Abstract Purpose The treatment of Achilles tendon (AT) rupture can be conservative or surgical; the latter is better indicated in high‐performance athletes. The pursuit of faster recovery and reductions in skin complications and re‐ruptures have improved the tendon repair technique and early assisted rehabilitation programs.

Phorbol esters stimulate the phosphorylation of receptors for insulin and somatomedin C. [PDF]
The effect of phorbol esters on the extent of phosphorylation of receptors for insulin and somatomedin C (insulin-like growth factor I) was studied in intact IM-9 cells that were labeled by incubation with H332PO4. The tumor-promoting phorbol esters phorbol tetradecanoate acetate (TPA) and phorbol dibutyrate, but not the inactive 4 alpha-phorbol ...

Probiotics and spirulina are used to improve health, growth, and immunity of fish. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of water additive probiotics and dietary Spirulina platensis on growth (weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR)), hematobiochemical parameters (hemoglobin (Hb) and blood glucose (Glu)), intestinal histology ...

Insulin‐Like Growth Factors, Binding Proteins and Their Role in Pregnancy in Patients With Diabetes
The insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) axis, an evolutionarily conserved system, is critical in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival, affecting nearly all organ systems. This axis comprises two growth factors, IGF‐I and IGF‐II, and six insulin‐like growth factor–binding proteins (IGFBPs), modulating IGF activity.

Competitive Binding of Somatomedin to the Insulin Receptors of Adipocytes, Chondrocytes, and Liver Membranes [PDF]
The action of growth hormone on skeletal tissue is mediated through somatomedin, a low molecular weight peptide found in serum. This peptide, formerly known as “sulfation factor” or “thymidine factor,” produces marked insulin-like effects in various target tissues. Since at least some of the metabolic effects of insulin on target cells are

Chondroitin sulfate in invertebrate development
Abstract Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is one of the most evolutionarily conserved glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Although CS's function in skeletal development is well established in vertebrates, CS exists in more primitive animal species with no cartilage or bone, such as C.

Proteomic exploration of potential blood biomarkers in haemophilic arthropathy
Abstract Background and Aims The pathophysiology of haemophilic arthropathy (HA) is complex and largely undefined. Proteomic analyses provide insights into the intricate mechanisms of the HA. Our study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins in relation to the severity of HA, explore their pathophysiological roles, and evaluate their ...

This study examined the effects of metformin (MF) and trodusquemine (MSI‐1436) on the livers of young, developing mice. We discovered that MSI‐1436 significantly alters mRNA and miRNA expression more potently than MF, impacting key metabolic pathways.

Scale‐Dependent Rheology of Synovial Fluid Lubricating Macromolecules
A multiscale methodology using optical tweezers is developed to examine the interactions between hyaluronic acid (HA) and proteoglycan‐4 (PRG4/lubricin), which are major lubricating biomolecules of synovial fluid in the joints. For the first time, the length scale dependent structure and rheology in solution are characterized, providing a framework for
