Association between cognitive performance and cortical glucose metabolism in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Background: Neuronal and synaptic function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is measured in vivo by glucose metabolism using positron emission tomography (PET). Objective: We hypothesized that neuronal activation as measured by PET is a more sensitive index of

PDK1 regulation of mTOR and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 integrate metabolism and migration of CD8 T cells [PDF]
mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) controls transcriptional programs that determine CD8 cytolytic T cell (CTL) fate. In some cell systems, mTORC1 couples phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) and Akt to the control of glucose uptake and ...

The Fatty Liver Index, the Strongest Risk Factor for Low Testosterone Level
Introduction: The study aimed to determine if hepatic steatosis assessed by fatty liver index (FLI) was an independent risk factor for male low testosterone level and whether the FLI was the strongest risk factor for low testosterone level in two ...

Coordinated balancing of muscle oxidative metabolism through PGC-1α increases metabolic flexibility and preserves insulin sensitivity [PDF]
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) enhances oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. Excessive lipid oxidation and electron transport chain activity can, however, lead to the accumulation of harmful metabolites and ...

Modeling Glucose Metabolism in the Kidney [PDF]
The mammalian kidney consumes a large amount of energy to support the reabsorptive work it needs to excrete metabolic wastes and to maintain homeostasis. Part of that energy is supplied via the metabolism of glucose. To gain insights into the transport and metabolic processes in the kidney, we have developed a detailed model of the renal medulla of the

Association between traffic-related air pollution, subclinical inflammation and impaired glucose metabolism : results from the SALIA study [PDF]
Environmental and lifestyle factors regulate the expression and release of immune mediators. It has been hypothesised that ambient air pollution may be such an external factor and that the association between air pollution and impaired glucose metabolism
