1. Introduction: The current environment especially in Western societies promotes increasing consumption of calories along with a relatively sedentary lifestyle thus fueling the global obesity epidemic. Body weight is regulated by complex interaction of genes that promote energy storage along with environmental factors that promote enhanced energy intake and reduced energy expenditure. This obesity promoting environment makes it difficult for many people to sustain weight loss for long periods of time and adequately maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Obesity can overall have many devastating effects on human health such as increased tendency to develop high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems and strokes.

1. Cutler 2003 study: The findings of Cutler and others (2003) conclude that obesity is mainly caused by an increase in caloric intake and not mainly by reduced caloric expenditure. The conclusions were drawn from studies performed in the USA on data from obesity levels during the early 1900s to the end of the century. On average in 1965, the average married American woman who did not work outside the house spent 2 hours cooking and cleaning per day. In 1995, the same tasks took half the time to complete due to mass preparations and technological innovations. Urbanization is ...

Connective tissue growth factor induces collagen I expression in human lung fibroblasts through the Rac1/MLK3/JNK/AP-1 pathway

Many lung inflammatory diseases present pulmonary fibrosis as one of the symptoms, which is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic coughing and discomfort in the chest. It causes modifications of the lung tissues due to overgrowth, hardening and scarring. This occurs mainly due to deposition of collagen, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, whose turnover is regulated by fibroblast. Fibroblast is an important cell regulator that is enlisted by a site of injury. This process is driven by release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8/CXCL8.
Previously, fibroblast was thought to express no or very ...

There are four specific types of communication flows that McPhee and Zaug (2000,2009) have described. The authors believe that the four communication flows are in fact, what organizations are all about. This is because organizations cater to four different kinds of audiences, so communicating with all of these is necessary. The first communication flow is the maintenance of relationships with members through membership related negotiations. The second communication flow is self structuring, i.e. how organizations act as formally controlled entities. The third communication flow is activity coordination. The last communication flow is institutional positioning. (McPhee & Zaug, 2000)

The human brain is divided into two core parts; that is, the minor cerebral hemisphere and the major cerebral hemisphere. For proper functioning of the brain, the two hemispheres must have a mode of communication. The corpus callosum is a white material between these two hemispheres and through which the hemispheres do communicate. According to Sperry et.al (1969), lack of communication between these two hemispheres causes a definite level of commissural symptoms. However, the extent for which these symptoms occur is not well known. Remarkably, such symptoms are visible when the level, of brain activity is high (Sperry, 1982).
Then human ...

Introduction

One of the classes of chemical complexes whose coordination chemistry has generated a lot of interest is the bidentate phosphines. This can be attributed to the fact that this class of ligands facilitates the combination of phosphorus atoms that have strong metal bonds with atoms from donor groups that are more labile in nature. Examples include Nitrogen atom from the aminophosphines donor group or an Oxygen atom from etherphosphines. This is unlike hard donors that are weak and basic like MeOH and H2O that do not have good binding with transitional metals including Rhenium. Due to this fact, complexes formed from ...

In the study of development and action, development of coordination is an essential and fascinating problem. The ontogeny of coordination is primarily the major problem of the ontogenetic origin of behavior. Coordination in physical activity occurs apparently during infancy as during this time basic patterns of posture and movement occur (Newell, 1986). Basic patterns of coordination are referred to as phylogenic activities as they are seen as fundamental to the survival of human species. The species ontogenetic activities reflect socially driven skills as well as shorter-term demands of individuals that vary with culture. All these developments are directly associated ...
