Working model of insulin resistance induced by oxidative stress as a result of THS exposure. by Neema Adhami (516427)

“…<p>THS toxins are a source of reactive oxygen species. These oxidants can decrease the expression and activity of insulin-signaling molecules such as IR and its downstream signaling molecules PI3k and, AKT ultimately leading to the inability of GLUT 4-containing vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane. …”

SSD - a free software for designing multimeric mono-, bi- and trivalent shRNAs by Gabriel José de Carli (8526942)

Accounting for monogastric livestock as a driver in global land use and cover change assessments by David A. Eitelberg (3603071)

“…The results indicate that land systems with monogastrics are statistically different from their counterparts in the classification without monogastrics in terms of grassland area and crop yields, but are less different in terms of tree area, crop area, and ruminant livestock production. We then used a land systems map that includes monogastrics in the classification and a similar map that does not include monogastrics to project future changes in a novel manner that integrates livestock as a determinant of land systems. …”
