Spectral photon-counting CT offers novel potentialities to achieve quantitative decomposition of material components, in comparison with traditional energy-integrating CT or dual-energy CT. Nonetheles…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate whether the number of pregnancies during childbearing age was associated with diabetes in postmenopausal women with no history of gestational diabetes.METHODS: Our d…
OBJECTIVES: The body adiposity index (BAI) is a proposed alternative to the body mass index (BMI) that has shown good cross-sectional agreement with percent body fat (%BF) in validation studies. The o…
Rechargeable Li-ion batteries (LIB) are increasingly produced and used worldwide. LIB electrodes are made of micrometric and low solubility particles, consisting of toxicologically relevant elements. …
Although food reward plays a large role in learning and behavioral experiments, there have been few studies examining the most motivating food reward for pigeons. Brown (1969) found that pigeons had a…
OBJECTIVE: Recent evidence suggests that higher peripheral levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) are associated with poorer cognitive function and predict future cognitive decline among the elderly. The curr…
BACKGROUND: Thyroid hormone variation may be correlated with adverse health outcomes, even within the normal reference range in euthyroid individuals.AIMS: To determine the association between plasma …
Four rumen-cannulated calves were used in a block design to study changes in rumen fermentation end-products and rumen digesta kinetics after weaning. Calves were weaned at 5 wk of age and had access …
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the association between abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia differs according to the presence of a parental history of diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We conducted …
We studied the leaching of copper and zinc from particles of discarded boat paint added to tap water (pH 7.3) and rain water (pH=4.7), simulating conditions encountered during the hosing or runoff of …
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) after neurosurgery are potentially life-threatening and entail great costs. SSIs may occur from airborne bacteria in the operating room, and ultraclean air …
Low birthweight is a risk factor for later adverse health. Here the impact of placentally mediated prenatal growth restriction followed by postnatal nutrient abundance on growth, glucose metabolism an…
In a standing wave tank responses of fish to sound stimuli used to investigate the hearing capacity of fish may perhaps be affected by unintended stimulation of the lateral line. Uniform oscillatory w…
Borate/boric acid solutions have distinctive effects on the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra of dityrosine. In the presence of excess borate/boric acid, the fluorescence emission maximum o…
It has been proposed that both hypercortisolism and low sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity contribute to obesity. Because glucocorticoids inhibit SNS activity, we hypothesized that hypercortiso…
OBJECTIVES: Grip strength has been reported to be associated with bone mass locally at the forearm and also at distant skeletal sites, including the spine and hip. Less is known about the association …
The aim was to evaluate the associations between circulating P4 concentrations, corpus luteum (CL) size (diameter, area or volume) and blood perfusion (BP) in cows. In Experiment 1, Pearson's correlat…
The aims of the study were to evaluate the contribution of visceral adipose tissue (AT) accumulation and insulin sensitivity to the determination of circulating free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations me…
We report a way of using citrates, ionic capping molecules on gold nanoparticles, as a "tuner" to adjust the charge density on the particles by solution pH, in correlation with their association const…
OBJECTIVE: To determine sympathetic and vascular responses to modest increases in plasma insulin level.BACKGROUND: Most studies of sympathetic and vascular actions of insulin have evaluated high plasm…
