PLASMA CORTISOL-LINKED GENE NETWORKS IN HEPATIC AND ADIPOSE TISSUES IMPLICATE CORTICOSTEROID-BINDING GLOBULIN IN MODULATING TISSUE GLUCOCORTICOID ACTION AND CARDIOVASCULAR RISK

Plasma cortisol-linked gene networks in hepatic and adipose tissues implicate corticosteroid-binding globulin in modulating tissue glucocorticoid action and cardiovascular risk

Genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) by the Cortisol Network (CORNET) consortium identified genetic variants spanning the SERPINA6/SERPINA1 locus on chromosome 14 associated with morning plasma cortisol, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and SERPINA6 mRNA expression encoding corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) in the liver.These and other fi

Breaking the Limits in Ternary Logic: An Ultra-Efficient Auto-Backup/Restore Nonvolatile Ternary Flip-Flop Using Negative Capacitance CNTFET Technology

Despite the advantages of ternary logic, it has suffered from excessive transistor count and limited noise margin.This work proposes an ultra-efficient nonvolatile ternary flip-flop (FF) based on negative capacitance carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (NC-CNTFETs).By harnessing the negative differential resistance effect in NC-CNTFETs, the pr

Overexpression of melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) in adult paraventricular MC4R neurons regulates energy intake and expenditure

Objective: Melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) has a critical role in energy homeostasis.Although MRAP2 has been shown to regulates a number of GPCRs involved in metabolism, the key neurons responsible for the phenotype of gross obesity in MRAP2 deficient animals are unclear.Furthermore, to date, all the murine BRAIN B-12 1000MCG MR
