Recent results from our laboratories indicate that renal escape from AVP-induced antidiuresis is accompanied by marked downregulation of kidney aquaporin-2 (AQP2) and AVP V2 receptors. The present studies evaluated the effect of nitric oxide (NO) and PG synthesis blockade on escape from antidiuresis. dDAVP-infused rats were water loaded (WL) for 5 days. l-NAME, an NO synthesis inhibitor, or dic...

Increased circulating adiponectin and insulin sensitivity are usually observed after body fat loss induced by a weight-loss diet. Progressive resistance training (PRT) without a concomitant weight-loss diet significantly decreases visceral fat, thus improving insulin sensitivity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to ascertain the effects of combined 16-week PRT and weight-loss diet on ci...

Aerobic exercise training and weight loss (AEX+WL) improves insulin sensitivity in overweight adults; however, the underlying pathways are incompletely understood. Fetuin-A, a hepatokine that inhibits insulin signaling, may be involved in the salutary effects of AEX+WL. Therefore, we examined the effects of 6-month AEX+WL on plasma fetuin-A levels (36-48 hours after the last bout of exercise), ...

INTRODUCTION This study evaluated the working length (WL) modification after instrumentation with WaveOne Primary (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) reciprocating files and the incidence of overinstrumentation in relation to the initial WL. METHODS Thirty-two root canals of permanent teeth were used. The angles of curvature of the canals were calculated on digital radiographs. The ...

NCI1. ECC (83.80%) performs distinctly better than convolution methods that are not able to use edge labels (DCNN [1] 62.61%, PSCN [3] 78.59%). Methods not approaching the problem as convolutions on graphs but rather combining deep learning with other techniques are stronger (Deep WL [5] 80.31%, structure2vec [2] 83.72%) but are still outperformed by ECC. While the WeisfeilerLehman graph kernel...

conclusion the cbct may be safe to use in determining root canal wl. because lower radiation dose, a pre-existing cbct can be useful to detect the root canal wl more precisely. results the cbct was the most accurate method to evaluate the root canal wl, with accuracy of 70%. accuracy for the apex locator and periapical radiograph were 40% and 30%, respectively. materials and methods totally, 30...

using a generalized spherical mean operator, we obtain a generalization of titchmarsh&apos;s theorem for the dunkl transform for functions satisfying the (&apos;; p)-dunkl lipschitz condition in the space lp(rd;wl(x)dx), 1 < p 6 2, where wl is a weight function invariant under the action of an associated re ection group.

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) with and without weight loss (WL) on apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) metabolism in men with metabolic syndrome. APPROACH AND RESULTS The diet of 19 men with metabolic syndrome (age, 24-62 years) was first standardized to a North American isoenergetic control diet for 5 weeks, followed by an isoenergetic MedDiet for an additional 5...

Obesity is a public health crisis in North America. While lifestyle interventions for weight loss (WL) remain popular, the rate of success is highly variable. Clearly, self-regulation of eating behavior is a challenge and patterns of activity across the brain may be an important determinant of success. The current study prospectively examined whether integration across the Hot-State Brain Netwo...

The high egg-laying capacity of the modern domestic chicken (i.e. White Leghorn, WL) has arisen from the low egg-laying ancestor Red Junglefowl (RJF) via continuous trait selection and breeding. To investigate whether this long-term selection impacted the seminal fluid (SF)-proteome, 2DE electrophoresis-based proteomic analyses and immunoassays were conducted to map SF-proteins/cytokines in RJF...
