Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Consequences of the Polymorphism Q223R in the Human Leptin Receptor: A Molecular Dynamics StudyJonathan P. Carrillo-Vázquez, Brenda Chimal-Vega, Beatriz Zamora-López et al.Leptin Receptor (LEPR) is a component of a signaling pathway related to appetite and energy expenditure. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) of Leptin receptor gene (lepr) have been proposed as possible modulator of adipose tissue and body weight. The main phenomenological consequence reported of these SNPs is the modulation of the LEP-LEPR interaction promoting the weight gain. Particularly, Q223R polymorphism has … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2013 · 7,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelenium Enriched Peanut Protein Alleviates Alcohol-Induced Liver Damage in Mice by Modulating the Composition of the Gut MicrobiotaLin Gao, Jiawei Yuan, Yuhuan Cheng et al.Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is one of leading external causes of mortality. Selenium-enriched Peanut Protein (SePP) is a type of Se compound present in Se-enriched plants. Our previous studies showed that SePP possesses potential therapeutic properties and could alleviate alcohol-induced AML-12 cytotoxicity. It spurred us to determine the underlying mechanisms and roles of SePP on gut microbiota. Here, ICR mice … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2021 · 6,234 accessesView PDF Cite
