• Novel study reports marijuana users have better blood sugar control

  Regular marijuana use is associated with favorable indices related to diabetic control, say investigators. They found that current marijuana users had significantly lower fasting insulin and were less likely to be insulin resistant, even after excluding patients with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus more

• High glucose levels could impair ferroelectricity in body's connective tissues

  High sugar levels in the body come at a cost to health. New research suggests that more sugar in the body could damage the elastic proteins that help us breathe and pump blood. The findings could have health implications for diabetics, who have high blood-glucose levels. Researchers at the Universit more

• Study shows community approach effective in fight against diabetes

  New research from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center shows that a diabetes prevention program led by community health workers is effective at reducing blood glucose and potentially reducing diabetes over the long term. This is the largest program to successfully replicate the results achieved by the more

• Efficient Reverse Transfection of Both siRNA and Expression Plasmids on Transfected Cell Microarrays Using X-tremeGENE siRNA Transfection Reagent
  

  Transfected cell microarray is a versatile, efficient, and cost-reducing technology [1,3,4] that can contribute to further understanding of gene functions and regulatory mechanisms governing gene expression. We have optimized the protocol of transfected cell microarrays using X-tremeGENE siRNA Transfection Reagent to transfect both expression plasmids and siRNAs, and have shown that this technology can be used to reliably detect even quantitatively minor biological effects of gene perturbations by including several technical and experimental replicates and using linear regression (ANOVA) modeling to estimate the biological effects [2] more

• Miniaturised Platelet Aggregation Assays using the NOVOstar Microplate Reader
  

  Platelet aggregation is a “gold standard” assay of platelet function in the research and clinical laboratory settings which is conventionally measured with aggregometers requiring large volumes of platelet suspensions and only in low throughput format. With the NOVOstar microplate reader from BMG LABTECH we present an alternative optical method to measure platelet aggregation using small volumes in 96-well format more

• Methylation of the Arginine 2 in Histone H3 Controls Deposition of Lysine 4 Tri-Methylation
  

  In a recent study, Kirmizis et al. demonstrated that H3R2 is methylated not only in mammals but also in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By using a specific H3R2me2a antibody in a ChIP-on-Chip analysis the authors determined the distribution of the methylation throughout the yeast genome, finding an enrichment of H3R2me2a at all heterochromatic genes, at inactive euchromatic genes, and at the 3´-end of moderately transcribed genes. The presence of H3R2 methylation inversely correlates with the presence of H3K4 tri-methylation (H3K4me3) in all cases, reflecting the fact that H3R2 methylation disrupts the ability of the Set1-complex to methyl­ate H3K4 by preventing the Set1-methyltransferase subunit Spp1 from binding to to histone H3. These results show that H3R2 methylation controls the distribution of H3K4me3 and provide the first mechanistic insight into the function of arginine methylation on chromatin. more

• Yeast Proteome Variations Reveal Different Adaptive Responses to Grape Must Fermentation

  Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. uvarum are two domesticated species of the Saccharomyces sensu stricto clade that diverged around 100 Ma after whole-genome duplication. Both have retained many duplicated genes associated with glucose fermentation and are characterized by the ability to achieve grap more

• White‐Coat Hypertension

  Summary Aim A number of studies have examined if WCHT is associated with increased cardiovascular risk but with definitions of WCHT that were not sufficiently robust, and results have been inconsistent. This review aims to standardise the evidence by only including studies which used a definit more

• A novel glucoamylase activated by manganese and calcium produced in submerged fermentation by Aspergillus phoenicis

  Abstract This study investigates the production of glucoamylase from Aspergillus phoenicis in Machado Benassi (MB) medium using 1% maltose as carbon source. The maximum amylase activity was observed after four days of cultivation, on static conditions at 30 °C. Glucoamylase production was induc more
