Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a small inducible cytokine, is involved in obesity-related chronic disorders.Adipocytes produce MCP-1 that is elevated in obese humans and in rodent models of obesity.This study examined the hepatic metabolomic alterations caused by adipose-specific MCP-1 deficiency in a rodent model of obesity.Wide-type (WT)

In this paper, quantum discords in a special kind of states, i.e., Werner states by local quantum operations and classical communication (LQCC) protocols (WLQCC states), are studied.Nineteen parameters to quantify the Toy Trains quantum discords are reduced to four parameters in terms of properties of Werner states and quantum discord.In the case o

In three studies, we tested whether hierarchical preferences could explain differences in punishment recommendations for sexual harassment.Building on research that suggests punishment is used to regulate social hierarchies, we argue that individuals who are motivated to maintain existing hierarchies will treat male perpetrators of sexual harassmen

By introducing the local surface plasmon effect, metal nanoparticles have shown excellent performance in photovoltaic devices.Dye-sensitized solar DEODORANT MOUNTAIN cells (DSSCs) have high efficiency, low processing costs, and transparency when constructing integrated photovoltaic cells, so they are one of the best devices for generating electrons

Abstract Background Taking advantage of Knitting Supplies developed image technology, it is expected that image presentation would be utilized to promote health in the field of medical care and public health.To accumulate knowledge on biomedical effects induced by image presentation, an essential prerequisite for these purposes, studies on autonomi
