Journal ArticleDOI

Butyrate Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Increases Energy Expenditure in Mice

TL;DR: Dietary supplementation of butyrate can prevent and treat diet-induced insulin resistance in mouse and the mechanism ofbutyrate action is related to promotion of energy expenditure and induction of mitochondria function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genome Sequence of Taurine Cattle: A Window to Ruminant Biology and Evolution

Christine G. Elsik, +328 more
- 24 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to about sevenfold coverage and provides a resource for understanding mammalian evolution and accelerating livestock genetic improvement for milk and meat production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct measurement of attentional dwell time in human vision

TL;DR: It is suggested that visual attention is not a high-speed switching mecha-nism, but a sustained state during which relevant objects become available to influence behaviour, consistent with recent physiological results in the monkey.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Intra-articular Triamcinolone vs Saline on Knee Cartilage Volume and Pain in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: 2 years of intra-articular triamcinolone, compared with intra-artsicular saline, resulted in significantly greater cartilage volume loss and no significant difference in knee pain, and these findings do not support this treatment for patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Competitive brain activity in visual attention

TL;DR: It is proposed that visual objects compete for representation in multiple brain systems, sensory and motor, cortical and subcortical, such that multiple systems converge, working on the different properties and action implications of a selected object.
