Identification of a Novel Gene for Diabetic Traits in Rats, Mice, and Humans [PDF]
The genetic basis of type 2 diabetes remains incompletely defined despite the use of multiple genetic strategies. Multiparental populations such as heterogeneous stocks (HS) facilitate gene discovery by allowing fine mapping to only a few megabases ...

Mechanisms altering airway smooth muscle cell Ca(2+) homeostasis in two asthma models [PDF]
Background: Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, altered mucus production and airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) contraction causing extensive airway narrowing. In particular, alterations of ASMC contractility seem to be of crucial importance. The

Organ Specificity and Commonality of Epigenetic Aging in Low‐ and High‐Running Capacity Rats
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is not associated with epigenetic clocks, including newly developed ones. On the other hand, CRF is associated with global methylation profiles and promoter methylation in organ‐specific and organ‐common manner. ABSTRACT Epigenetic drift, which is gradual age‐related changes in DNA methylation patterns, plays a ...

ABSTRACT Aim To compare less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and intubation‐surfactant‐extubation (INSURE) in infants born before 28 weeks gestational age (GA) by the need for mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods LISA was introduced in 2017 in our unit without formal prior LISA‐specific training as an equal alternative to INSURE.

Topological Analysis of Metabolic Networks Integrating Co-Segregating Transcriptomes and Metabolomes in Type 2 Diabetic Rat Congenic Series [PDF]
Background: The genetic regulation of metabolic phenotypes (i.e., metabotypes) in type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by complex organ-specific cellular mechanisms contributing to impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance.

Real‐World Therapeutic Hypothermia for Neonatal HIE: Neurodevelopmental Outcomes and Predictors
ABSTRACT Aim This study assessed neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates with hypoxic‐ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) outside randomised controlled trials (RCTs). It also aimed to identify predictors of outcomes and evaluate TH practices across centres.

Adolescent D-amphetamine treatment in a rodent model of ADHD: pro-cognitive effects during adolescence and cocaine abuse risk during adulthood [PDF]
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is comorbid with cocaine abuse. Whereas initiating ADHD medication in childhood does not alter later cocaine abuse risk, initiating medication during adolescence may increase risk.
