Neuroendocrinology of Lactation

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1974
Although other hormones influence the quantity of milk secretion, prolactin and adrenal corticosteroids are essential for initiating and maintaining lactation. During pregnancy high levels of estrogen and progesterone inhibit lactation, and elevation of prolactin and ACTH-adrenal corticosteroid levels result in the initiation of lactation at the end of

In vivo evidence for glycyl radical insertion into a catalytically inactive variant of pyruvate formate‐lyase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dimeric pyruvate formate‐lyase cleaves pyruvate using a radical‐based mechanism. G734 serves as a radical storage location, and the radical is transferred to the catalytic C419 residue. Mutation of the C418‐C419 pair causes loss of enzyme activity, but does not impede radical introduction onto G734. Therefore, cis‐ but not trans‐radical transfer occurs

Forceful Milk Ejection Reflex and Tongue-Tied Neonates’ Breastfeeding Behaviour

Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology
Background: Forceful milk ejection reflex in mothers and tongue-tie in infants often cause breastfeeding difficulties. Our purpose was to observe the breastfeeding behavior of tongue-tied neonates, in the presence of forceful milk ...

Dysoxia and lactate [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1999
Disturbances of oxygen supply or cellular oxygen metabolism are common in critically ill patients. An understanding of dysoxia, or oxygen limited energy depletion, requires an understanding of the normal physiology of cell oxygen metabolism, and the compensatory mechanisms that supply high energy molecules under conditions of hypoxia.

Identification of functional and diverse circulating cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Role of human milk banks amid COVID 19: perspective from a milk bank in India

International Breastfeeding Journal, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the operation of donor human milk banks in various countries such as China, Italy and India. It is understandable that this impact on operations of donor human milk might hamper the capability of ...

Integrative systems‐level analysis reveals a contextual crosstalk between hypoxia and global metabolism in human breast tumors

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Breast tumor samples scored for metabolic deregulation (M1 to M3) were given a hypoxia score (HS). The highest HS occurred in patients with strongest metabolic deregulation (M3), supporting tumor aggressiveness. HS correlated with the highest number of metabolic pathways in M1. This suggests hypoxia to be an early event in metabolic deregulation.

Enantioselectivity of (321) chiral noble metal surfaces: A Density Functional Theory study of lactate adsorption [PDF]

, 2013
The adsorption of the chiral molecule lactate on the intrinsically chiral noble metal surfaces Pt(321), Au(321) and Ag(321) is studied by Density Functional Theory calculations. We use the oPBE-vdW functional which includes van der Waals forces on an ab initio level.

Obesity alters the fitness of peritumoral adipose tissue, exacerbating tumor invasiveness in renal cancer through the induction of ADAM12 and CYP1B1

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor microenvironment drives cancer formation and progression. We analyzed the role of human cancer‐associated adipocytes from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stratified as lean, overweight, or obese. RNA‐seq demonstrated that, among the most altered genes involved in the tumor–stroma crosstalk, are ADAM12 and CYP1B1, which were proven to be ...

Respiratory complex I‐mediated NAD+ regeneration regulates cancer cell proliferation through the transcriptional and translational control of p21Cip1 expression by SIRT3 and SIRT7

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
NAD+ regeneration by mitochondrial complex I NADH dehydrogenase is important for cancer cell proliferation. Specifically, NAD+ is necessary for the activities of NAD+‐dependent deacetylases SIRT3 and SIRT7, which suppress the expression of p21Cip1 cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor, an antiproliferative molecule, at the translational and transcriptional
