B-1a Lymphocytes Attenuate Insulin Resistance

Obesity-associated insulin resistance, a common precursor of type 2 diabetes, is characterized by chronic inflammation of tissues, including visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Here we show that B-1a cells, a subpopulation of B lymphocytes, are novel and important regulators of this process. B-1a cells are reduced in frequency in obese high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice, and EGFP interleukin-10 (IL-10) re...

It has been found part icularly valuable for cutting around trees, boulders, t raps, creek-bottoms, and other golf course obstructions which formerly required hand cutt ing.

Greens-type Annual Bluegrass Resistance to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses during Winter

Unseeded annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is an important component of golf greens in many regions of northern countries. Although this turfgrass species has desirable playing attributes, it suffers from susceptibility to environmental and biological stresses including subfreezing temperatures, anoxia, and snow molds. During the last decade (1999-2008), we undertook a series of experiments to be...
