Morphological and Biochemical Adaptive Changes Associated With A Short-period Starvation of Adult Male Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica) [PDF]
Background The morphological and biochemical impact of a short-period of starvation on Japanese quail was investigated. Materials and methods Ten adult male Japanese quail were divided into two groups; control fed and starved. The control-fed group was offered food and water ad libitum and the starved group was subjected to a short-period of food ...

The High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Hypothesis Revisited
BACKGROUND: The strong inverse association of plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with coronary heart disease (CHD) found in human epidemiological studies led to the development of the ‘HDL-C hypothesis’, which posits that ...

The triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio identifies children who may be at risk of developing cardiometabolic disease [PDF]
Aim: It is important to develop simple, reliable methods to identify high-risk individuals who may benefit from intervention. This study investigated the association between the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio and ...

Apolipoprotein M promotes cholesterol uptake and efflux from mouse macrophages
Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) exhibits various anti‐atherosclerotic functions as a component of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR‐BI) is a classic HDL receptor that mediates selective cholesterol uptake and ...

Serum level of fibroblast growth factor 21 in type 2 diabetic patients with and without metabolic syndrome [PDF]
Effect of FGF21 on metabolic syndrome patients is not exactly clear. In the present study, we assessed serum level of fibroblast growth factor 21 in type 2 diabetic patients with and without metabolic syndrome in Gorgan. The study groups consisted of 120

Multi-modal Predictive Models of Diabetes Progression [PDF]
With the increasing availability of wearable devices, continuous monitoring of individuals' physiological and behavioral patterns has become significantly more accessible. Access to these continuous patterns about individuals' statuses offers an unprecedented opportunity for studying complex diseases and health conditions such as type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Multi-source domain adaptation for regression [PDF]
Multi-source domain adaptation (DA) aims at leveraging information from more than one source domain to make predictions in a target domain, where different domains may have different data distributions. Most existing methods for multi-source DA focus on classification problems while there is only limited investigation in the regression settings.
