Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

The coastal record of tsunamis in the INQUA ESI-2007 scale

, 2014
Seismic Intensity scales are based on the effects of earthquakes on man, man-made structures and on natural environment. However, the effects on the environment have been usually minimized because they were considered as inaccurate features. The growth of Palaeoseismology as an independent discipline led to the development of the ESI-2007 Intensity ...

De Stupro: First Insights on Rape and Its Prosecution in Maltese Courts (1701–10)

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article constitutes a first in‐depth investigation of rape and the prosecution of this crime in early eighteenth‐century Malta. The research, which is based on sixteen rape accusations claimed at the secular courts in Malta between 1701 and 1710, has analysed cases categorized as ‘simple rape’, ‘violent rape’ and rape committed under the ...

The Provenance of Silver in the Viking‐Age Hoard From Bedale, North Yorkshire

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The acquisition of silver was a key motive propelling the Viking expansion out of Scandinavia; identifying the sources of Viking silver during the early part of the Viking Age can provide critical insights into the relative significance of western European and eastern, Islamic wealth in the Viking expansion.

The 26‐year threshold in a high‐uninsured state: Evidence from Texas

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract The Affordable Care Act's dependent‐coverage mandate reduced uninsurance among young adults, but less is known about the consequences of losing parental insurance at age 26. Using a regression discontinuity design and 2011–2021 Texas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data, I find a sharp 5–7 pp (8%) coverage drop at the cutoff,

Virgin Coconut Oil Attenuates Diabetic Kidney Disease via Gut Microbiota‐Metabolism‐Inflammation Axis Modulation in Type 2 Diabetic Mice [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
This study elucidates the multi‐targeted mechanisms of Virgin Coconut Oil (CO) as a dietary intervention for ameliorating Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). High‐purity medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs, primarily octanoic acid [C8:0] and decanoic acid [C10:0]) in CO significantly remodel the gut microbiota by enriching short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA ...

Demonstration of a High‐Resolution Passive Profiler for Characterizing the Distribution of PFAS in Groundwater: A Comparison of Methods in the Field

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Characterizing the concentration and mass flux spatial distributions at sites with complex hydrogeologic conditions is critical to evaluate the fate and transport of contaminants, as well as to design effective remediation programs. PFAS (per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances)‐contaminated sites are even more complex due to the large number of ...

Arabidopsis inositol polyphosphate kinase activities regulate COP9 deneddylation functions in phosphate homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant phosphate (Pi) homeostasis relies on coordinated activities of the inositol polyphosphate kinases IPK1 and ITPK1, which balance localized InsP7 biosynthesis to control COP9 signalosome (CSN)‐dependent deneddylation of cullin 1 (CUL1). Perturbation of this equilibrium affects the stability of SPX4, a key negative regulator of phosphate starvation ...

A posttranslational proteomic survey of a single anatomically preserved human 20‐week postconception brain

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A well‐preserved 20 post‐conception week human brain was obtained and finely dissected into 18 anatomically distinct regions, including the pia mater. Each region underwent in‐depth proteomic analysis, encompassing both total protein content and post‐translational modifications.
