Adoptive Transfer of Lepr+ Bone Marrow Cells Attenuates the Osteopetrotic Phenotype of db/db Mice Open
Leptin-deficient (ob/ob) and leptin receptor (Lepr)-deficient db/db mice develop a mild form of osteoclast-rich osteopetrosis, most evident in long bone epiphyses, implying leptin is important for normal replacement of cartilage during ske…

Long-duration leptin transgene expression in dorsal vagal complex does not alter bone parameters in female Sprague Dawley rats Open
The hypothalamus and dorsal vagal complex (DVC) are both important for integration of signals that regulate energy balance. Increased leptin transgene expression in either the hypothalamus or DVC of female rats was shown to decrease white …

Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue Is Not Required for Reconstitution of the Immune System Following Irradiation in Male Mice Open
Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) is hypothesized to serve as an expandable/contractible fat depot which functions, in part, to minimize energy requirements for sustaining optimal hematopoiesis. We investigated whether BMAT is required for…

Risk Factors for Salmonella Detection in Commercial Layer Flocks in Spain Open
Trends in Salmonella human infections are assumed to be related to the distribution of the pathogen in the animal reservoir/food products, and cases in humans are most often linked to poultry and poultry products (eggs, meat). Therefore, o…

Higher weight in partially leptin-resistant db/+ mice is associated with positive effects on bone Open
Absence of leptin confers metabolic dysfunction resulting in morbid obesity. Bone growth and maturation are also impaired. Partial leptin resistance is more common than leptin deficiency and, when induced by feeding mice a high fat diet, o…
