Socioeconomic development predicts a weaker contraceptive effect of breastfeeding

The contraceptive effect of breastfeeding remains essential to controlling fertility in many developing regions of the world. The extent to which this negative effect of breastfeeding on ovarian activity is sensitive to ecological conditions, notably mater ...

C/EBP alpha mediates the growth inhibitory effect of progestins on breast cancer cells

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia

Steroid hormones are key gene regulators in breast cancer cells. While estrogens stimulate cell proliferation, progestins activate a single cell cycle followed by proliferation arrest. Here, we use biochemical and genome-wide approaches to show that proges ...

A high resolution LC-MS targeted method for the concomitant analysis of 11 contraceptive progestins and 4 steroids

Cathrin Brisken, Marc Moniatte, Jonathan Paz Montoya, Fabio De Martino, Marie Shamseddin, Csaba Ferenc László

In the context of hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), many women are exposed to exogenous hormones. Current use of hormonal contraception with combined ethinyl estradiol and different progestins bestows a breast cancer relative ri ...

Sex-specific changes in gene expression in response to estrogen pollution around the onset of sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae)

Oliver Michele Selmoni

The synthetic 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) is a common estrogenic pollutant that has been suspected to affect the demography of river-dwelling salmonids. One possibility is that exposure to EE2 tips the balance during initial steps of sex differentiatio ...

Diffusion-weighted MRS of acetate in the rat brain

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Nicolas Kunz, Masoumeh Dehghani Moghadam

Acetate has been proposed as an astrocyte-specific energy substrate for metabolic studies in the brain. The determination of the relative contribution of the intracellular and extracellular compartments to the acetate signal using diffusion-weighted magnet ...

Polyphenic trait promotes liver cancer in a model of epigenetic instability

Didier Trono, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Alessandra Piersigilli, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Marco Cassano, Suk Min Jang

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents the fifth most common form of cancer worldwide and carries a high mortality rate due to lack of effective treatment. Males are eight times more likely to develop HCC than females, an effect largely driven by sex ho ...

Direct noninvasive estimation of myocardial tricarboxylic acid cycle flux in vivo using hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hongxia Lei, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Tian Cheng

BACKGROUND: The heart relies on continuous energy production and imbalances herein impair cardiac function directly. The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is the primary means of energy generation in the healthy myocardium, but direct noninvasive quantificati ...

Mathematical Modeling of Brain Energy Metabolism, Measured with PET and MRS in Rodents

Bernard Lanz

Positron emission tomography (PET) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are two biomedical measurement techniques developed in the end of the XXth century, which drastically improved the amount of accessible information available in vivo. PET ...

A two-compartment mathematical model of neuroglial metabolism using [1-C-11] acetate

Rolf Gruetter, Bernard Lanz

The purpose of this study was to develop a two-compartment metabolic model of brain metabolism to assess oxidative metabolism from [1-C-11] acetate radiotracer experiments, using an approach previously applied in C-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), ...

ID4 regulates mammary gland development by suppressing p38MAPK activity

Yiming Li, Cathrin Brisken, Xiuwei Zhang, Jun Dong, Marian Caikovski

The ID family of helix-loop-helix proteins regulates cell proliferation and differentiation in many different developmental pathways, but the functions of ID4 in mammary development are unknown. We report that mouse Id4 is expressed in cap cells, basal cel ...

H-1-[C-13] NMR Spectroscopy of the Rat Brain During Infusion of [2-C-13] Acetate at 14.1 T

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Bernard Lanz

Full signal intensity H-1-[C-13] NMR spectroscopy, combining a preceding C-13-editing block based on an inversion BISEP (B-1-insensitive spectral editing pulse) with a spin-echo coherence-based localization, was developed and implemented at 14.1 T. C-13 ed ...

Stimulation-induced increases of astrocytic oxidative metabolism in rats and humans investigated with 1-11C-acetate

Pierre Magistretti

The purpose of this study was to investigate astrocytic oxidative metabolism using 1-(11)C-acetate. 1-(11)C-acetate kinetics were evaluated in the rat somatosensory cortex using a beta-scintillator during different manipulations (test-retest, infraorbital ...

Influence of temperature and high acetate concentrations on methanogenensis in lake sediment slurries

Christof Holliger

Methanogenesis from main methane precursors H2/CO2 and acetate was investigated in a temperature range of 2–70 °C using sediments from Lake Baldegg, Switzerland. Psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, mesophilic, and thermophilic methanogenic microbial communities ...
