Variability in muscle mass significantly impacts energy expenditure, influencing preponderance to obesity and recently it has been reported that there is a positive association between muscle mass and longevity in older adults. Muscle fibre cross-sectional area (CSA) and proportion of different fibr...

Neutrophil lysis after phagocytosis is a process potentially important in the pathogenesis of community-associated methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) infection. The mechanism for this process is not currently known. Therefore, to better understand CA-MRSA virulence we used human oligonucleo...

Arsenic is methylated during its metabolism, thereby depleting the intracellular methyl donor S-adenosyl-methionine, which may lead to disturbances in DNA methylation patterns which could lead to altered gene expression Cells were exposed to sodium arsenite (NaAsO2, Sigma) at concentrations of 0.08 ...

As a result of ancestral whole genome and small-scale duplication events, the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeM-bM-^@M-^Ys, and of many eukaryotes, still contain a substantial fraction of duplicated genes. In all investigated organisms, metabolic pathways, and more particularly glycolysis, are spe...

Aims/hypothesis: While lipid deposition in skeletal muscle is considered to be involved in obesity-associated insulin resistance, neutral intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) accumulation per se does not necessarily induce insulin resistance. We previously demonstrated that overexpression of the lipid drop...

IL-6 and IL-27 have antagonistic and overlapping functions, signal through a shared receptor subunit and employ the same downstream STAT proteins. To evaluate the degree of specificity and redundancy for these cytokines, we quantified global transcriptomic changes induced by the two cytokines and de...
