The physiological functions of GPRC6A are unknown. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we created and characterized the phenotype of GPRC6A(-/-) mice. We observed complex metabolic abnormalities in GPRC6A(-/-) mice involving multiple...
متن کامل17α-Estradiol Alleviates Age-related Metabolic and Inflammatory Dysfunction in Male Mice Without Inducing Feminization
Aging is associated with visceral adiposity, metabolic disorders, and chronic low-grade inflammation. 17α-estradiol (17α-E2), a naturally occurring enantiomer of 17β-estradiol (17β-E2), extends life span in male mice through unresolved mechanisms. We tested whether 17α-E2 could alleviate age-related metabolic dysfunction and inflammation. 17α-E2 reduced body mass, visceral adiposity, and ectopi...
متن کاملFactor Analysis of Metabolic Syndrome among Iranian Male Smokers
Background: Recent studies show cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors have the tendency to intermingle. Integration between some biological and homodynamic risk factors have made the new hypothesis for etiology of CVDs. The aim of this study was to determine the clustering pattern of metabolic variables and left ventricular (LV) mass among smoker and non-smoker individuals and the interrela...
