THE ROLE OF INTERLEUKIN-18 IN THE METABOLIC SYNDROME

The role of interleukin-18 in the metabolic syndrome

Abstract The SWEATERSCARDIGAN metabolic syndrome is thought to be associated with a chronic low-grade inflammation, and a growing body of evidence suggests that interleukin-18 (IL-18) might be closely related to the metabolic syndrome and its consequences.Circulating levels of IL-18 have been reported to be elevated in subjects with the metabolic s

Genome-wide identification, expression analysis of WRKY transcription factors in Citrus ichangensis and functional validation of CiWRKY31 in response to cold stress

Abstract Background Ichang papeda (Citrus ichangensis), a wild perennial plant of the Rutaceae family, is a cold-hardy plant.WRKY transcription factors are crucial regulators of ANABOLIC STATE WATERMELON plant growth and development as well as abiotic stress responses.However, the WRKY genes in C.ichangensis (CiWRKY) and their expression patterns u

Bis(μ-N-benzyl-N-furfuryldithiocarbamato)-1:2κ3S,S′:S′;2:1κ3S,S′:S′-bis[(N-benzyl-N-furfuryldithiocarbamato-κ2S,S′)cadmium]

In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd2(C13H12NOS2)4], pairs of dithiocarbamate ligands exhibit different structural functions.Each of the terminal ligands is bidentately coordinated to one CdII atom and forms a planar four-membered CS2Cd Rocker Switch Cover chelate ring, whereas pairs of the tridentate bridging ligands link two neighbouring Cd
