Industry 4.0 design project based on exposure situations: A case study in aeronautics.

Background: Industry 4.0 generates risks renewing stakes for design projects integrating work activities, as can be done in activity centred ergonomics and participatory ergonomics.

Objective: This article aims to show the contribution of using typical situations to define requirements for Industry 4.

RARgamma and TRbeta expressions are decreased in PBMC and SWAT of obese subjects in weight gain.

In order to evaluate the expression of nuclear receptors at the peripheral level in obese subjects, messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of different isoforms of retinoic acid receptor (RAR), triiodothyronine (TR), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) were determined and compared in peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMC) and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (SWAT). Twelve lean subjects and 68 obese subjects divided into weight gain (WG), weight-stable (WS), and weight loss (WL) groups were studied. Nuclear receptor mRNA levels were assessed in PBMC and SWAT using a quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method.

Role of adipogenic and thermogenic genes in susceptibility or resistance to develop diet-induced obesity in rats.

The aim of the present work was to assess whether changes in adipose tissue gene expression related with adipogenesis and/or thermogenesis could be involved in the mechanism conferring susceptibility or resistance to develop obesity in high-fat fed outbreed rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were fed with standard laboratory diet (control group) or high fat diet. After 15 days, two groups of rats with significant differences on body weight gain in response to the high fat diet were characterized and identified as diet-induced obesity (DIO) and diet resistant (DR) rats.

Synergic effect of vitamin A and high-fat diet in adipose tissue development and nuclear receptor expression in young rats.

In order to study the effects of dietary lipids and vitamin A on the development of adipose tissues, young rats were submitted for 8 d to a control or to two cafeteria diets with normal (Caf) or higher (Caf + ) vitamin A levels. Retinoid (retinoic acid receptor (RAR) a, RARg, retinoid X receptor(RXR) alpha) and fatty acid (PPARgamma) receptor mRNA was measured in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue (Swat) and in isolated mature adipocytes by RT-PCR. The stroma vascular fraction was cultured in vitro to test the capacities of the adipocyte precursors to proliferate and differentiate.

Effect of vitamin A content in cafeteria diet on the expression of nuclear receptors in rat subcutaneous adipose tissue.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of cafeteria diet containing control or elevated level of vitamin A on the expression of nuclear receptors in adipose tissue. Male Wistar rats were submitted to 3 experimental diets during 8 weeks, a standard diet and two hyper-energetic, hyperlipidic "cafeteria" diets containing normal (Caf) or higher (Caf+) vitamin A level. During the experiment, body weights and energy intakes were measured.
