Can energetic expenditure be minimized by performing activity intermittently?

Can energetic expenditure be minimized by performing activity intermittently?

Previous research has shown that the energetic expense per unit distance traveled for one bout of short-duration activity is much greater than the energetic expense associated with long-duration activity. However, animals are often seen moving intermittently, with these behaviors characterized by brief bouts of activity interspersed with brief pauses. We hypothesized that, when multiple bouts o...

Does Diarrhoea Causes Cataract? Can Cataract be Prevented by Aspirin?

Loss of transparency of the lens is termed cataract which is one of the commonest causes of blindness throughout the world. This major health problem appears to be much commoner in many developing countries such as India and Pakistan, where it causes visual disability at a substantially earlier age and several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this higher prevalence in these areas. Re...

Idefix insulator activity can be modulated by nearby regulatory elements

Insulators play important roles in controlling gene activity and maintaining regulatory independence between neighbouring genes. In this article, we show that the enhancer-blocking activity of the insulator present within the LTR retrotransposon Idefix can be abolished if two copies of the region containing the insulator--specifically, the long terminal repeat (LTR)--are fused to the retrotrans...
