Brown teal (Pateke) diet and its consequences for releases : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology at Massey University [PDF]
This thesis addresses three research needs central to the conservation of the Brown Teal (Anas chlorotis): diet, release and post-release techniques for captive-bred teal, and identifying cause of death.

Haploinsufficiency of the retinoblastoma protein gene reduces diet-induced obesity, insulin resistance, and hepatosteatosis in mice [PDF]
Udgivelsesdato: 2009-JulBrown adipose tissue activity dissipates energy as heat, and there is evidence that lack of the retinoblastoma protein (pRb) may favor the development of the brown adipocyte phenotype in adipose cells. In this work we assessed the

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Mitochondrial lipoylation integrates age-associated decline in brown fat thermogenesis. [PDF]
Thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) declines with age; however, what regulates this process remains poorly understood. Here, we identify mitochondria lipoylation as a previously unappreciated molecular hallmark of aged BAT in mice.

Resveratrol and Pterostilbene, Two Analogue Phenolic Compounds, Affect Aquaglyceroporin Expression in a Different Manner in Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channels that mediate glycerol release and glycerol uptake. They are involved in fat metabolism, with implications in obesity. The aim was to determine whether the administration of resveratrol and pterostilbene

Pressure skin wounds are frequent complications after spinal cord injury (SCI), with impaired healing due to vascular and immune deficits. Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELP) fused to α‐MSH (MSH‐ELP) or MCP‐1 (MCP‐ELP) are developed and tested on these wounds. The resulting nanoparticles are non‐toxic and bioactive, and they enhance macrophage recruitment,

BAF60a deficiency uncouples chromatin accessibility and cold sensitivity from white fat browning
The regulatory networks that govern chromatin accessibility and gene expression in brown and beigeadipocytes remain to be fully elucidated. Here the authors use fat-specific inactivation of BAF60a toreveal a differential role for this chromatin ...

Premature browning in cooked ground beef after modifying myoglobin [PDF]
Some ground beef patties developed an internal, brown cooked color and looked well-done at temperatures as low as 131 ̊F, whereas normal patties were re d to pink.

Sweetosomes, a new class of fucose‐decorated liposomes, are developed via a one‐step microfluidic process without surface chemistry. This study elucidates their main caveolae‐mediated entry and distinct endosomal trafficking. These nanostructures demonstrate superior endosomal escape, organelle acidity modulation, and prolonged plasma persistence ...
