Background: Lead, one of the most important environmental pollutants, can induce a broad range of physiological dysfunction.The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of the Melissa officinalis plant extract on biomarkers of liver and kidney function as well as serum testosterone concentration in lead-exposed male rats.Methods:
Bone marrow harbors a significant amount of body adipose tissue (BMAT).While BMAT might be a source of energy for bone modeling and remodeling, its increment can also represent impairment of osteoblast differentiation.The relationship between BMAT, bone mass and insulin sensitivity is only partially understood and seems to depend on the circumstanc
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an archetype autoimmune disease characterized by a myriad of immunoregulatory abnormalities that drives injury to multiple tissues and organs.Due to the involvement of various immune seattle seahawks socks cells, inflammatory cytokines, and related signaling pathways, researchers have spent a great deal of effo
The APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster encodes important regulators of fasting lipids, but the majority of lipid metabolism takes place in the postprandial state and knowledge about gene regulation in this state is scarce.With the aim of characterizing possible regulators of lipid metabolism, we studied the effects of nine single nucleotide polymorphisms
