molecular structures and functional properties. Morchella esculenta, a precious edible mushroom with higher market value, is also rich in polysaccharides (MEP) and holds potential as a bioactive compound with therapeutic and functional food

Quantitative evaluation of gap junctions during development of the brown adipose tissue.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
Gap junctions of rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) were studied with the freeze-fracture technique during development. The frequency and the mean area of gap junctions increased after birth, reached a maximal development during the functional phase of the ...
