Body Composition Assessment in Pediatric Obesity: Reliability, Validity, and Clinical Applications
DownloadFall 2020
Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle have unique metabolic roles. Despite body mass index for age and sex (BMI z-score) being historically widely used to evaluate and monitor health status in children with obesity, it does not depict adiposity and muscularity (or their changes) during growth or...

1994
A repetitive element of approximately 200 bp was cloned from harbour seal (Phoca vitulina concolour) genomic DNA. The sequence of the element revealed putative RNA polymerase III control boxes, a poly A tail and direct terminal repeats characteristic of SINEs. Sequence and secondary structural...

Characterization of the Mitochondrial Phenotype Associated with Primary Biliary Cholangitis
DownloadSpring 2017
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of intra-hepatic bile ducts. The autoimmune nature of PBC involves humoral and cell-mediated responses that target endogenous mitochondrial proteins. It is thought that the breakdown of...

Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their...

Comparative genomics of Lactobacillus reuteri from sourdough reveals adaptation of an intestinal symbiont to food fermentations
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Gänzle, Michael G., Lin, Xiaoxi B., Zheng, Jinshui
Lactobacillus reuteri is a dominant member of intestinal microbiota of vertebrates, and occurs in food fermentations. The stable presence of L. reuteri in sourdough provides the opportunity to study the adaptation of vertebrate symbionts to an extra-intestinal habitat. This study evaluated this...
