Autonomic and olfactory dysfunctions are considered markers for preclinical diagnosis in Parkinson's disease (PD), because pathological changes in these systems can start before motor symptoms develop. We investigated whether cardiac sympathetic function and olfactory function are associated in PD. Participants comprised 40 nondemented patients with idiopathic PD, and age-matched controls. Card...

Among the other dwarf galaxies with violent star formation IC10 galaxy stands out for anomalously high number of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. For instance, the number of WR-stars in IC10 is 20 times higher than that in LMC and spatial density of WR stars in IC10 reaches 11 WR stars per square kpc (Massey et al., 2002 [8], Massey et al., 2007 [7], Crowther et al., 2003 [4] and references in these pape...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of arc beak trimming on feed consumption, weight gain, and feed wastage in males and females from two large-bodied strains and one medium-bodied strain of turkeys. Birds were placed in wire-floored battery cages from 3 to 8 wk of age and feed intake, weight gains, and feed spilled into dropping pans were recorded for each of the 5 wk of each tria...

Dipeptides absorbed by the intestinal epithelium are delivered to circulation, but their metabolic roles are not yet clearly understood. We investigated the biological activities of a dietary dipeptide, H-Trp-Arg-OH (WR), on the regulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α activity. Reporter gene assays revealed that WR dose-dependently induced PPARα transactivation. Surfac...

An interview administered food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) consisting of 75 food items was developed and calibrated against a four day weighed record (WR). The FFQ was also calibrated against a proxy for biomarker, the energy intake/basal metabolic rate ratio (EI/BMR). A total of 58 subjects (35 women, 23 men) aged between 19 and 76 years of Pakistani and Indian origin in Southampton, United ...
