Obesity and metabolic syndrome reflect the dysregulation of molecular pathways that control energy homeostasis.Here, we show that the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) controls energy expenditure in obese mice on a high-fat diet (HFD).Despite no changes in food intake, p75NTR-null mice were protected from HFD-induced Planner obesity and remained l
Wheat of medium hardness with marbled endosperm (transitional form between hard and soft wheat) in which glassy and floury zones alternate, form almost exclusively available assortment for brewing needs in Southeastern Europe.The aim of this work is to establish the influence of the grain texture and the degree of milling on the attenuation limit o
Abstract Background Salivary proteins from sandflies are potential targets for exploitation as vaccines to control Leishmania infection; in this work we tested the hypothesis that salivary proteins from geographically distant Phlebotomus duboscqi sandfly populations are highly divergent due to the pressure exerted by the host immune response.Saliva
Finding effective ways to collaborate, and to create and share knowledge among people who are connected via disperse networks is one of the most challenging tasks.Many of our traditional learning models and educational systems are Hat Bands not yet ready for new forms of collaboration and knowledge management due to recent technology advancement.To
