Diet and Reproductive Function in Wild Female Chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes Schweinfurthii)at Kibale National Park, Uganda
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008)Human female reproductive function is highly sensitive to current energetic condition, indicating adaptation to modulate reproductive effort in accordance with changing ecological conditions that might favor or disfavor ... -
Discovery of Novel Lipid Pathways associated with the Metabolic Syndrome
(2013-02-19)The prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes has increased at alarming rates in recent decades. These diseases are prominent components of the metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by marked dyslipidemia. Adipose ... -
Interpreting Metabolomic Profiles using Unbiased Pathway Models
(Public Library of Science, 2010)Human disease is heterogeneous, with similar disease phenotypes resulting from distinct combinations of genetic and environmental factors. Small-molecule profiling can address disease heterogeneity by evaluating the ... -
Urinary C-Peptide Tracks Seasonal and Individual Variation in Energy Balance in Wild Chimpanzees
(Elsevier, 2009)C-peptide of insulin presents a promising new tool for behavioral ecologists that allows for regular, noninvasive assessment of energetic condition in wild animals. C-peptide is produced on an equimolar basis with insulin, ... -
What do we know about the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) ion channel?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are emerging as a new set of membrane proteins involved in a vast array of cellular processes and regulated by a large number of physical and chemical stimuli, which involves ...
