Sugar-sweetened beverages and risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiologic evidence

TL;DR: It is thought that SSBs contribute to weight gain in part by incomplete compensation for energy at subsequent meals following intake of liquid calories, and should be replaced by healthy alternatives such as water, to reduce risk of obesity and chronic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uric acid transport and disease.

TL;DR: The biology of urate metabolism and its role in disease is discussed and recent studies identifying SLC2A9, which encodes the glucose transporter family isoform Glut9, as a major determinant of plasma uric acid levels and of gout development are identified.

A Broader View: Microbial Enzymes and Their Relevance in Industries, Medicine, and Beyond

TL;DR: In this review, an approach has been made to highlight the importance of different enzymes with special emphasis on amylase and lipase in the different industrial and medical fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Where is mTOR and what is it doing there

TL;DR: The finding that mTORC1 is localized to the lysosome has significantly enhanced the understanding of m TORC1 regulation and may be a general principle used by TOR to enact precise spatial and temporal control of cell growth.

Hypouricemia due to isolated renal tubular defect: Dalmatian dog mutation in man

TL;DR: It is suggested that this man found to have low serum urate concentrations during evaluation for recurrent urinary calcium oxalate stones had a genetically determined renal abnormality affecting tubular re absorption of uric acid; a similar defect is present in the Dalmatian coachhound.
