Stereospecific analysis of triglycerides: an alternative method

Journal of Lipid Research, 1967
A new method for the stereospecific analysis of triglycerides is demonstrated on a corn oil which had been analyzed by an earlier method. The triglyceride (1,2,3-triacyl l-glycerol) was partially degraded by means of methyl magnesium bromide.

Secondary Phenotype Analysis in Ascertained Family Designs: Application to the Leiden Longevity Study [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The case-control design is often used to test associations between the case-control status and genetic variants. In addition to this primary phenotype a number of additional traits, known as secondary phenotypes, are routinely recorded and typically associations between genetic factors and these secondary traits are studied too.

FABP4 as a Mediator of Lipid Metabolism and Pregnant Uterine Dysfunction in Obesity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Obesity during late pregnancy contributes to uterine smooth muscle dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study identifies fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) as a key player in the process, mediating excessive fatty acid uptake, lipid accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in myometrial cells. FABP4 could be a novel uterine

Sex differences in body composition in youth with type 1 diabetes and its predictive value in cardiovascular disease risk assessment

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are more susceptible than men to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Signs of increased risk may already appear among adolescent girls. Objectives We explored the contribution of body composition to the development of CVD risk factors among youth with T1D.

Enhancing Metabolic Syndrome Prediction with Hybrid Data Balancing and Counterfactuals [PDF]

arXiv
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of interrelated risk factors that significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Despite its global prevalence, accurate prediction of MetS remains challenging due to issues such as class imbalance, data scarcity, and methodological inconsistencies in existing studies.

High-dimensional confounding adjustment using continuous spike and slab priors [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In observational studies, estimation of a causal effect of a treatment on an outcome relies on proper adjustment for confounding. If the number of the potential confounders ($p$) is larger than the number of observations ($n$), then direct control for all potential confounders is infeasible.

Brown adipose tissue and regulation of human body weight

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Approximately 30% of the global population is affected by obesity. Traditional non‐surgical measures for weight loss have limited efficacy and tolerability. Therefore, there is a need for novel, effective therapies. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been implicated in physiological energy expenditure, indicating that it could be ...

Correlation Between Blood Glucose Level and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Markers in Neurologically Asymptomatic, Nondiabetic Individuals

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
The prevalence of neurologically asymptomatic CSVD is common in the nondiabetic population. Glycated hemoglobin A1c correlated with periventricular white matter hyperintensities. Fasting blood glucose was associated with deep cerebral microbleeds. Better control of blood glucose may have a beneficial effect on reducing the risk of CSVD.
