OBJECTIVES To examine appetite traits, level of physical activity, and television (TV) time as predictors of change in Body Mass Index Standard Deviation Score (BMI SDS) from age 6 to 8 and to explore the effect of BMI SDS (from age 4) on appetite traits. METHODS In all, 995 Norwegian children participated at age 4; 760 and 687 of these children took part in the assessment at ages 6 and 8, re...

The current study was designed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of salidroside (SDS) and the underlying mechanism by using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages in vitro and a mouse model of binge drinking induced liver injury in vivo. SDS downregulated protein expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14. SDS inhibited LPStriggered phosphorylation of LPS-ac...

Metal–aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDHs) intercalated with bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (EHS) and dodecyl sulfate (SDS) anions, formulated as EHS-MgAl-LDH 1, SDS-MgAl-LDH 2, EHS-CaAl-LDH 3, SDS-CaAl-LDH 4, were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The compounds characterized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scannin...

Escherichia coli multidrug resistance protein E (EmrE) is a four transmembrane alpha-helix protein, and a member of the small multidrug resistance protein family that confers resistance to a broad range of quaternary cation compounds (QCC) via proton motive force. The multimeric states of EmrE protein during transport or ligand binding are variable and specific to the conditions of study. To ex...
