The hypofunction of osteoblasts induced by glucocorticoids (GCs) has been identified as a major contributing factor for GC-induced osteoporosis (GIO). However, the biological mechanism underlying the effect of GC in osteoblasts are not fully elucidated. Recent studies implicated an important role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt) signaling pathway in the regulation of bone growth.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper investigates the identification and classification of different mutton varieties from Tan-han hybrid sheep, Yanchi Tan-sheep, and small-tailed sheep in Ningxia using visible and near-infrared hyperspectral imaging techniques.
  • It applies various pretreatment methods and algorithms, including successive projection algorithm (SPA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and radial basis kernel function support vector machine (RBFSVM), achieving high accuracy in identifying mutton varieties.
  • Results indicate that using the 400–1,000 nm band yields better classification accuracy (up to 100%) compared to 900–1,700 nm, suggesting that visual characteristics like color and texture are more distinct than compositional differences among the mutton
