Relationship between locus coeruleus and slow-wave sleep in aging and Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Sleep disruption, particularly loss of slow‐wave sleep (SWS), is common in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its neurobiological underpinnings remain unclear. We investigated whether locus coeruleus (LC) integrity relates to SWS across the AD continuum and whether sex and perivascular spaces (PVSs) modify these associations.

ChREBP-driven DNL and PNPLA3 Expression Induced by Liquid Fructose are Essential in the Production of Fatty Liver and Hypertriglyceridemia in a High-Fat Diet-Fed Rat Model. [PDF]
Rats receive a high fat diet with (HFHFr) and without liquid fructose (HFD). At the end of the experiment, body weight is unchanged, due to increased in thermogenesis. There are minor metabolic changes in livers from HFD‐fed rats, while HFHFr fed‐rats show liver steatosis and hypertriglyceridemia.

Electric vehicles (EV) are fast becoming an integral part of our evolving society. There is a growing movement in advanced countries to replace gas‐driven vehicles with EVs towards cutting down pollution from emissions. When fully integrated into society, electric vehicles will share from energy available on the grid; therefore, it is important to ...
