A novel technique for selective NF-kappa B inhibition in Kupffer cells: contrary effects in fulminant hepatitis and ischaemia-reperfusion. [PDF]
, 2009 Background and aims: The transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) has risen as a promising target for anti-inflammatory therapeutics. In the liver, however, NFkB inhibition mediates both damaging and protective effects.

Genetic Testing of Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young Current Status and Future Perspectives
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Diabetes is a global epidemic problem growing exponentially in Asian countries posing a serious threat. Among diabetes, maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a heterogeneous group of monogenic disorders that occurs due to β cell dysfunction ...

Searching for "monogenic diabetes" in dogs using a candidate gene approach [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Canine diabetes is a common endocrine disorder with an estimated breed-related prevalence ranging from 0.005% to 1.5% in pet dogs. Increased prevalence in some breeds suggests that diabetes in dogs is influenced by genetic factors and ...

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha is associated with UGT1A1, UGT1A9 and UGT2B7 mRNA expression in human liver [PDF]
The Pharmacogenomics Journal, 2007 Experimental evidence suggests HNF1alpha regulates UGT expression. This study investigates (1) whether the variability in HNF1alpha expression is associated with the variability in UGT1A1, UGT1A9 and UGT2B7 expression in human livers and (2) the functionality of 12 HNF1alpha variants using mRNA expression as phenotype.

Post-translational deregulation of YAP1 is genetically controlled in rat liver cancer and determines the fate and stem-like behavior of the human disease [PDF]
, 2016 Previous studies showed that YAP1 is over-expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we observed higher expression of Yap1/Ctgf axis in dysplastic nodules and HCC chemically-induced in F344 rats, genetically susceptible to hepatocarcinogenesis ...
