BACKGROUND
Mast cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance. Here, we explored the effects of leptin deficiency-induced obesity on the density of mast cells in metabolic (abdominal fat depots, skeletal muscle, and liver) and lymphatic (abdominal lymph nodes, spleen,
There may be variability in the susceptibility of different individuals to osteolysis from wear debris, and it is not clear whether some individuals may have a genetic predisposition for a more marked osteolytic response. The purpose of this study in mice was to determine whether genetically
BACKGROUND
Obesity is characterized by increased cell death and inflammatory reactions in the adipose tissue. Here, we explored pathophysiological alterations taking place in the adipose tissue in long-standing obesity. In the epididymal fat of C57BL/6 mice fed a high-fat diet for 20 weeks, the
Obesity can adversely affect human health, including fertility. While obesity can disturb the hormonal profile of the female organism and is associated with fertility loss, little is known about what effect male obesity has on fertility. The present study analysed sperm samples of 153 donors. The
Some previous studies have shown suppressive effect of the vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) on long - term feeding regulation in rats. We assessed body weight, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), myenteric plexus neurons, mast cells in the stomach, duodenum and colon and c-Fos expression in nodose vagal
OBJECTIVE
Impairment of gut barrier function has been demonstrated in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and may contribute to the development of local and systemic septic complications. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Against this background, our aims were to investigate
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the occurrence of microsatellite instability (MSI) in paediatric Barrett's oesophagus (BE) with the aim of identifying a potential marker for patients at risk for developing dysplasia or adenocarcinoma at a later stage.
METHODS
Endoscopic oesophageal biopsies from 6
Chromatin supraorganization and extensibility and nuclear glycoprotein content have been reported to change in hepatocytes from mice during development and aging, as well as under starvation and refeeding conditions. In non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice, the expression of insulin-dependent diabetes may
BACKGROUND
Skin tags (ST) are common tumors. They mainly consist of loose fibrous tissue and occur on the neck and major flexures as small, soft, pedunculated protrusions. Decrease in endocrine, hormone level and other factors are thought to play a role in the evolution of ST. Leptin is an
Liver biopsies from fatty livers in thirty patients whose daily alcohol consumption was excessive, or they were in a diabetic state or overweight, and liver biopsies from seven control patients not presenting the above disorders, were studied by light microscopy 0.75 micronm EPON embedded, toluidine
BACKGROUND
Gangjihwan (DF), a polyherbal drug composed of Ephedra intermedia Schrenk et C. A. Mayer (Ephedraceae), Lithospermum erythrorhizon Siebold et Zuccarini (Borraginaceae), and Rheum palmatum L. (Polygonaceae), is used to treat obesity in local Korean clinics. The constituents of DF have
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the histological features of the liver in spontaneously diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rats compared with age-matched Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.
METHODS
Female SDT Lepr(fa) (SDT fatty) rats and age-matched SD rats were fed ad libitum. Body weight and biochemical parameters, such
BACKGROUND
Skin tags (ST) are common benign tumors of the skin but their etiopathogenesis is not well understood. STs arise in sites subjected to trauma. It was proved that mast cells are recruited to sites of skin trauma and increase their tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) content.
OBJECTIVE
STs are
Withaferin A (WFA), a highly oxygenated withanolide is used for anti-osteoporotic, fracture healing, obesity control as medicine and dietary supplement in Ayurveda and Unani medicine but its potential remains to be investigate for the osteoarthritis studies. In the present study, chondro-protective
The objective of this study was to define the behavioral, electrophysiological, and morphological characteristics of spontaneous autoimmune peripheral polyneuropathy (SAPP) in female B7-2 deficient non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. A cohort of 77 female B7-2 deficient and 31 wild-type control NOD mice
