Abstract Childhood studies of the fat-bone relationship are conflicting, possibly reflecting influence metabolic abnormalities in some but not all obese children. Bone mass was compared between prepubertal overweight children with (n = 41) and without 99) prediabetes. Associations bone measures total central adiposity, glucose intolerance, insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, systemic inflammation, osteocalcin also were determined. In 140 aged 7 to 11 years, an oral tolerance test used...

Amphiphilic gadolinium complexes were investigated as potential magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. A series of was synthesized in order to study the effect hydrophilic phosphodiester groups on albumin binding, relaxivity, and blood half-life rats. Thus, compound 11a, a diethylenetriaminepentaacetato aquo gadolinium(III) (Gd-DTPA) derivative with an octyl substituent, compared 5b, analogous containing linkage between chelate alkyl chain. Likewise, 11b, naphthyl Gd-DTPA...

Islet neogenesis associated protein (INGAP) is a factor that can stimulate new islet mass from adult pancreatic progenitor cells. In models of neogenesis, INGAP expression elevated in acinar Using transgenic model to drive sustained cells, we have identified protection chemical-induced hyperglycemia. A during development did not perturb or basal blood glucose homeostasis, although β-cell and insulin content were significantly increased the mice. When challenged with diabetogenic dose...

Excess fat within bone marrow is associated with lower density. Metabolic stressors such as chronic caloric restriction (CR) can exacerbate adiposity, and increased glucocorticoid signaling adrenergic are implicated in this phenotype. The current study tested the role of CR-induced stress by conditionally deleting receptor (GR) osteoprogenitors (Osx1-Cre) mice subjected to CR ad libitum diets. Conditional knockout GR (GR-CKO) reduced cortical trabecular mass compared wildtype (WT) under both...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative that has heavy social and economic impact on all societies for which there still no cure. Multitarget-directed ligands (MTDLs) seem to be promising therapeutic strategy finding an effective treatment this disease. For purpose, new MTDLs were designed synthesized in three steps by simple cost-efficient procedures targeting calcium channel blockade, cholinesterase inhibition, antioxidant activity. The biological physicochemical...

ABSTRACTIntroduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive, irreversible, and multifactorial brain disorder that gradually insidiously destroys individual’s memory, thinking, other cognitive abilities.Areas covered In this perspective, the authors examine complex nature of believe best approach to develop new drugs MTDL strategy, which obviously faces several challenges. These challenges include identifying key combination targets their suitability for coordinated actions, as well...

Abstract Herein we report the synthesis of ten newly substituted 3‐phenyl‐5‐aryl‐3,5‐dihydro‐4 H ‐benzo[6,7]chromeno[2,3‐ d ]pyrimidin‐4,6,11‐triones (“benzochromenopyrimidines”) in a one‐step reaction, by reacting ethyl 2‐amino‐4‐aryl‐5,10‐dioxo‐5,10‐dihydro‐4 ‐benzo[ g ]chromene‐3‐carboxylates with aniline, and triethyl orthoformate, under acidic catalyst solvent‐free conditions. These benzochromenopyrimidines were submitted to biological evaluation for vitro anti‐cancer activity, several...
