Sex and age affect depot expression of Ca2+ channels in rat white fat adipocytes (2024)
Journal Article
Meng, Y., Toledo-Rodriguez, M., Fedorenko, O. A., & Smith, P. A. (2024). Sex and age affect depot expression of Ca2+ channels in rat white fat adipocytes. Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 72(4), Article e230108. https://doi.org/10.1530/JME-23-0108

White adipose tissue (WAT) requires extracellular Ca2+ influx for lipolysis, differentiation, and expansion. This partly occurs via plasma membrane Ca2+ voltage-dependent channels (CaVs). However, WFA exists in different depots whose function varies... Read More about Sex and age affect depot expression of Ca2+ channels in rat white fat adipocytes.

Effect of deletion of the protein kinase PRKD1 on development of the mouse embryonic heart (2024)

Background and Objectives Exclusion of blood donors with hepatitis B virus (HBV) core antibodies (anti-HBc) prevents transfusion-transmitted HBV infection but can lead to significant donor loss. As isolated anti-HBc positivity does not always indica...
