REGULATION OF GLUCOSE INSULINOTROPIC PEPTIDE AND INTESTINAL GLUCOSE TRANSPORTERS IN THE DIET-INDUCED OBESE MOUSE

Regulation of Glucose Insulinotropic Peptide and Intestinal Glucose Transporters in the Diet-Induced Obese Mouse

Our recent studies have shown that glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), but not glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), augments Na-glucose transporter 1- (SGLT1-) mediated glucose absorption in mouse jejunum.Na-dependent glucose absorption sharply rose and peaked in read more 3 months of high-fat (i.e., obese) compared to normal (i.e., nor

New light in flavin autofluorescence

Our attention was captured by the interesting debate on the identification of lipofuscins, lipofuscin-like lipopigments, or flavins as the responsible for intracellular autofluorescence (AF) detected in epithelial cancer stem cells when exciting at 480-490 nm.Evidence was provided leading to ascribe AF emission to kicker pro comp 10 flavins accumul

Recent seismic status of Shillong Plateau, Northeast India

Seismic status of Shillong Plateau of Northeast India has been studied, considering spatial and temporal pattern of the region and using seismicity data for the period borstlist självhäftande 1808-2008.Cutoff magnitude and b-value has been estimated using earthquake data for the period 1963-2008.Seismic activity is observed to be very feeble alon

Prostrate or upright growth habit in tomato cultivars: contributory roles of stem diameters and fruit weight under fertilizer application

For increased production of fresh market tomato fruits, identification of cultivars that combine upright growth habit (UGH) and increased fruit weight under increased fertilizer rates is essential.Six tomato cultivars comprising five improved types namely Tropimech, Buffalo, Roma VF, Roma Savana, UC 82 and a local cultivar Kerewa were evaluated to
