Broad Remodeling of the Acetylproteome by SIRT3 Manipulation Fails to Affect Insulin Secretion or β-cell Metabolism in the Absence of Dietary Overnutrition
(2018)SIRT3 is an NAD+-dependent mitochondrial protein deacetylase purported to influence cellular and systemic metabolism through modulation of the mitochondrial acetylproteome. Fuel-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic ... -
Controlled Release Systems for Treating Type 2 Diabetes and Their Application Toward Multi-Agonist Combination Therapies
(2019)Over 30 million people in the United States suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D), and this figure is rapidly increasing. Currently available glucose-lowering drugs largely treat the symptoms of diabetes and not the underlying ... -
Creation of Versatile Cloning Platforms for Transgene Expression and Epigenome Editing and Their Application to Pancreatic Islet Biology
(2018)Insulin secreting β-cells within the pancreatic islets of Langerhans are vital to maintaining glycemic control. β-cell functional mass is lost during the progression to both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus, resulting ... -
Dopamine, Drugs, and Estradiol: The Roles of ERα and ERβ in the Mesencephalic Dopamine System and Dopamine-Mediated Behaviors of Mice
(2012)Sex differences in drug addiction are mediated in part by effects of the ovarian hormone estradiol (E2) within the ascending dopamine (DA) system from the midbrain to the striatum. Estradiol enhances the effects ... -
Inhibition of TGFβ Signaling Does Not Improve the Limited Proliferative Response to Nkx6.1 Or Pdx-1 Overexpression in Aged Rat Islets
(2015)A deficiency in functional pancreatic beta-cells is a defining feature in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The development of therapeutic strategies for replacement and regeneration of beta-cell mass is a key objective of current ... -
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) Flame Retardants: Accumulation, Metabolism, and Disrupted Thyroid Regulation in Early and Adult Life Stages of Fish
(2013)Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a class of brominated flame retardant chemicals that are added to plastics, electronic components, furniture foam, and textiles to reduce their combustibility. Of the three commercial ... -
Steroid Hormone Variation and Stress Responses in Short-finned Pilot Whales
(2023)As humans continue to introduce stressors into the marine environment, we are obligated to understand how our behaviors impact wildlife. For many cetacean populations, anthropogenic noise poses a significant conservation ... -
The National Physicians Cooperative: transforming fertility management in the cancer setting and beyond.
(Future oncology (London, England), 2018-12)Once unimaginable, fertility management is now a nationally established part of cancer care in institutions, from academic centers to community hospitals to private practices. Over the last two decades, advances in medicine ... -
