Obesity, White Adipose Tissue, and Adipokines Signaling in Male Reproduction
Role of adipokines in the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal axis (HPG) during obesity. Obesity induces structural and functional changes in WAT, with a consequent imbalance in the production and secretion of adipokines. While the adipokines adiponectin and omentin‐1 are downregulated, the adipokines leptin, resistin, vifastin, apelin, and chemerin are ...

Modeling Iodine Deficiency [PDF]
This paper presents a four-unit, four-component mathematical model of iodine metabolism and its impact on thyroid hormone levels in the body. We focus on the relationships between iodine (I-), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) through the mixer, thyroid, sensor (pituitary gland), and metabolism. Iodine plays a

ABSTRACT Regeneration after peripheral nerve injury is often insufficient for functional recovery. Postoperative electrical stimulation (PES) following injury and repair significantly improves clinical outcomes; recently, conditioning electrical stimulation (CES), delivered before nerve injury, has been introduced as a candidate for clinical ...

Food insecurity promotes adiposity in mice
Abstract Objective The obesity epidemic, driven by a complex interplay of environmental and biological factors, remains a significant global health challenge. Herein, we investigate the impact of food insecurity, characterized by unpredictable food access, on the regulation of body weight and body composition in mice.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to examine the bidirectional associations between indicators of adiposity and mental health. Methods Using longitudinal data from 60,319 UK Biobank participants, we explored the bidirectional associations between mental health (including neuroticism, recent depressive symptoms, probable depression status, stress ...

ABSTRACT Background Ependymoma is a common brain tumor in children and adolescents. Adjuvant radiation therapy improves prognosis but carries potential toxicity risks, particularly for young patients. Proton therapy (PT) offers better conformal treatments and reduces dose exposure compared to traditional photon radiotherapy.
