FOOD INTAKE REGULATING-NEUROPEPTIDES ARE EXPRESSED AND REGULATED THROUGH PREGNANCY AND FOLLOWING FOOD RESTRICTION IN RAT PLACENTA

Food intake regulating-neuropeptides are expressed and regulated through pregnancy and following food restriction in rat placenta

Abstract Background Neuropeptide Y (NPY), agouti related peptide (AgRP), copyright and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) and melanocortins, the products of the proopiomelanocortin (POMC), are hypothalamic peptides involved in feeding regulation and energy homeostasis.Recent evidence has Hot Wheels demonstrated their expression in rat and huma

Changes of deep gray matter magnetic susceptibility over 2years in multiple sclerosis and healthy control brain

In multiple sclerosis, pathological changes of both tissue iron and myelin occur, yet these factors have not been characterized in a longitudinal fashion using the novel iron- and myelin-sensitive quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI technique.We investigated disease-relevant tissue changes associated with myelin loss and iron accumulation

A Terahertz-Microfluidic Chip with a Few Arrays of Asymmetric Meta-Atoms for the Ultra-Trace Sensing of Solutions

Biosensing with terahertz (THz) waves has received large amounts of attention due to its potential to detect the functional expression of biomolecules in a label-free fashion.However, many practical challenges against the diffraction Spoons limit of THz waves and the strong absorption of THz waves into polar solvents still remain in the development
