Time course metabolome of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass confirms correlation between leptin, body weight and the microbiome
(2018-05-31)
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective way to lose weight and reverse type 2 dia- betes. We profiled the metabolome of 18 obese patients (nine euglycemic and nine diabet- ics) that underwent RYGB surgery and seven ...
Strategies to improve palatability and increase consumption intentions for momordica charantia (bitter melon): A vegetable commonly used for diabetes management
(2011-07-28)
Background Although beneficial to health, dietary phytonutrients are bitter, acid and/or astringent in taste and therefore reduce consumer choice and acceptance during food selection. Momordica charantia, commonly known ...
Adults and Children in Low-Income Households That Participate in Cost-Offset Community Supported Agriculture Have High Fruit and Vegetable Consumption
(2017-07-08)
This paper examines fruit and vegetable intake (FVI) in low-income households that participated in a cost-offset (CO), or 50% subsidized, community-supported agriculture (CSA) program. CSA customers paid farms upfront for ...
Phosphorylation state of a Tob/BTG protein, FOG-3, regulates initiation and maintenance of the Caenorhabditis elegans sperm fate program
(2011-05-12)
FOG-3, the single Caenorhabditis elegans Tob/BTG protein, directs germ cells to adopt the sperm fate at the expense of oogenesis. Importantly, FOG-3 activity must be maintained for the continued production of sperm that ...

Anatomical-Molecular Distribution of EphrinA1 in Infarcted Mouse Heart Using MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging
(2018-01-05)
EphrinA1 is a tyrosine kinase receptor localized in the cellular membrane of healthy cardiomyocytes, the expression of which is lost upon myocardial infarction (MI). Intra-cardiac injection of the recombinant form of ...
Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Abstract
Background
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration ...
Pgrmc1 Knockout Impairs Oocyte Maturation in Zebrafish
(2018-09-24)
Recent investigations suggest progestin receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) associates with and transports a wide range of molecules such as heme, cytochromes P450, steroids with 21 carbons, membrane progestin receptor ...
Molecular Connections between Cancer Cell Metabolism and the Tumor Microenvironment
(2015)
Cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis, instead of oxidative phosphorylation,
for metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis,
referred to as the “Warburg effect”, commonly ...
