ASSOCIATION OF SERUM LEVELS OF VISFATIN, INTELECTIN-1, RARRES2 AND THEIR GENETIC VARIANTS WITH BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL FEMALES

Association of serum levels of Visfatin, Intelectin-1, RARRES2 and their genetic variants with bone mineral density in postmenopausal females

BackgroundAdipokines are engaged in bone physiology and regulate bone mineral density (BMD) by playing protective or cynical role in bone metabolism.The study is designed to measure and compare BMD, adipokines 4.3 (retinoic acid receptor responder protein-2 RARRES2, visfatin and Intelectin-1) and their genetic variants in postmenopausal osteoporoti

Turn it off and on again: characteristics and control of torpor [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations, 1 not approved]

Torpor is a hypothermic, hypoactive, hypometabolic state entered into by a wide range of animals in response to environmental challenge.This review summarises the current understanding of torpor.We start by describing anti-frizz serum the characteristics of the wide-ranging physiological adaptations associated with torpor.Next follows a discussion
