Metabolic Activity of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) on Glycemia and Leptinemia in Experimental Animals Fed a Cafeteria Diet [PDF]
Objectives: To elucidate the relationship of hCG administration to glycemia, Non Esterified Fatty Acids (NEFA), leptin and adiponectin levels on experimental animals previously submitted to a cafeteria diet, and then to a Low Calorie Diet (LCD).

On the Role of LHC and HL-LHC in Constraining Flavor Changing Neutral Currents
The Standard Model (SM) has no flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes at the tree level. Therefore, processes featuring FCNC in new physics are tightly constrained by data.
