A NONHUMAN PRIMATE MODEL OF VERTICAL SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY FACILITATES MECHANISTIC AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH IN HUMAN OBESITY

A nonhuman primate model of vertical sleeve gastrectomy facilitates mechanistic and translational research in human obesity

Summary: The obesity epidemic significantly contributes to overall morbidity Dust Container Cover and mortality.Bariatric surgery is the gold standard treatment for obesity and metabolic dysfunction, yet the mechanisms by which it exerts metabolic benefit remain unclear.Here, we demonstrate a model of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) in nonhuman p

Sepiapterin reductase (Spra and Sprb) regulate carotenoid and pteridine metabolism influencing the koi carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) coloration

The evolution of teleost coloration is strongly linked with the fish-specific genome duplication (FSGD).Sepiapterin reductase (Spr) Sleeves is commonly required in pteridine pigment synthesis and two paralogs are found in teleosts.However, the functions of spra and sprb in pigmentation have not been completely elucidated.Here we found that spra was
