Objective: The objective of this study was to test the association personality traits neuroticism and extraversion with risk death in old age. Methods: A census taken a geographically defined urban community Chicago, those aged 65 years or older were invited participate an in-home interview; 6158 (79% eligible) did so. interview included brief measures extraversion, medical history, questions about current participation cognitive, social, physical activities. Vital status subsequently...
Spexin mRNA and protein are widely expressed in rat tissues associate with weight loss rodents of diet-induced obesity. Its location endocrine epithelial cells has also been suggested. is a novel peptide that involves Therefore, we aimed to examine its expression human test whether spexin could have role glucose lipid metabolism type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The the gene immunoreactivity adrenal gland, skin, stomach, small intestine, liver, thyroid, pancreatic islets, visceral fat, lung,...
Engineering the filamentous, N<sub>2</sub>-fixing cyanobacteria as a cellular factory to produce and secrete cyclic hydrocarbon fuel using atmospheric gases (CO<sub>2</sub>and N<sub>2</sub>), water, sunlight.
Objective: Recent studies demonstrate circulating serum spexin levels are reduced in obesity or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and may play a role glucose metabolism.The mechanism underlying is not known.In this study, we explore whether has insulin resistance hepatic metabolism.Methods: The correlation between the homeostasis model assessment of (HOMA-IR) was studied newly diagnosed T2DM patients.After intraperitoneal injection exogenous for 8 weeks, effect on infusion rates...
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness among working-age population. Although controlling blood glucose levels effectively reduces incidence and development DR to less than 50%, there are currently no diagnostic biomarkers or effective treatments for in glucose-well-controlled diabetic patients (GW-DR). In this study, we established a prospective GW-DR cohort by strictly adhering glycemic control guidelines maintaining regular retinal examinations over median 2-year...
The sophisticated, elegant protein-polymers designed by nature can serve as inspiration to redesign and biomanufacture protein-based materials using synthetic biology. Historically, petro-based polymeric have dominated industrial activities, consequently transforming our way of living. While this benefits humans, the fabrication disposal these causes environmental sustainability challenges. Fortunately, biopolymers compete with potentially surpass performance polymers because they be...
Obesity‐induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inflammation lead to adipocytes dysfunction. Autophagy helps adapt cellular involves in regulating innate inflammatory response. In present study, we examined the activity of rapamycin, a mTOR kinase inhibitor, against adipocytes. An vitro model was used which 3T3‐L1 were preloaded with palmitate (PA) generate artificial hypertrophy mature Elevated autophagy flux increased number autophagosomes observed response PA rapamycin treatment....
Objective Gut microbial dysbiosis is associated with high heterogeneity of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS); however, studies about gut microbiota targeted clinical intervention in PCOS are limited. Our study aimed to evaluate the effects high-fiber diet or combined acarbose on phenotypes PCOS, focusing possible influence this process. Methods Twenty-five patients were recruited and randomly divided into two groups, W group (n = 14) received WTP (a composed whole grains, traditional Chinese...
Abstract Cyanobacteria, which are photosynthetic prokaryotes, have gained attention in recent years for their potential health benefits. One notable property of cyanobacteria is high antioxidant capacity, has been attributed to various beneficial properties. Antioxidants crucial the human body as they help scavenge free radicals that can cause cellular damage and lead diseases. The fermentation food using other microorganisms a traditional practice centuries found enhance capacity food. This...

An Arabidopsis thaliana mutant was identified as having increases in 12 of 20 free proteogenic amino acids seeds. Because these metabolites are produced from multiple, seemingly unrelated biosynthetic networks, it not possible to use a candidate gene approach discover the enzyme defect responsible for this complex syndrome. Complementary metabolite profiling analyses revealed increased seed homomethionine and isovaleroyloxypropyl-glucosinolate, along with reduced...
A modified LC−MS/MS method for large-scale screening of metabolic phenotypes was developed and validated.
