Why Measure IGFBP-6?

Insulin-like
Growth Factor Binding protein 6 (IGFBP-6) has been identified to be a selective
inhibitor of IGF-II activities such as proliferation, survival and
differentiation of cells. According to a recent publication, Bach, L. this marker
has been shown to have a number of IGF-independent actions, involving promotion
of apoptosis in some cells and inhibition of angiogenesis. It is because of these roles that IGFBP-6
should be studied further in various fields of research[1].

Adipose-specific Vdr deletion alters body fat and enhances mammary epithelial density

 

Study Summary:

The objective of this study was to examine the role of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) in adipose tissue with a strong focus on the mammary gland. Vitamin D status has been associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome and several cancers such as colon and breast. It is known that adipocytes express VDR and obesity is a known risk factor for cancer. Researchers performing this study sought to explore the intricacies of adipocytes,the actions of vitamin D in adipose tissue, and how they may contribute to its cancer protective effects. 

The results of this study revealed that Vdr in mature adipocytes alters the metabolic response to high fat diets and exerts anti-proliferative effects on the mammary epithelium.

Eagle Biosciences’ 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA was used to measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D in serum samples. Read More

Is there Really a Link Between Light Exposure and Children’s Weight?

by Eagle Biosciences


 

A recent study at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia revealed that light exposure plays a role in the weight of preschool children. Researchers studied children aged three to five, from six Brisbane childcare centers. At time 1, they measured children’s sleep, activity and light exposure for a two week period, along with height and weight to calculate their BMI, then followed up 12-months later.

PhD student, Cassandra Pattinson explained,”The circadian clock — also known as the internal body clock — is largely driven by our exposure to light and the timing of when that happens. It impacts on sleep patterns, weight gain or loss, hormonal changes and our mood.” 

The findings of this research suggested that exposure to different types of light (both artificial and natural) at different times now needs to be part of the conversation about the weight of children. Read More

Aqueous Fraction of Beta vulgaris Ameliorates Hyperglycemia in Diabetic Micedue to Enhanced Glucose Stimulated InsulinSecretion, Mediated by Acetylcholine and GLP-1, and Elevated Glucose Uptake viaIncreased Membrane Bound GLUT4Transporters.

Study Summary:

The objective of this study was designed to investigate the probable mechanisms of anti-hyperglycemic activity of B. Vulgaris. According to Yanarda G R et al. in Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology,Beta vulgaris subsp. Cicla, also known as Chard, is a leafy green vegetable, with a red stalk and is widely consumed throughout the world. It has been traditionally used as an anti-hyperglycemic nutritional supplement in Turkey. Nutrition therapy is an important part of diabetes self-management education.

It is widely known that plant extracts often contain a large amount of carbohydrates, which are eventually digested to glucose, hence, might be the principal stimulus for insulin secretion. Therefore,this study has been designed to identify the non-glucose stimulants that might be responsible for any enhancement in level of insulin secretions observed. For this study, they had chosen a total of 10 hormones, based on their established significance in insulin secretion.

Eagle Biosciences Norepinephrine ELISA Assay Kit was utilized to measure norepinephrine in plasma samples.
