Article Synopsis
- Previous research indicates that variations in the CD36 gene could influence fat metabolism and potentially impact sports performance, but no studies have specifically examined this connection.
- The study investigated the genotypes of the SNP rs1761667 in elite Moroccan athletes (cyclists and hockey players) compared to non-athlete controls and used methods like PCR and Sanger sequencing to analyze genetic differences.
- Results showed that while overall genotypic distribution was similar between elite athletes and non-athletes, significant differences emerged between the two sports, with cyclists having a lower frequency of the AA genotype compared to hockey players.
Hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovarian syndrome result from the imbalance or increase of androgen levels in females. Androgen receptor (AR) mediates the effects of androgens, and this study examines whether neuronal AR plays a role in reproduction under normal and increased androgen conditions in female mice. The neuron-specific AR knockout (KO) mouse (SynARKO) was generated from a female mouse (synapsin promoter driven Cre) and a male mouse (Ar fl/y).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the scavenger class B receptor family and is encoded by the cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) gene. This receptor has a high affinity for fatty acids and is involved in lipid metabolism. An abundance of FAT/CD36 during exercise occurs in mitochondria and solitary muscles.

Background: Limited funding is available for athletes with disabilities in the United Kingdom. This compounds the barriers to participation and development that already exist.
Method: To combat this growing problem, a Multi-Disciplinary Pediatric Adaptive Sports Clinic was formed.
Introduction: Salmonellosis is a foodborne bacterial disease responsible for food epidemics around the world. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and diversity of Salmonella serotypes in several food products isolated at the Casablanca Regional Analysis and Research Laboratory and to test their resistance to different antimicrobials.
Methodology: The isolation and identification of Salmonella were performed according to Moroccan standard 08.
