Prolonged exposure to insulin might cause epigenetic alteration leading to insulin resistance
Our research identifies one possible mechanism of insulin resistance observed in type II diabetes. We show that even short‐term exposure to elevated levels of insulin without glucose stimulation (low glucose conditions) could lead to insulin resistance and the underlying cause could be epigenetic alterations leading to impaired PI3/AKT signalling ...

Genomes, expression profiles, and diversity of mitochondria of the White-footed Deermouse Peromyscus leucopus, reservoir of Lyme disease and other zoonoses. [PDF]
The cricetine rodents Peromyscus leucopus and P. maniculatus are key reservoirs for several zoonotic diseases in North America. We determined the complete circular mitochondrial genome sequences of representatives of 3 different stock colonies of P ...

ABSTRACT A small Mesolithic camp site near Sammakko in northernmost Sweden has been identified through its abundance of burnt bone and quartz refuse from stone tool manufacturing/maintenance. Radiocarbon dating places hunter–gatherer activity here around 8900 years ago, 1800 years later than the oldest known settlement in Norrbotten, the Aareavaara ...
