A Novel 9‐Channel 1H, 3‐Channel 31P Radiofrequency Coil for Interleaved Multinuclear Studies of Human Calf Muscle at 7 T

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a double‐tuned calf coil with excellent 1H and 31P performance to study muscle physiology by interleaved 1H/31P MRS and parallel imaging at 7 T. Methods The coil combines three 1H transceive dipoles, six 1H receive‐only loops and three 31P transceive loops, arranged in a nested, half‐cylindrical layout.

Taurine and proliferation of lymphocytes in physically restrained rats

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
Background Taurine is present in lymphocytes and seems to modulate certain immune cell functions. Among the effects of taurine on these cells are protection against antioxidants and regulation of inflammatory aspects of the immune response.

Inter‐Individual Differences in T1, T2, and Proton Density Using Quantitative Synthetic Imaging for 1H‐MRS Quantification

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Metabolite concentrations can be determined from proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) data using water as an internal reference. This calculation requires tissue‐specific water T1 and T2 relaxation constants and proton density (PD).

Effect of phospholipids and bile acids on cholesterol nucleation time and vesicular/micellar cholesterol in gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol stones [PDF]

, 1993
Supersaturation and rapid nucleation of cholesterol in bile are of key importance in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. While the effects of bile acids and phospholipids on cholesterol saturation of bile have been extensively studied, their ...

Scans for signatures of selection in Russian cattle breed genomes reveal new candidate genes for environmental adaptation and acclimation [PDF]

, 2018
Domestication and selective breeding has resulted in over 1000 extant cattle breeds. Many of these breeds do not excel in important traits but are adapted to local environments.

Spectral Representation of Neurochemicals With Phase, Frequency Offset, and Lineshape Invariance: Application to JPRESS for In Vivo Concentration and T2 Mapping by Deep Learning

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Using artificial intelligence neural networks to generate a representation that maps the input directly to neurochemical concentrations and metabolite‐level average transverse relaxation times (T2). Methods The proposed model used time‐domain JPRESS data as input and was trained to be invariant to phase shifts, frequency offsets, and ...

Taurine reduces microglia activation in the brain of aged senescence-accelerated mice by increasing the level of TREM2

Scientific Reports
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a chronic neurodegenerative disorder, is the leading cause of dementia. Over-activated microglia is related to amyloid-beta (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau (phospho-tau) accumulation in the AD brain.

Activation of Glycine and Extrasynaptic GABAA Receptors by Taurine on the Substantia Gelatinosa Neurons of the Trigeminal Subnucleus Caudalis

Neural Plasticity, 2013
The substantia gelatinosa (SG) of the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) has been known for the processing and transmission of orofacial nociceptive information. Taurine, one of the most plentiful free amino-acids in humans, has proved to be involved in

Supplementary parenteral arginine corrects hypoargininaemia and rebalances plasma amino acid profiles in very preterm infants receiving parenteral nutrition: A prospective study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Plasma amino acid (AA) profiles in parenteral nutrition (PN)–dependent very preterm infants (VPIs) consistently show overprovision of essential AA (EAA) and arginine deficiency. This may have implications for growth and immune/inflammatory responses.

The ketogenic diet alters microbiome‐metabolome profiles to improve West syndrome therapy

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
The ketogenic diet alleviates West syndrome by reshaping gut microbiota (increasing Bacteroides, Parabacteroides, and reducing Escherichia and Bifidobacterium), and modulating metabolites—including anticonvulsant lipids (e.g., capric acid), suppressed harmful lipids (e.g., 2‐methylbutyroylcarnitine), and amino acids and analogs (e.g., 3‐sulfinoalanine)—
