BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective treatment for obesity and associated metabolic complications. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with increased oxidative stress. Previous studies have examined changes in plas...
Embodied cognition is a hot topic in both cognitive science and AI, despite the fact that there still is relatively little consensus regarding what exactly constitutes 'embodiment'. While most embodied AI and cognitive robotics research views the bod...
BACKGROUND: Limited data are available that evaluated the effects of combined omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E supplementation on glucose homeostasis parameters and lipid concentrations in gestational diabetes (GDM).
Wheat rapidly induces complex metabolic reactions in response to cold stress, yet the physiological mechanisms governing its natural recovery process remain poorly understood. In a 2 year pot experiment, we examined recovery dynamics of the wheat cul...
Homeostatic control of neural networks is based on monitoring the activity level of neurons and adjusting excitability. A recent study demonstrates that the physical environment per se (temperature) can directly regulate the neural circuits underlyin...
Technologies are transforming the understanding of adipose tissue as a complex and dynamic tissue that plays a critical role in energy homoeostasis and metabolic health. This mini-review provides a brief overview of the potential impact of novel tech...
