KK/San is a mutant mouse strain established in our laboratory from KK obese mice. mice show low plasma lipid levels compared with wild-type despite showing signs of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Recently, we identified mutation the gene encoding angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3) mice, injection adenoviruses encodingAngptl3 or recombinant ANGPTL3 to raised levels. To elucidate regulatory mechanism on metabolism, focused metabolic pathways triglyceride present study. Overexpression...
Abstract To investigate the system used by insects to recognize invading microorganisms, we examined proteins from larval hemolymph of Bombyx mori that bind cell surface microorganisms. Two bound surfaces Micrococcus luteus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were shown be identical. This protein all 11 microorganisms examined–5 Gram-negative bacteria, 3 Gram-positive yeasts–and was consequently designated B. multibinding (BmMBP). The sequence cDNA encoding BmMBP revealed it a C-type lectin with...
A mating disruption experiment to control Melanotus okinawensis Ohira (Coleoptera: Elateridae) was conducted at a sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) field and wild Japanese pampas, Miscanthus sinensis Anderss, grassland on Minami-Daito Island (3,057 ha) from 2001 2007. The the pampas were treated with synthetic sex pheromone that evaporated polyethylene tube dispenser. mean total catches obtained by monitoring traps in fields decreased 96.1% previous year Island. trap area further 74.0% until 2007...
