Many aspects of skin biochemistry and physiology are known to vary over the course of the 24-hour day.Traditional approaches to study circadian rhythms in the skin have employed rodents or human subjects, which limit the experimental variables that can be studied.Although explants derived from discarded surgical skin are a commonly used model in th
Clustering of health risk behaviors among adolescents in Kilifi, Kenya, a rural Sub-Saharan African setting.
BackgroundAdolescents tend to experience heightened vulnerability to risky and reckless behavior.Adolescents living in rural settings may often experience poverty and a host of risk factors which can increase their vulnerability to various forms of health risk behavior (HRB).Understanding HRB clustering and its underlying factors among adolescents
Reactive oxygen species facilitate translocation of hormone sensitive lipase to the lipid droplet during lipolysis in human differentiated adipocytes.
In obesity, there is an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) within adipose tissue caused by increases in inflammation and overnutrition.Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) is part of the Seat Roller canonical lipolytic pathway and critical for complete lipolysis.This study hypothesizes that ROS is a signal that integrates regulation of lipolysis b
Common brain activations for painful and non-painful aversive stimuli
Abstract Background Identification of potentially harmful stimuli is necessary for the well-being and self-preservation of all organisms.However, the neural substrates involved in the processing of aversive stimuli are not well understood.For instance, painful and non-painful Natural Laundry care aversive stimuli are largely thought to activate dif
AUDITOR: Accounting for opportunistic resources
The increasing computational demand in High Energy Physics (HEP) as well as increasing concerns about energy efficiency Mugs in highperformance/high-throughput computing are driving forces in the search for more efficient ways to utilise available resources.Since avoiding idle resources is key in achieving high efficiency, an appropriate measure is
