Sweat out the fat with TSLP! Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a cytokine that can promote immune responses characterize allergic diseases. Choa et al . found mice engineered to produce elevated TSLP displayed selective white adipose tissue loss protected them from obesity, insulin resistance, and steatohepatitis (see Perspective by Schneider). Protection was not mediated eosinophils, regulatory T cells, or innate lymphoid cells. Rather, TLSP induced migration of conventional cells...
Abstract Investigations of many crimes such as robberies, kidnappings, and terrorism are often associated with the recovery a paper document which has been written by perpetrator. Paper can provide variety forensic evidence DNA, latent fingermarks, indented writing. The focus this study was DNA from handwritten notes through vacuum suction device while preserving other types integrity document. Copy used to create documents sheets deliberate fingerprints, indentations. homemade consists...
In humans and rodents, the timing of food consumption is a major contributor to body weight regulation. Sleep-wake cycle disruptions circadian misalignment due shifts from diurnal nocturnal lifestyle produce abnormal rhythms metabolic dysfunction. However, consequences consistent, prolonged delayed eating pattern compared with daytime one, are unknown. 8 healthy adults (age: 26.25 ± 3.2y; BMI: 22.39 1.9 kg/m2; 4 females) participated in randomized cross-over study free-living conditions 2...
Abstract Within the past 30 years, obesity and associated disorders such as Type II diabetes are rapidly becoming world-wide epidemics. diabetes, caused by loss of insulin sensitivity, accounts for $327 billion annually in U.S. Recent studies have shown that immune system plays a critical role regulating metabolic function adipose tissue. Importantly, is disease chronic low-grade inflammation, T regulatory cells (Tregs) can help maintain sensitivity suppressing inflammation monocytes, CD8 T,...
Abstract Obesity is a serious public health concern. Emerging studies indicate that the immune system can regulate weight and energy homeostasis. Here we show cytokine Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) stimulates T cells to induce selective white adipose loss, which protects against obesity, improves glucose metabolism, mitigates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Surprisingly, loss was not caused by alterations in food intake, absorption, or expenditure. Rather, it excessive of lipids through...
