The mechanism for how fucoxanthin (FX) suppressed adipose accumulation is unclear. We aim to investigate the effects of FX on metabolic rate and expressions of genes related to thermogenesis, mitochondria biogenesis and homeostasis. Using a 2 × 2 factorial design, four groups of mice were respectively fed a high sucrose (50% sucrose) or a high-fat diet (23% butter + 7% soybean oil) supplemented...

We introduce a tractable multi-currency model with stochastic volatility and correlated stochastic interest rates that takes into account the smile in the FX market and the evolution of yield curves. The pricing of vanilla options on FX rates can be efficiently performed through the FFT methodology thanks to the affine property of the model. Our framework is also able to describe many non trivi...

This note uses a nonlinear structural vector autoregression model to empirically investigate the effectiveness of official foreign exchange (FX) interventions in an economy when interest rates are constrained to the zero level, based on Japanese data in the 1990s. The model allows us to estimate the effects of FX interventions operating through different channels. We find that FX interventions ...

We study how capital controls and domestic macroprudential policy tame credit supply booms, respectively targeting foreign bank debt. For identification, we exploit the simultaneous introduction of on exchange (FX) debt inflows an increase reserve requirements deposits in Colombia during a strong boom, as well registry balance sheet data. Our results suggest that first, local monetary rate, rai...

Classical hemophilia results from a defect of the intrinsic tenase complex, the main factor X (FX) activator. Binding of factor VIIa to tissue factor triggers coagulation, but little amplification of thrombin production occurs. Handling of hemophilia by injection of the deficient or missing (thus foreign) factor often causes immunological complications. Several strategies have been designed to ...

We discuss the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on Indonesia’s financial markets and monetary policy dynamics. explore five types in Indonesia: (1) Rupiah (IDR) interbank money market; (2) US Dollar (USD) (3) government conventional bond (SUN) markets; (4) stock (5) USD/IDR spot market. examine Bank (BI)'s three instruments: BI 7-day Reverse Repo Rate (the rate); minimum reserve requirement ratios ...

Cholesterol ester-rich (CER) VLDL accumulate rapidly in the plasma of rabbits fed cholesterol-enriched diets. However, the major loci of enhanced synthesis of subfractions of CER-VLDL, their interaction with macrophages, and their relative contribution to atherogenesis have not yet been elucidated. To determine whether anabolism is hepatic or intestinal, subfractions of CER-VLDL were characteri...
