Considerable controversy exists in determining the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) in obesity. Two purebred congenic strains of PPARalpha-null mice were developed to study the role of this receptor in modulating lipid t ...
Microsimulation of transportation and land use evolution require base year, individual characteristics and disaggregate locations of the households and persons living in the study area. On the other hand at best, the census and travel survey, which are the ...
This invention relates to the isolation and cloning of the promoter and other control regions of a human ob gene. It provides a method for identifying and screening for agents useful for the treatment of diseases and pathological conditions affected by the ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) is a nuclear receptor that regulates adipocyte differentiation. Variations in the PPARgamma gene may affect the function of the PPARgamma and, therefore, body adipocity. We investigated the frequ ...
The current thesis constitutes an interdisciplinary approach of detecting a selection pressure driven by the environment examining the contribution of Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis in the field of Landscape Genetics. Even though several studies have ...
Microsimulation of urban transportation and land use evolution require base year, individual characteristics and disaggregate locations of the households and persons living in the study area. On the other hand, mainly due to privacy reasons, at best the ce ...
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a transcription factor implicated in adipocyte differentiation, lipid and glucose metabolism. A polymorphism corresponding to a silent C-->T substitution was detected in exon 6 of the PPAR gam ...
We conduct an experiment where ten attendees of an open-air music festival are acting as Bluetooth probes. We then construct a parametric statistical model to estimate the total number of visible Bluetooth devices in the festival area. By comparing our est ...

OBJECTIVE: The Pro12Ala polymorphism of the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2) gene has been inconsistently associated with body mass index variations and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We investigated the impa ...
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The objectives of the present investigation were to examine: 1) whether a Pro115Gln variant in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPAR-gamma2) is associated with juvenile-onset obesity among Danish Caucasianmen and 2) w ...
