Journal ArticleDOI

The Problem of Establishing Relationships between Hepatic Steatosis and Hepatic Insulin Resistance

TL;DR: A perspective is provided by defining the problem and its challenges, analyzing the possible causative relationships, and drawing some conclusions about the relationship between liver disease and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progranulin protects against amyloid β deposition and toxicity in Alzheimer's disease mouse models

TL;DR: It is shown that PGRN inhibits amyloid β (Aβ) deposition and protected against Aβ toxicity and is proposed as a potential treatment for P GRN-deficient FTLD and AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Luteinizing hormone increases inositol trisphosphate and cytosolic free Ca2+ in isolated bovine luteal cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LH can rapidly raise levels of IP3 and [Ca2+]i, as well as, cAMP in bovine luteal cells, and suggest that at least two second messenger systems exist to mediate the action of LH in the corpus luteum.
Journal ArticleDOI

MGAT2, a Monoacylglycerol Acyltransferase Expressed in the Small Intestine

TL;DR: The identification of homologous genes in humans and mice encoding MGAT2 will facilitate studies to determine the functional role of MGAT1 in fat absorption in the intestine and to determine whether blocking MGAT activity in enterocytes is a feasible approach to inhibit fat absorption and treat obesity.
