The effect of meal feeding and of sham-feeding on insulin secretion in dogs.

abstract：:As in women receiving oestrogens the administration of 17beta-oestradiol to ovariectomized female rats caused a rise in fasting plasma triglycerides and a fall in plasma glucose. Progesterone, on the other hand, had no significant effects. In the oestradiol treated rats, the portal vein basal insulin levels were sligh...

abstract：:The pathogenesis of alcoholic fatty liver is unknown, but several causes have been proposed based on biochemical findings. These include the metabolism of alcohol leading to a shift in the cytosolic [NAD+]/ [NADH] ratio to reduction, which in turn causes a direct inhibition of beta-oxidation and enhanced triacylglycer...

We have previously shown that, in vitro, osteoclasts do not respond directly to tri-iodothyronine to increase bone resorption but that the effect is mediated by another bone cell, probably the osteoblast. To investigate this iss...
