Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance of colon cancer cells to long-term 5-fluorouracil exposure is correlated to the relative level of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) in addition to Bax and p53 status.

TL;DR: The ability to resist to 5‐fluorouracil‐induced apoptosis of 8 colon cancer cell lines differing in p53 and bax status is reported and high levels of anti‐apoptotic Bcl‐2 and B cl‐xL proteins combined with a low level of Bax were correlated to high 5‐FU resistance of wild‐type p53 cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential fatty acids interconversion in the human fetal liver.

TL;DR: The data suggest that arachidonic acid is supplied to the fetus through a preferential transfer across the placenta via delta 5- and delta 6-desaturase activities in fetal liver microsomes.

Seven Novel Deleterious LEPR Mutations Found in Early-Onset Obesity: a ΔExon6–8 Shared by Subjects From Reunion Island, France, Suggests a Founder Effect

TL;DR: Among seven newly discovered LEPR mutations in this French obese population, a LEPR frameshift mutation shared by six subjects from Reunion Island suggests a founder effect in this Indian Ocean island with high prevalence of obesity and supports a recommendation for systematic screening for this mutation in morbidly obese subjects in this population.
