Relationships between adiponectin levels, the metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes: a literature review by Anize Delfino von Frankenberg (4827864)

“…<div><p>ABSTRACT Elevated hepatic glucose production, impaired insulin secretion, and insulin resistance - abnormalities of glucose metabolism typically found in subjects with obesity - are major factors underlying the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (DM2) and the metabolic syndrome (MS). Adiponectin is a major regulator of glucose and lipid homeostasis via its insulin-sensitizing properties, and lower levels seems to be associated with the development of DM2 and MS. …”

Possible mechanisms of pollination failure in hybrid carrot seed and implications for industry in a changing climate by Melissa Ann Broussard (4217578)

“…The dependence on pollinators has been linked to yield instability, which could potentially become worse in a changing climate. Insect-pollinated crops produced via hybrid breeding (20% of fruit and vegetable production globally) are especially at risk as they are even more reliant on pollinators than open-pollinated plants. …”
