The metabolic mechanisms to circannual changes in body mass of bears have yet to be elucidated. We hypothesized that the Japanese black bear (Ursus thibetanus japonicus) has a metabolic mechanism that efficiently converts carbohydrates into body fat by altering insulin
Age-Dependent Progression in Lung Pathophysiology can be Prevented by Restoring Fatty Acid and Ceramide Imbalance in Cystic Fibrosis
The purpose of this study was to improve a mouse model of chronic intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation utilizing microbead injection in two strains of mice and to assess the effect of age and anesthesia on measured IOP. We compared our
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive disease which causes a continuous decline in lung capacity with age. Our study aimed to investigate the age-dependent deterioration in lung function and the effects of treatment with Fenretinide formulation (LAU-7b) in Cftr knockout
