Endogenous melanocortin antagonist in fish: Structure, brain mapping and regulation by fasting of the goldfish agouti-related protein gene
Download2003
Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a naturally occurring antagonist of melanocortin. In mammals, central AGRP expression is restricted to the arcuate nucleus in which it plays a key role in the control of energy balance by antagonizing melanocortin effects at melanocortin 4 receptors. In goldfish,...

Heart transplantation (HTx) is a life-saving intervention for patients with end-stage heart failure. Nonetheless, the development of Chronic Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) limits the longevity of transplanted cardiac allografts and the survival of recipients. The pathogenesis of CAV begins with a...

Factors contributing to the competitiveness of Lactobacillus reuteri in sourdough and rodent gut
DownloadFall 2011
Lactobacillus reuteri is a common organism in cereal-based foods and a gut symbiont in humans and animals, yet the molecular mechanisms allowing its persistence in various niches are not well understood. L. reuteri LTH2584 produces reutericyclin and persists in industrial sourdoughs, where acidic...

Wang, Lusheng, Moore, Steve S., Cai, Zhipeng, Goebel, Randy, Lin, Guohui, Wang, Yining, Stothard, Paul
Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays normally give rise to certain percents of no-calls; the problem becomes severe when the target organisms, such as cattle, do not have a high resolution genomic sequence. Missing SNP genotypes, when related to target traits, would...

Gene structure of the goldfish agouti-signaling protein: A putative role in the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern of fish
Download2005
Schioth, H.B., Haitina, T., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
One of the most successful chromatic adaptations in vertebrates is the dorsal-ventral pigment pattern in which the dorsal skin is darkly colored, whereas the ventrum is light. In fish, the latter pattern is achieved because a melanization inhibition factor inhibits melanoblast differentiation and...

Host-adapted lactobacilli in food fermentations: impact of metabolic traits of host adapted lactobacilli on food quality and human health
Download2020-10-27
Back-slopping of fermentation cultures in food fermentations can ensure stability of fermentation microbiota at the species or even at the strain level over extended periods of time. In contrast to the fermentation organisms in spontaneous food fermentations, which are derived from...

Identification of a novel lipase gene mutated in lpd mice with hypertriglyceridemia and associated with dyslipidemia in humans
Download2003-05-13
Wen, Xiao-Yan, Hegele, Robert A., Wang, Jian, Wang, Ding Yan, Cheung, Joseph, Wilson, Michael, Yahyapour, Maryam, Bai, Yahong, Zhuang, Lihua, Skaug, Jennifer, Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Koop, Ben F., Tsui, Lap-Chee, Stewart, A. Keith
"Triglyceride (TG) metabolism is crucial for whole body and local energy homeostasis and accumulating evidence suggests an independent association between plasma TG concentration and increased atherosclerosis risk. We previously generated a mouse insertional mutation lpd (lipid defect) whose...

Influence of lipids (arachidonic acid and cholesterol) on calcium signalling in rodent pancreatic beta cells
DownloadFall 2010
Ca2+ is an important mediator of stimulus-secretion coupling in beta cells of the pancreatic islets, which secrete insulin in response to elevation in plasma glucose concentration. I studied the actions of two lipids, arachidonic acid (AA) and cholesterol, on enzymatically-dissociated single...

Investigating the Influence of Therapeutic Hypothermia on Stroke-Induced Intracranial Pressure in a Rat Model of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
DownloadSpring 2016
Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a potentially life threatening complication after intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke (ICH). Animal and clinical studies suggest that mild (~33ºC) therapeutic hypothermia (TH) reduces ICP after ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since TH has...
