We have examined the effect of mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) on the secretion of rat transferrin (rTf) by Sertoli cells (SC) in the presence and absence of FSH. Significant decreases in rTf secretion were observed in SC cultures exposed to 50 and 75 microM MEHP, in the absence of FSH. Treatment of SC with FSH (300 ng/ml) obviated this suppression of rTf secretion by MEHP. These findings indicate an effect of MEHP on rTf secretion by SC in vitro which could account for the testicular toxicity of MEHP in vivo.

Dileucine ingestion, but not leucine, increases lower body strength and performance following resistance training: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: The essential amino acid leucine (LEU) plays a crucial role in promoting resistance-training adaptations. Dileucine (DILEU), a LEU-LEU dipeptide, increases MPS rates, however its impact on resistance training outcomes remains unexplored. This study assessed the effects of DILEU supplementation on resistance training adaptations.

Motivation: Mathematical modelling plays a crucial role in understanding inter- and intracellular signalling processes. Currently, ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are the predominant approach in systems biology for modelling such pathways. While ODE models offer mechanistic interpretability, they also suffer from limitations, including the need to consider all relevant compounds, resulting in large models difficult to handle numerically and requiring extensive data.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of Urolithin A (UA) on muscle endurance, muscle strength, inflammatory levels, oxidative stress, and protein metabolism status in resistance-trained male athletes.
Method: An 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted with twenty resistance-trained male athletes. Participants were supplemented with 1 g of UA daily.
A novel 4,4-dimethylcytidine in the archaeal ribosome enhances hyperthermophily.

Ribosome structure and activity are challenged at high temperatures, often demanding modifications to ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) to retain translation fidelity. LC-MS/MS, bisulfite-sequencing, and high-resolution cryo-EM structures of the archaeal ribosome identified an RNA modification, 4,4-dimethylcytidine (mC), at the universally conserved C918 in the 16S rRNA helix 31 loop. Here, we characterize and structurally resolve a class of RNA methyltransferase that generates mC whose function is critical for hyperthermophilic growth.

Article Synopsis
- * The research analyzed 72 cases of angiosarcoma, highlighting overexpressed genes in chemoresistant cases and identifying significant signaling pathway enrichments related to immune responses.
- * Key findings suggest that certain gene overexpressions are linked to lower chemotherapy sensitivity and poorer survival outcomes, indicating their potential as biomarkers for chemoresistance in angiosarcoma.
