Maternal cigarette smoke exposure contributes to glucose intolerance and decreased brain insulin action in mice offspring independent of maternal diet.

Fasting glucose and the peak blood glucose value during the IPGTT were markedly higher in the high-fat diet (HFD) group than in the control group and HFD + silibinin group, which

Five-week HFD feeding caused body weight gain, and decreased glucose/insulin tolerance in mice compared to those in the regular diet group (P o 0.05), which was restored by

In the Eurocode 8 (CEN, 2004), the time-history representation of seismic action is classified in three groups: artificial accelerograms (synthetic accelerograms generated so as

In HFD mice, aqueous açai extract (AAE) administration (3 g/kg) for six weeks improved insulin resistance index and in- creased adiponectin mRNA expression in adipose tissue and

Maternal Wnt signaling is required for Xenopus dorsoventral axis formation [31] and depletion of maternal axin1 mRNA in Xenopus results in elevated Wnt/ b -catenin activity

In the HFD-fed group, a significant increase in the relative liver weights, fasting serum glucose and insulin levels of the male F 1 adults from high-dosed PFOS maternal groups

We analyzed several of the imprinted genes involved in obesity, in adipocytes of mice fed a control diet and mice fed a HFD, and found that the paternal transmission of
