RAPAMYCIN ADMINISTRATION CAUSES A DECREASE IN MUSCLE CONTRACTILE FUNCTION AND SYSTEMIC GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE CONCOMITANT WITH REDUCED SKELETAL MUSCLE RICTOR, THE MTORC2 COMPONENT, EXPRESSION INDEPENDENT OF ENERGY INTAKE IN YOUNG RATS.

Emerging evidence suggests the potential of rapamycin, an antibiotic from Streptomyces hygroscopicus that functions as a mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, as a mimetic of caloric restriction (CR) for maintaining skeletal muscle health.Several studies showed that rapamycin administration (RAP) reduced appetite and energy intake.Howev

In the context of the socio-economic modernization and the political consolidation that Argentina experienced at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, a wide range of discourses and practices of social control developed in reaction to the threat that the massive arrival of immigrants and the greater presence

Background: Health seeking behaviour of mothers plays an important part in the well-being of low birth weight (LBW) babies.Infant mortality is very high in Assam and care seeking behaviours of mothers influence the health outcomes of infants.Objective: This study was attempted with the objective of assessing the prevailing care seeking behaviours a

This paper discusses the power quality issues for distributed generation systems based on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy.A thorough discussion about the power quality issues is conducted here.This paper starts with the power quality issues, followed by discussions of basic standards.A comprehensive study of power quality in

Mineral surfaces adsorb water to extreme densities and corresponding low chemical potentials.This results in a dual effect in terms of hydrate.Water and slightly polar components adsorb directly on mineral surfaces and generate efficient conditions for hydrate nucleation.But due to the extremely low chemical potential of adsorbed water the hydrate
