Abstract Flashlight Holder Pavlovian fear conditioning is widely used to study mechanisms of fear learning, but high-throughput studies are hampered by the labor-intensive nature of examining participants in the lab.To circumvent this bottle-neck, fear conditioning tasks have been developed for remote delivery.Previous studies have examined remotel
Acute retinol mobilization by retinol-binding protein 4 in mouse liver induces fibroblast growth factor 21 expression
Hepatocytes secrete retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) into circulation, thereby mobilizing vitamin A from the liver to provide retinol for extrahepatic tissues.Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with elevated RBP4 levels in the blood.However, in a previous study, we observed that chronically increased RBP4 by forced Rbp4 expression in the
Charcoal-based products combustion: Emission profiles, health exposure, and mitigation strategies
Charcoal-based products are widely spread and appreciated as fuel for grilling food.However, during their use, they release high emissions that pose significant environmental issues and health risks.Charcoal grilling emissions contain a wide range of pollutants including CO, CO2, NOx, PM, PAHs, VOCs, and trace metals.The emission of these pollutant
The Assessment and Management of Marine Pest Risks Posed by Shipping: The Australian and New Zealand Experience
Ships have been translocating species around the world for hundreds of years but attempts to Lockers understand and manage this issue date back only three decades.Here we review the assessment and management of risks from vessel biofouling and ballast water over this time period from an Australian and New Zealand perspective.We detail a history of
