Dietary rescue of altered metabolism gene reveals unexpected [i]Drosophila[/i] mating cues

2015

Running title: Dietary rescue of metabolic mutation and reproduction; To develop and reproduce, animals need long-chain Mono and PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFAs; PUFAs). Although some UFAs can be synthesized by the organism, others must be provided by the diet. The gene desat1, involved in Drosophila melanogaster UFA metabolism, is necessary for both larval development and for adult sex pheromone communication. We first characterized desat1 expression in larval tissues. Then, we found that larvae in which desat1 expression was knocked down throughout development died during the larval stages when raised on standard food. By contrast pure MUFAs or PUFAs, but not saturated FAs, added to th…

Role of CD36 in Oral and Postoral Sensing of Lipids

2011

Obesity and associated plethora of diseases constitute a major public health challenge worldwide. The conjunction of profound changes in our lifestyle and a thrifty genetic that evolved in an environment of food scarcity largely explains this epidemic situation. Food abundance promotes our specific appetite for the more palatable food generally rich in lipids. It is noteworthy that this attraction for fatty food is not specific to humans. Rats and mice also spontaneously prefer lipid-rich food in a free-choice situation. Detection of lipids in food requires the presence of specific sensors located in strategic places (e.g., oral cavity, small intestine, brain) whose activation results in a …

Terminology for contrast-enhanced sonography: a practical glossary.

2007

Objective. The purpose of this glossary is to offer an updated guide to the correct terminology for contrast-enhanced sonography. Methods. This report was prepared by a panel of radiologists from the Sonography Section of the Italian Association of Medical Radiology. A leading author prepared a list of terms based on a comprehensive literature survey. The draft was analyzed by 3 experts on the topic of contrast-enhanced sonography. These reviewers reached a consensus and prepared the final version. Results. A list of 137 terms is included. These terms are briefly defined. Their proper application is discussed, with special reference to potential misleading uses. Conclusions. Contrast-enhanc…

Valoración de las acciones en los mercados de capitales español y europeo

2011

Esta Tesis se enmarca en la teoría sobre valoración de activos financieros y su objetivo principal es investigar y cuantificar los factores de riesgo que intervienen actualmente (enero 1993-diciembre 2004) en la valoración de los activos españoles desde una perspectiva doméstica (considerando tan sólo la inversión en el mercado bursátil español), e internacional (bajo el supuesto de un mercado bursátil integrado en el que se incluyen los activos financieros negociados en la Zona Euro y en el Reino Unido). El análisis conjunto e integrado de los resultados empíricos permite exponer cuáles son los factores que están interviniendo en la valoración de los activos desde los contextos nacional y …

La influencia de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones y su repercusión en las estrategias empresariales: La banca online y s…

2010

La importancia estratégica de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) ha sido un tema que en las últimas décadas ha ocupado muchas páginas de revistas y libros. El fenómeno Internet, como procedimiento de comunicación, ha cambiado no sólo la relación de las empresas con sus clientes y proveedores, sino la naturaleza de la rivalidad en muchos sectores, lo que está exigiendo un replanteamiento de las estrategias empresariales. Un aspecto significativo es valorar si las TIC son un factor estratégico hoy en día, es decir si proporcionan ventajas competitivas sostenibles a las empresas; y de ser así si estas ventajas lo son en la reducción de costes, en la diferenciación o en amba…

La responsabilidad social de la empresa en las entidades de crédito españolas: un enfoque basado en los grupos de interés

2010

El objetivo de esta tesis es investigar cómo conciben las entidades de crédito españolas la Responsabilidad Social de la Empresa (RSE), analizando en detalle la importancia que asignan a sus diferentes grupos de interés: accionistas, empleados, clientes, proveedores, la comunidad y la administración pública. El trabajo de campo se realizó a través de una encuesta contestada por 57 entidades de crédito españolas. Los resultados del estudio muestran que la RSE es un movimiento en expansión donde hay un enorme potencial en el ámbito financiero español. Sin embargo, aún son escasas las entidades que han empezado a adoptar técnicas para evaluar los riesgos medioambientales, sociales y -en genera…

FISCALITY – RELEVANT FACTOR INFLUENCING THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

2013

Main tool for macroeconomic management - fiscal policy consists in establishing the levels of taxation and spending in order to influence macroeconomic performance. Fiscal policy, promoted by the government authorities of any contemporary state, is directed usually to achieving microeconomic and macroeconomic goals deriving from the roles the state must fulfill in the economy, respectively the allocative role, distributive, regulatory and the stabilizer role. Governmental authorities, through the production and supply of public goods that are financed at the expense of taxes or duties, or on the public debt, affect both individuals’ utility functions and production functions of economic age…

Caveolin 3, flotillin 1 and influenza virus hemagglutinin reside in distinct domains on the sarcolemma of skeletal myofibers.

2011

We examined the distribution of selected raft proteins on the sarcolemma of skeletal myofibers and the role of cholesterol environment in the distribution. Immunofluorescence staining showed that flotillin-1 and influenza hemagglutinin exhibited rafts that located in the domains deficient of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex, but the distribution patterns of the two proteins were different. Cholesterol depletion from the sarcolemma by means of methyl-β-cyclodextrin resulted in distorted caveolar morphology and redistribution of the caveolin 3 protein. Concomitantly, the water permeability of the sarcolemma increased significantly. However, cholesterol depletion did not reshuffle flotillin…
