Interleukin (IL)-6 is released from skeletal muscle (SkM) during exercise and has been shown to affect hepatic metabolism. It is, however, unknown whether SkM IL-6 is involved in the regulation of exercise training-induced counteraction of changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the liver in response to high-fat diet (HFD) feeding. Male SkM-specific IL-6 KO (MKO) and Floxed mice were su...

fulani ecotype chickens (fec) and yoruba ecotype chickens (yec) are the two major types of indigenous chickens in nigeria. they subsist under traditional animal husbandry and are thus liable to indiscriminate mating and consequently to loss of genetic diversity. fulani ecotype chickens (fec) and yoruba ecotype chickens (yec) were investigated to determine genetic variation at transferrin locus ...

Transferring individuals who possess relevant knowledge from one organizational unit to another—a form of resource redeployment—may help overcome impediments transfer. Despite the promise this mechanism, which often occurs through intrafirm geographic mobility, relatively little research has examined how and expertise interacts with resources units move. This study examines whether mobility imp...

By sulfur substitution of the N-5 atom in flavins and flavocoenzymes a flavin analog is obtained, Sthiaflavin, which is found to be isoelectronic and isosteric with natural flavin in the fully reduced and half-reduced states, but not in the oxidized state. Among the three ‘redox shuttles’ characterizing the flavin system, viz. upper le-, lower leand 2eshuttle, only the second one is retained in...
