The mechanisms underlying the insulin resistance that frequently accompanies CKD are
poorly understood, but the retention of renally excreted compounds may play a role. One such …

Obesity and its metabolic complications are characterized by subclinical systemic and tissue
inflammation. In rodent models of obesity, inflammation and metabolic impairments are …

Bird vocal duets are joint displays where two individuals, generally a mated pair, produce
temporally coordinated vocalizations. Duets may contribute to pair bond maintenance, mate …

Animal vocalizations convey multiple pieces of information about the sender. Some of them
are stable, such as identity or sex, but others are labile like the emotional or motivational state…

Type 2 diabetes is a complex disease characterized by a state of insulin resistance in
peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle, adipose tissue or liver. Some inositol isomers have …

Background Cellular response to changes in the concentration of different chemical species
in the extracellular medium is induced by ligand binding to dedicated transmembrane …

Objective Obesity is characterized by systemic and low-grade tissue inflammation. In the
intestine, alteration of the intestinal barrier and accumulation of inflammatory cells in the …

Astrocytes, a glial cell type of the central nervous system, have emerged as detectors and
regulators of neuronal information processing. Astrocyte excitability resides in transient …

Objectives Altered enteroendocrine cell (EEC) function in obesity and type 2 diabetes is not
fully understood. Understanding the transcriptional program that controls EEC differentiation …

In this letter, we study the effect of a unique initial stimulation on random recurrent networks
of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons. Indeed, given a stochastic connectivity, this so-called …
