Construction and Analysis of Tissue-Specific Protein-Protein Interaction Networks in Humans

We have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. This network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...

Alteration in the primary metabolites in three different tissues of silkworm, Bombyx mori L. under the influence of a Juvenoid, R394

A bivoltine silkworm hybrid, KA x NB4D2 was treated with the juvenoid R394 (Ethyl-9 cyclohexyl-3,7-dimethyl-2,4-nonadienoate) at a dose of 0.039 nl/larva at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of 5th instar for silk yield improvement. Treatment specific significant increase was observed in the cocoon and shell weight with no such marked variation in the shell percentage. Notable changes were also seen in tr...

Effects of Resistance Training with Aqueous Extract of Garlic (Allium sativum L.) on Relative Expression Levels of CTRP3 and IL-6 in Adipose Tissues and Insulin Resistance in Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rats

Background and Objectives: Since adipokines affect insulin sensitivity and inflammation, regulation of adipokines may play a critical role in etiology of insulin resistance, which is associated to type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of resistance training with use of aqueous extract of garlic (Allium sativum L.) on relative expression levels of CTRP3 and IL-6 and i...

Potential of plant oils as alternative to fish oil for live food enrichment: effects on growth, survival, body compositions and resistance against environmental stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Enrichment of live foods by essential nutrients such as highly unsaturated fatty acids is an important tool for improvement of larval fish quality. In this study, nutritional effects of Artemia urmiana enriched by fish and plant oils on growth, survival rate, body compositions and resistance against thermal, salinity and hypoxic stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. Six ...

Storing up trouble: does intramyocellular triglyceride accumulation protect skeletal muscle from insulin resistance?

1. Insulin resistance occurs when normal amounts of insulin are inadequate to produce a normal insulin response from cells. This is important in the context of whole-body glucose homeostasis because skeletal muscle is the main tissue for insulin-stimulated glucose disposal. 2. In obesity, lipid deposition in peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle is linked to the activation of stress kinase...
