The current literature is mixed with regard to the efficacy of increased meal frequency regimens in causing metabolic alterations, particularly in relation to weight management. Increasing eating frequency has been postulated to increase metabolism, reduce hunger and food cravings, improve glucose and insulin control, and reduce body weight and body fat storage. However, there are… Continue reading Given the inconclusive evidence in the literature regarding meal frequency and its metabolic implications

The two systems are not equally activated in response to stress, and recent studies demonstrate that the HPA axis response is stronger to socialevaluative types of stress, while the SNS is stronger in response to stressors causing anxiety and fear. These CPI-613 measures are thus frequently included in stress studies. It can be expected that… Continue reading The combined paradigm was successful in investigating the effects of HPA suppression on salivary alpha-amylase

Increased ROS production is common to different models of cellular insulin resistance, including those induced by TNF-a, insulin and palmitate treatments. Moreover, mitochondria-targeted Wortmannin antioxidant treatment partially preserves insulin sensitivity both in vivo and in vitro. In the present study, we observed that both urinary F2-isoprostane and skeletal muscle protein carbonyls were increased, with the… Continue reading Despite continuous overfeeding and potentially increased availability of reducing equivalents in the mitochondria

Spearman’s correlation coefficent was employed to assess whether the abundances of two taxa were independent or associated. Obesity is closely linked with insulin resistance, and increasing evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species generated in muscle mitochondria may impair insulin signalling in animal and cellular models. These studies have also shown that over – expression of… Continue reading Chronic ROS production by skeletal muscle mitochondria can inhibit insulin action but paradoxically

This is of particular interest because PMNs are the primary leukocyte involved in clearing bacteria corneal infections. Interestingly, it was shown that Staphylococcus aureus cells coated with serratamolide were also protected from PMN phagocytosis. This leads us to speculate that the presence of S. marcescens-derived serratamolide in contact lens cases or on lenses may better… Continue reading The zygote develops into the motile ookinete which escapes serratamolide provided against polymorphonuclear leukocyte phagocytosis
