Activation of mTORC1 is essential for beta-adrenergic stimulation of adipose browning" (2016).

Background. White adipose tissue browning may be a promising strategy to combat obesity. UCP1 is strongly induced in White adipose tissue with β3-adrenergic agonist treatment, but the causes of this increase have not been fully elucidated. This study aims to explore more miRNAs involved in the process of browning of visceral adipose tissue. Methods. Total of fourteen mice were randomly divided ...

Non-enzymatic browning was tested as a means of suppressing degradation of soybean meal (SBM) by ruminal microbes in five trials with in vitro ammonia release as the response criterion. Treatments imposed on SBM included reducing sugar source (xylose, glucose, fructose and lactose), reducing sugar level (1, 3 and 5 mol/mol SBM-lysine), pH (6.5, 8.5 and 10.0), dry matter (DM) content (65, 70, 75...

On the surface, Robert Browning‟s poem, “Porphyria‟s Lover” is a straightforward piece. 1 The plot begins with the speaker, a man, being visited at night by his lover, Porphyria, and ends ultimately with him strangling her. It is a simple story, albeit a distressing one. As literary critic Catherine Ross notes in her article, “Browning‟s Porphyria’s Lover,” the “standard reading” of the poem is...

Vegetation is an indispensable component of terrestrial ecosystems and plays irreplaceable role in mitigation climate change. Global vegetation changes (i.e., greening browning) still occur frequently, however, little known about the spatial relationships between these two processes. Based on normalized difference index (NDVI) dataset from 1998 to 2018 Fujian Province, China. The Theil-Sen Mann...

The current study evaluates consistency among three Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) datasets, namely GIMMS, MODIS and SPOT, to characterize alpine vegetation dynamics (greening browning) across High Mountain Asia (HMA) in 2001–2015. utility of these datasets is explored evaluate the vegetation's variability at different spatial-temporal scales and, elevation, compare their spatial...

Lipid damages were studied during a prolonged storage of canned fish. Albacore tuna was processed at two sterilization conditions (115°C, 74 min; 120°C, 40 min) and then stored up to six years. Analyses (lipid oxidation and hydrolysis, browning, fluorescent compounds formation) were achieved on the lipids extracted from the white muscle of the fish and on the packing oils. Muscle lipids were pa...

Tyrosinase is a multifunctional, glycosylated, and copper-containing oxidase, which catalyzes the first two steps in mammalian melanogenesis and is responsible for enzymatic browning reactions in damaged fruits during post-harvest handling and processing. Neither hyperpigmentation in human skin nor enzymatic browning in fruits are desirable. These phenomena have encouraged researchers to seek n...

Griffiths ( 13) has presented evidence in(licating that the browning reactions of banana fruit result from the enzymic oxi(lation of (lopamiiine (3.4 (lih-droxyphenylethylaminei) hy pIolyphenoloxi(lase. Althoughi (lopamine does occur in various fruits andl vegetables (23), it has not previously b)een imiplicated as an important substrate in browning reactions. The present investigation was unde...
