The cellular response to fasting and starvation in tissues such as heart, skeletal muscle, and liver requires peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha)-dependent up-regulation of energy metabolism toward fatty acid oxidation (FAO). PPARalpha null (PPARalphaKO) mice develop hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in the fasting state, and we previously showed that PPARalpha expression i...

16 Solar radiation is an important climatic variable for assessing reference evapotranspiration 17 (E0), but it is seldom available in weather station records. Meteosat satellite images processed 18 with the Heliosat-2 method provide the HelioClim-1 database, which displays spatialized 19 solar radiation data at a daily time step for Europe and Africa. The aim of the present work 20 was to inve...

Glucagon receptor (Gcgr) signaling maintains hepatic glucose production during the fasting state; however, the importance of the Gcgr for lipid metabolism is unclear. We show here that fasted Gcgr-/- mice exhibit a significant increase in hepatic triglyceride secretion and fasting increases fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in wild-type (WT) but not in Gcgr-/- mice. Moreover fasting upregulated the ex...

Severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m(2)) is associated with multiple defects in skeletal muscle which contribute to insulin resistance and a reduction in fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in this tissue. These metabolic derangements are retained in human skeletal muscle cells raised in culture. Together, these findings are indicative of a dysfunctional global metabolic program with severe obesity which is of...

abstract potential evapotranspiration is one of basic parameter in hydrologic cycle that should be estimate in irrigation design and scheduling, watershed hydrology studies. many applications in diverse disciplines require estimates of evapotranspiration (et) at hourly or smaller time steps. the primary objectives of this study were to compare the american society of civil engineers (asce) and ...
