Activation of brown adipose tissue in hypothyroidism [PDF]

Annals of Medicine, 2015
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) attracts growing interest as a potential therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes. Hyperthyroidism is well-known to increase BAT activity, but the role of hypothyroidism is controversial. We aimed to investigate the association between different thyroid hormone (TH) states and BAT activity.FDG-PET studies were ...

Leucine‐Rich Repeat‐Containing G Protein‐Coupled Receptor 6 Ameliorates Pressure Overload‐Induced Cardiac Hypertrophy by Regulating Cardiomyocyte Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LGR6 overexpression ameliorates cardiac hypertrophy by regulating metabolic reprogramming through USP4‐PPARα pathway. Abstract Metabolic reprogramming is a pivotal mechanism in the pathogenesis of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Leucine‐rich repeat‐containing G protein‐coupled receptor 6 (Lgr6) has emerged as a significant player in cardiovascular ...

Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Isolation, Characterization, and Differentiation Potential

Cell Transplantation, 2013
In mammals, the two main types of adipose tissues, white and brown adipose tissues, exert different physiological functions. White adipose tissue (WAT) is for storing energy, while brown adipose tissue (BAT) is for energy consumption.

Comp2Comp: Open-Source Body Composition Assessment on Computed Tomography [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Computed tomography (CT) is routinely used in clinical practice to evaluate a wide variety of medical conditions. While CT scans provide diagnoses, they also offer the ability to extract quantitative body composition metrics to analyze tissue volume and quality.

CaMKK2 Regulates Macrophage Polarization Induced by Matrix Stiffness: Implications for Shaping the Immune Response in Stiffened Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophage phenotypes are influenced by the microenvironment. Matrix stiffness, a key ECM factor, polarizes macrophage toward a pro‐regenerative phenotype in a 3D physiological environment. CaMKK2 selectively regulates stiffness‐induced macrophage polarization, impacting tumor growth and wound healing.

Characterization of pig skeletal muscle transcriptomes in response to low temperature

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 181-190, January 2023., 2023
Low temperature changes the gene expression pattern and biological pathway in pig skeletal muscle. Under low temperature, biological pathways of lipid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism; signal transduction; endocrine, immune, and nervous system; cardiovascular disease; infectious diseases caused by bacteria or viruses; and neurodegenerative ...

CeiTEA: Adaptive Hierarchy of Single Cells with Topological Entropy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CeiTEA, a novel hierarchical clustering algorithm based on topological entropy, effectively captures complex structures underlying data. By constructing an adaptive multi‐nary partition tree, CeiTEA reveals hierarchical structures and local diversifications, outperforming existing methods in clustering accuracy and consistency and providing the ...

Impact of dietary supplementation of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids on bone strength, fatty acids profile of thigh muscle and immune responses in broiler chickens under heat stress

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 252-262, January 2023., 2023
Results suggest that there is not beneficial effect of broiler performance due to adding different source of fat in broiler chicken diet under hot condition. Furthermore, the unsaturated fatty acids could improve profile of fatty acids in thigh and enhance immune responses in broiler chickens.

The metabolic origins of big size in aquatic mammals [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The group of large aquatic mammals has representatives being the largest living beings on earth, surpassing the weight and size of dinosaurs. In this paper, we present some empirical evidence and a mathematical model to argue that fat accumulation in marine mammals triggers a series of metabolic events that result in these animals' increased size.

Induction of Cell Death by Combined Treatment with Photosensitizer‐Chitosan Nanoparticles and the Ferroptosis Inducer RSL3 in Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that combination of phosphosensitizer‐conjugated chitosan nanoparticles and ferroptosis inducer RSL3 increases cell death in mesenchymal breast cancer cells. Data suggests that this is attributed to variations in ferroptosis‐related protein expression, lipid peroxydation and mitochondrial function.
