Two Chemical Compounds Restore Healthy Glucose Levels In Obese Mice

...ied compounds that alleviate ER stress in cellular models and demonstrated how two of these chemicals - PBA (4-phenyl butyric acid) and TUDCA (taurine-conjugated derivative) - reduced ER stress, prevented JNK activation, and restored normal glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetic mice. The researchers used...

Model of Internal Clocks Reveals How Jet Lag Disrupts the System

... from the University of Massachusetts Amherst that models circadian rhythms in rats. To transition smoothly to a different time zone, the researchers recommend advancing in chunks of not more than four hours, thus allowing the body’s clocks to remain coordinated. The work also has implications for rotationa...

Anti-cancer drug may treat muscular dystrophy

...A or TSA increases muscles fiber size in two mouse models of muscular dystrophy. Mice with this disability, when given TSA for 3 months, were able to run on treadmills and swim as long as healthy mice.According to the researchers, the drug caused no obvious side effects or signs of toxicity. TSA belongs to ...
