APOC-III: a Gatekeeper in Controlling Triglyceride Metabolism

2023

Abstract Purpose of Review Apolipoprotein C-III (ApoC-III) is a widely known player in triglyceride metabolism, and it has been recently recognized as a polyhedric factor which may regulate several pathways beyond lipid metabolism by influencing cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological disease risk. This review summarizes the different functions of ApoC-III and underlines the recent findings related to its multifaceted pathophysiological role. Recent Findings The role of ApoC-III has been implicated in HDL metabolism and in the development of atherosclerosis, inflammation, and ER stress in endothelial cells. ApoC-III has been recently considered an important player in insulin resistance …

Indefinite integrals involving complete elliptic integrals of the third kind

2017

ABSTRACTA method developed recently for obtaining indefinite integrals of functions obeying inhomogeneous second-order linear differential equations has been applied to obtain integrals with respect to the modulus of the complete elliptic integral of the third kind. A formula is derived which gives an integral involving the complete integral of the third kind for every known integral for the complete elliptic integral of the second kind. The formula requires only differentiation and can therefore be applied for any such integral, and it is applied here to almost all such integrals given in the literature. Some additional integrals are derived using the recurrence relations for the complete …

A Lagrangian method for deriving new indefinite integrals of special functions

2015

A new method is presented for obtaining indefinite integrals of common special functions. The approach is based on a Lagrangian formulation of the general homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation of second order. A general integral is derived which involves an arbitrary function, and therefore yields an infinite number of indefinite integrals for any special function which obeys such a differential equation. Techniques are presented to obtain the more interesting integrals generated by such an approach, and many integrals, both previously known and completely new are derived using the method. Sample results are given for Bessel functions, Airy functions, Legendre functions and hype…

Fourier series for elliptic integrals and some generalizations via hypergeometric series

2008

Fourier series are derived for generalizations of the three canonical Legendre incomplete elliptic integrals using a hypergeometric series approach. The Fourier series for the incomplete Epstein–Hubbell integrals are obtained as special cases of the generalization of the Legendre integrals of the first and second kinds. The Fourier series for the integrals of the first and second kinds, and those for the Epstein–Hubbell integrals, were obtained recently using a different approach, but the series obtained for the generalization of the incomplete integral of the third kind is new. All cases of the integral of the third kind are given, with the modulus and the parameter being complex variables…

Indefinite integrals of incomplete elliptic integrals from Jacobi elliptic functions

2017

Integration formulas are derived for the three canonical Legendre elliptic integrals. These formulas are obtained from the differential equations satified by these elliptic integrals when the indep...

Indefinite integrals involving the Jacobi Zeta and Heuman Lambda functions

2017

ABSTRACTJacobian elliptic functions are used to obtain formulas for deriving indefinite integrals for the Jacobi Zeta function and Heuman's Lambda function. Only sample results are presented, mostly obtained from powers of the twelve Glaisher elliptic functions. However, this sample includes all such integrals in the literature, together with many new integrals. The method used is based on the differential equations obeyed by these functions when the independent variable is the argument u of elliptic function theory. The same method was used recently, in a companion paper, to derive similar integrals for the three canonical incomplete elliptic integrals.

Lajiristeyksiä maan ääressä : lajityyppien intertekstuaalinen analyysi Kristina Carlsonin romaanista Maan ääreen

2014

Pro gradu -tutkielmani aineena on lajityyppien intertekstuaalinen analyysi Kristina Carlsonin romaanista Maan ääreen (1999). Tarkastelen romaania ja siitä kirjoitettua kymmentä kirjallisuusarvostelua, joiden mukaan teoksesta on löydettävissä useita eri genrejä. Selvitän, ilmenevätkö kirjallisuusarvosteluissa esitetyt lajit Maan ääreen -romaanissa, ja jos ilmenevät, niin millä tavoin. Tutkin myös minkälaista lisätietoa romaanin lajipiirteiden tarkastelu tuotaa teoksesta ja siitä kirjoitetuista kirjallisuusarvosteluista. Tarkastelen Maan ääreen -romaanin lajeja intertekstuaalisuuden näkökulmasta. Laajassa kontekstissa intertekstuaalisuus ilmenee muun muassa lajien välisenä kommunikaationa, jo…

Presenting “pissis girls”: Categorisation in a social media video

2015

In Finland, a social category called “pissis girls” has evolved into a cultural concept, used widely in various discourses concerning young women. In the paper, the empirical focus is on how, in the context of a viral video disseminated in social media, a group of young girls are presented as representatives of this category. The video, called ÄM IRK, is a short edited clip of an emergent interaction between young men and girls meeting by chance in a park. Drawing on the notions of membership categorisation, cluster of indexes and indexical field, “enoughness” and authentication, the paper investigates how the edited video, through the means of de- and recontextualisation of the emergent in…

A theorem of insertion and extension of functions for normal spaces

The effects of muscle mass and muscle quality on cardio-metabolic risk in peripubertal girls: a longitudinal study from childhood to early adulthood.

2017

Increased cardio-metabolic risk is well documented in children and adolescents with obesity and normal weight obesity (NWO). However, the associations of muscle mass and muscle quality with cardio-metabolic risk, independent of weight status from childhood to adulthood, has not been examined. A total of 236 girls were followed from pre-puberty to early adulthood. Fat mass (FM) and lean mass (LM) of the whole body were assessed by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; muscle cross-sectional area (mCSA), muscle density (mDen; skeletal muscle fat content) of the lower leg by the peripheral quantitative computerized tomography; and blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotei…
