This study aims at exploring the effects of sodium tungstate treatment on hypothalamic plasticity, which is known to have an important role in the control of energy metabolism. Adult lean and high-fat diet-induced obese mice were orally treated with sodium

We examined whether the reduced mycorrhization of abscisic acid (ABA)-deficient tomato mutants correlates with their incapacity in ABA biosynthesis and whether this effect is dependent on ethylene production. The mycorrhization of notabilis and sitiens mutants, which have different ABA deficiencies
To evaluate the feasibility of using a commercially available clinical dual-energy computed tomographic (CT) scanner to differentiate the in vivo enhancement due to two simultaneously administered contrast media with complementary x-ray attenuation ratios. Approval from the institutional animal care and
Tungstate counteracts diabetes and obesity in animal models, but its molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Our Saccharomyces cerevisiae-based approach has found that tungstate alleviated the growth defect induced by nutrient stress and enhanced the activation of the GCN pathway. Tungstate relieved
Both radiotherapy and most effective chemotherapeutic agents induce different types of DNA damage. Here we show that tungstate modulates cell response to DNA damaging agents. Cells treated with tungstate were more sensitive to etoposide, phleomycin and ionizing radiation (IR), all
