Protein and glucose metabolism in response to hyperinsulinemia with and without hyperaminoacidemia in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus by Bassil, Maya Said

“…The presence of insulin resistance of protein in T2DM men has important implications for dietary protein recommendations as it suggests their protein requirements may be greater than current DRIs. Further investigation is warranted to address this issue in women and whether other dietary interventions known to improve insulin resistance of glucose metabolism in T2DM would modulate that of protein metabolism.…”

An efficient failure-resilient mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed systems leveraging a novel zero-message overlay structure by Mouna Rabhi (17086969)

“…The proposed algorithm avoids node disconnection while minimally impacting the load of the logical tree nodes. In addition, for the same architecture, when both tree arity and cardinality are 4, after 250 epochs, the node load has demonstrated minimal variation and remains in close proximity to the original load. …”

Genomic Landscape And Structural Impact Of Biotinidase (BTD) Variants In A Middle Eastern Population by BalaSubramani Gattu Linga (19325617)

“…MD simulations indicated that H323R, D444H, and P497S exhibited greater structural flexibility (increased RMSD/RMSF and PCA trace values), whereas R209C and D444H demonstrated reduced compactness (higher radius of gyration). …”

Loss of MMP-8 in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)-associated myoepithelial cells contributes to tumour promotion through altered adhesive and proteolytic function by Muge Sarper (3855454)

“…Conversely, knock-down of MMP-8 in N-1089 reduced adhesion and increased migration. Expression of MMP-8 WT in β6-1089 led to greater localisation of α6β4 to HD and reduced retraction fibre formation, this being reversed by MMP-8 knock-down in N-1089. …”

Response of cauliflower (<i>Brassica oleracea</i> L.) to nitric oxide application under cadmium stress by Jing Ma (24574)

“…The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) and Cd accumulation (roots and shoots) increased significantly (P < 0.05) under the increasing levels of Cd in all genotypes of B. oleracea while antioxidant (enzymatic or non-enzymatic) capacity and nutritional status of the plants was decreased with varying levels of Cd in the sand. From all studied genotypes of B. oleracea, Ceilo Blanco and FD-4 was found to be most sensitive species to the Cd stress under the same levels of the Cd in the medium while FD-2 and FD-3 showed more tolerance to the Cd stress compared to all other genotypes of B. oleracea. …”
