Brown and beige adipose tissue are emerging as distinct endocrine organs. These tissues are functionally associated with skeletal muscle, adipose tissue metabolism and systemic energy expenditure, suggesting an interorgan signaling network. Using metabolomics, we identify 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid,...
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ that dissipates stored energy as heat to maintain body temperature in infants and small mammals. This process may also provide protection from development of diet-induced obesity. We found that the bioactive lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LP...

Cholesterol synthesis is a tightly regulated process, both transcriptionally and post-translationally. Transcriptional control of cholesterol synthesis is relatively well understood. However, of the ~20 enzymes in cholesterol biosynthesis, post-translational regulation has only been examined for a s...
The association between 17β-estradiol (E2) deprivation, seen in menopause and a risk for devel-oping glaucoma, has been shown. Thus, exogenous supplementation of E2 may protect against retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degradation and vision loss. Here, we investigated the utility of topical 10β,17β-dihyd...
Locke2005 - Circadian Clock
SBML model of the interlocked feedback loop network
The model describes the circuit depicted in Fig. 4 and reproduces the simulations in Figure 5A
and 5B. It provides initial conditions, parameter values and rules for the production...
Gene-expression profiles of liver tissue of cabon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated mouse and the effect of erlotinib Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common solid tumor worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Given the lack of successful treatment options, chemopre...
