Evidence from clinical and experimental data suggests that thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) signaling is involved in energy expenditure through its impact on white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). TSHR expression increases during mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation into fat. We hypothesize that TSHR activation [TSHR*, elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroid-stimulat...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed to characterize 81 cases of myeloid and lymphoid malignancies with cytogenetic 1p36 alterations not affecting the PRDM16 locus. In total, three subgroups were identified: balanced translocations (N = 27) and telomeric rearrangements (N = 15), both mainly observed in myeloid disorders; and unbalanced non-telomeric rearrangements (N = 39), mainly o...

Abstract Background Recently, the possibility of tumour classification based on genetic data has been investigated. However, datasets are difficult to handle because their massive size and complexity manipulation. In present study, we examined diagnostic performance machine learning applications using imaging-based classifications oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) gene sets. Methods RNA seque...

We investigated the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with a 500 k and a 50 k single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) gene chip in the Framingham Heart Study. We cross-sectionally evaluated the MetS longitudinal trends. Data analyzed were from the Offspring Cohort (four exams: first (n = 2,441), third (n = 2,185), fifth (n = 2,308), and seventh (n = 2,328)) and the Generation 3 Cohort (one ...

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) dysfunction in aging and obesity has been related to chronic unresolved inflammation, which could be mediated by an impaired production of specialized proresolving lipid mediators (SPMs), such as Lipoxins-LXs, Resolvins-Rvs, Protectins-PDs, Maresins-MaRs. Our aim was characterize the changes BAT SPMs signatures their association with during aging, especially under obe...

Adipocytes thermogenesis is an important mechanism for increasing energy expenditure. Here, screening of thermogenic activators (Sirt1 and Ucp1) investigated in C3H10T1/2 cells revealed ethanol extract lotus leaf (LLE) may exert higher activity compared with that the other 11 ingredients. UPLC-MS/MS analysis showed miquelianin was identified as main flavonoid compounds LLE (12.8%) therefore des...
