Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) phosphorylation on Thr(642) and Ser(588) by Akt is essential for insulin's full effect on glucose transport. However, protein phosphorylation is determined by the balance of actions by kinases and phosphatases, and the specific phosphatase(s) controlling AS160 dephosphorylation is (are) unknown. Accordingly, we assessed roles of highly expressed skeletal muscle ...

This project will implement a version of the popular game Guitar Hero. The project will be composed of visual, audio, and interactive parts. The goal of the game is to be able to “play” the notes of a song chosen from a given list by pressing the appropriate buttons on the keyboard to match the ones on the screen. On the keyboard, keys F5-F12 will be used for the “notes” and Enter will substitu...

Everybody loves the stories of heroes like Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, and Gandhi. But the heroic model of moral leadership usually doesn't work in the corporate world. Modesty and restraint are largely responsible for the achievements of the most effective moral leaders in business. The author, a specialist in business ethics, says the quiet leaders he has studied follow four basic...

The specific Na(+)/H(+) exchange inhibitor HOE-642 prevents ischemic and reperfusion injury in the myocardium. Although this inhibitor alters H(+) ion flux during reperfusion in vitro, this action has not been confirmed during complex conditions in situ. Myocardial intracellular pH (pH(i)) and high-energy phosphates were monitored using (31)P magnetic resonance spectroscopy in open-chest pigs s...

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The apical extrusion of infected debris may have the potential to disrupt the balance between microbial aggression and host defense, resulting in incidents of acute inflammation. During preparation, irrigants and debris, such as bacteria, dentin filings and necrotic tissue may be extruded into the periradicular region leading to periapical inflammation and postoperative fl...
