Identification and characterization of microsatellites from calafate (Berberis microphylla, Berberidaceae)1
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Southern barberry or calafate (Berberis microphylla) is a shrub species endemic to the Patagonian region of South America that is used for human consumption. The fruit is very rich in vitamin C and anthocyanins and has a very high antioxidant capacity. There have been only a few genetic studies of this and other closely related species. • METHODS AND RESULTS...
متن کاملChronic glucokinase activation reduces glycaemia and improves glucose tolerance in high-fat diet fed mice.
Glucokinase (GK) plays a key role in maintaining glucose homeostasis by promoting insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and increasing hepatic glucose uptake. Here we investigate the effects of acute and chronic GK activation on glucose tolerance and insulin secretion in mice with diet-induced insulin resistance. In the acute study, a small molecule GK activator (GKA71) was administered ...
متن کاملPolyphenol-Rich Fraction of Ecklonia cava Improves Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in High Fat Diet-Fed Mice
Ecklonia cava (E. cava; CA) is an edible brown alga with beneficial effects in diabetes via regulation of various metabolic processes such as lipogenesis, lipolysis, inflammation, and the antioxidant defense system in liver and adipose tissue. We investigated the effect of the polyphenol-rich fraction of E. cava produced from Gijang (G-CA) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in high-fat...
متن کاملEvidence for diet-induced thermogenesis in hyperphagic cafeteria-fed rats.
Diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) is the increase in heat production which follows the ingestion of food or alterations in the plane of nutrition, and therefore includes the energy costs of feeding, digestion and absorption, tissue synthesis and adaptive non-conservative mechanisms. Theoretical and empirically-derived values exist for the energy cost of processing nutrients and tissue synthesis,...
متن کاملSerotonin Deficiency Rescues Lactation on Day 1 in Mice Fed a High Fat Diet
Obesity is an inflammatory state associated with delayed lactogenesis stage II and altered mammary gland morphology. Serotonin mediates inflammation and mammary gland involution. The objective of this study was to determine if a genetic deficiency of tryptophan hydroxylase 1, the rate-limiting enzyme in peripheral serotonin synthesis, would result in an improved ability to lactate in dams fed a...
