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 treatment ameliorates experimental diabetes by increasing liver glycogen deposition through an as yet unidentified mechanism. The signalling mechanism of tungstate was studied in CHOIR cells and primary cultured hepatocytes. This compound exerted its pro-glycogenic effects through a new G-protein-dependent

Heavy metal tungsten alloys have replaced lead and depleted uranium in many munitions applications, due to public perception of these elements as environmentally unsafe. Tungsten materials left in the environment may become bioaccessible as tungstate, which might lead to population
