The role of CXCL10 in high‐fat diet–induced skeletal muscle inflammation and atrophy

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Obesity is often accompanied by skeletal muscle atrophy, which aggravates insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Chronic inflammation is implicated in this process, but the molecular mediators linking obesity‐induced inflammation to muscle wasting have remained unclear.

Composition of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides and their apoptosis-inducing effect on human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells

Food & Nutrition Research, 2015
Background: Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) is a natural functional component that has a variety of biological activities. The molecular structures and apoptosis-inducing activities on human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells of two LBP fractions, LBP-d and ...

Morphological and molecular evidence reveals a new species of Characidium from the Ucayali‐Urubamba Piedmont, Peru, and novel molecular clades are proposed within the genus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from the Urubamba River basin, within the Ucayali‐Urubamba Piedmont ecoregion, Peru. The new species can be readily distinguished from all congeners, except Characidium cacah, Characidium chicoi, Characidium helmeri, Characidium mirim, Characidium nana, Characidium nupelia, Characidium sterbai ...

A new South American darter (Crenuchidae: Characidium) from rivers draining the Northeastern Mata Atlantica Freshwater Ecoregion, Brazil: morphological and molecular evidence

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Characidium tupi, a new species from rivers draining the southern portion of the Northeastern Mata Atlantica Freshwater Ecoregion, is described. The new species can be distinguished from all congeners by its colour pattern, including 7–14 dark bars enlarged and more conspicuous on their ventralmost portion, resulting in a longitudinal series ...

Integrative taxonomy reveals four new species of the armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the upper Paraná River basin, Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Four new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina are described from mountain ranges in the Grande River drainage, upper Paraná River basin, based on morphological and molecular species delimitation methods. Molecular analyses based on the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) marker recovered Pareiorhina as polyphyletic ...

Granulocyte colony stimulating factor induces lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensitization via upregulation of LPS binding protein in rat.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Liver is the main organ for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) clearance. Sensitization to LPS is associated with the upregulation of LPS-binding protein (LBP) in animal models.

Is comorbidity in adolescence a predictor for adult low back pain? A prospective study of a young population

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2006
Background It has previously been shown that low back pain (LBP) often presents already in the teenage years and that previous LBP predicts future LBP.

Improving Texture Categorization with Biologically Inspired Filtering

, 2013
Within the domain of texture classification, a lot of effort has been spent on local descriptors, leading to many powerful algorithms. However, preprocessing techniques have received much less attention despite their important potential for improving the
