Abstract Background Three genes clustered together on chromosome 12 comprise a group of hydroxycarboxylic acid receptors (HCARs): HCAR1 , HCAR2 and HCAR3 . These paralogous encode different G-protein coupled responsible for detecting glycolytic metabolites controlling fatty oxidation. Though better known regulating lipid metabolism in adipocytes, more recently, HCARs have been functionally associated with breast cancer proliferation/survival; has described as tumor suppressor oncogenes....

Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are rare in pregnancy, and typically present the second trimester with size-greater-than-dates, abdominal pain, or nonspecific symptoms. Case: A 31-year-old gravida 1 female presented postpartum period weight loss, cachexia, an mass, persistent unexplained tachycardia. She was found to have a recurrent metastatic gastrointestinal tumor pulmonary emboli. anticoagulated treated neoadjuvant imatinib therapy excellent initial response. Unfortunately,...
