Body weight, metabolism and clock genes
Biological rhythms are present in the lives of almost all organisms ranging from plants to more evolved creatures. These oscillations allow the anticipation of many physiological and behavioral mechanisms thus enabling coordination of rhythms in a timely manner, adaption to environmental changes and more efficient organization of the cellular processes responsible for survival of both the indiv...
متن کاملGlucosylceramide synthase in the fat body controls energy metabolism in Drosophila.
Glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT-1) catalyzes the synthesis of glucosylceramide (GlcCer), the core structure of major glycosphingolipids (GSLs). Obesity is a metabolic disorder caused by an imbalance between energy uptake and expenditure, resulting in excess stored body fat. Recent studies have shown that GSL levels are increased in obese rodents and that pharmacologically reducing GSL levels by...
متن کاملProbabilistic Internal Clock Synchronization
We propose an improved probabilistic method for reading remote clocks in systems subject to unbounded communication delays and use this method to design a family of fault-tolerant probabilistic internal clock synchronization protocols. The members of this family differ in the failure classes they tolerate, from crash to arbitrary. Because of probabilistic reading, our protocols achieve better s...
متن کاملHarmonious internal clock synchronization
Internal clock synchronization has been investigated, or employed, for quite a number of years, under the requirement of good upper bounds for the deviation, or accuracy, between a predefined master node M and slaves S1, S2, etc. It has been tacitly assumed that the accuracy range between slaves S1 and S2 was just the same as for the master/ slave. In extensive experimental studies of unicast-b...
متن کاملRelationship between body fat mass and bone metabolism.
The protective effect of obesity on bone tissue has not been unequivocally demonstrated. On one hand, it is known that obese people have a lower risk of osteoporotic fractures compared with normal-weight individuals. On the other hand, obese patients are characterized by disorders of calcium-phosphate homeostasis and bone metabolism. Moreover, it is not known whether it is fat or lean body mass...
