Elastase and Tryptase Govern TNF alpha-Mediated Production of Active Chemerin by Adipocytes
(2012-12)Chemerin is a leukocyte chemoattractant and adipokine with important immune and metabolic roles. Chemerin, secreted in an inactive form prochemerin, undergoes C-terminal proteolytic cleavage to generate active chemerin, a ... -
Electromyographic assessment of trunk muscle activation amplitudes during a simulated lifting task using pattern recognition techniques
(Elsevier, 2009-12)This study sought to determine the patterns of neuromuscular response from 24-trunk muscle sites during a symmetrical lift and replace task. Surface electromyograms (EMG) and kinematic variables were recorded from 29 healthy ... -
Embryonic lethality in mice lacking the nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 protein due to impaired cardiac development and function
(2011)Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 protein (NFAT5) is thought to be important for cellular adaptation to osmotic stress by regulating the transcription of genes responsible for the synthesis or transport of organic ... -
Enhancing occupation through use of substances: A critical interpretative synthesis
(2019-11)Introduction. Substance use, as an occupation, is typically portrayed as problematic and the target of occupational therapy intervention and remediation. At the same time, psychoactive substances may be used to enhance ... -
