Tragopogon porrifolius improves serum lipid profile and increases short-term satiety in rats by Zeeni, Nadine

“…This study investigates the effect of the aqueous extract of the aerial part of T. porrifolius on lipemia and appetite regulation using a rat model. Food intake, abdominal fat percentage, blood lipid profile, liver weight and liver enzymes were assessed following 4 weeks of extract intake via drinking water (50, 100, or 250 mg/kg body weight) in standard high-carbohydrate and high-fat dietary conditions. …”

Increasing methylation of sperm rDNA and other repetitive elements in the aging male mammalian germline by Ramya Potabattula (4401160)

“…Deep bisulfite sequencing of single rDNA molecules in human sperm revealed that methylation does not only depend on donor's age, but also depend on the region and sequence context (A vs. G alleles). Both average rDNA methylation of all analyzed DNA molecules and the number of fully (>50%) methylated alleles, which are thought to be epigenetically silenced, increase with donor's age. …”

Exendin-4 promotes GSIS without increasing β-cell number through upregulation of glucose-sensing apparatus and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery genes in hPSC-deriv... by Abdoulaye Diane (14152749)

“…However, GSIS data showed no difference in c-peptide secretion between low (2.8mM) and high (20 mM) glucose but high response to direct cellular depolarization-mediated c-peptide by KCl; suggesting a lack of functional β-cells. Interestingly, addition of Exendin-4 (50 nM) during the last 3 days of the differentiation significantly enhanced GSIS associated with increased expression of glucose-sensing apparatus genes (Glut2, G6P2C, GCK) and genes encoding mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery.…”

Experimental investigations on the performance of a thermo-mechanical refrigeration system utilizing ultra-low temperature waste heat sources by Ahmad K., Sleiti

“…Thus, this study fills a significant gap in the literature by (i) experimentally evaluating the performance of a new full-scale thermo-mechanical refrigeration (TMR) system at ultra-low temperatures ranging from 50 °C to 85 °C, (ii) characterizing its operation with different commercial refrigerants, and (iii) identifying optimal operating conditions and working fluids for the investigated TMR system. …”

Diagnosing type 2 diabetes using Hemoglobin A1c: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic cutpoint based on microvascular complications by Alexandra E. Butler (6189536)

“…</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">The prevalence of nephropathy and moderate retinopathy was increased in subjects with HbA1c values ≥ 6.5% confirming the high specificity of this value for diagnosing T2DM; however, at HbA1c < 6.5% retinopathy increased at age > 55 years and, most strikingly, in African-Americans, suggesting there may be excess microvascular complication prevalence (particularly nephropathy) in individuals below the diabetes diagnostic threshold.…”
