Effects of insulin like growth factors on early embryonic chick limb myogenesis (2017)
Journal Article

Limb muscles derive from pax3 expressing precursor cells that migrate from the hypaxial somite into the developing limb bud. Once there they begin to differentiate and express muscle determination genes such as MyoD. This process is regulated by a co...

Gene expression of inflammatory markers in adipose tissue between obese women with polycystic ovary and normal obese women (2017)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: The pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disease and metabolic disturbance, is still unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate whether patients with PCOS display increased expression of inflammatory m...

Hypothalamic over-expression of VGF in the Siberian hamster increases energy expenditure and reduces body weight gain (2017)
Journal Article

VGF (non-acronymic) was first highlighted to have a role in energy homeostasis through experiments involving dietary manipulation in mice. Fasting increased VGF mRNA in the Arc and levels were subsequently reduced upon refeeding. This anabolic role f...
