For people with HIV and belly fat who responded to tesamorelin by losing belly fat, taking the drug for 26 weeks made their trunk muscles denser by 1.56 to 4.86 units compared to those who didn't take it.
In urban Tanzania, a mother's education level doesn't seem to affect whether her baby gets DTP shots on time.
In rural Tanzania, babies whose moms didn't go to school are more likely to miss their DTP shots on time compared to babies whose moms finished primary school.
In rural Tanzania, babies born to teen moms are slightly more likely to miss their DTP shots on time compared to babies born to moms in their mid-20s.
In urban Tanzania, babies born to teen moms are more likely to miss their DTP shots on time compared to babies born to moms in their mid-20s.
In rural Tanzania, babies born with low birth weight are less likely to miss their first DTP shot on time compared to babies with normal birth weight.
In urban Tanzania, babies from the poorest families are more likely to miss their DTP shots on time compared to babies from the richest families.
In rural Tanzania, babies from the poorest families are more likely to miss their DTP shots on time compared to babies from the richest families.
In rural Tanzania, babies born at home are more likely to miss their DTP shots on time compared to babies born in hospitals or clinics.
In urban Tanzania, moms who start prenatal care late (third trimester) are more likely to have babies who miss their first DTP shot on time compared to moms who start in the second trimester.
For HIV patients with belly fat who responded to tesamorelin, denser subcutaneous fat (on CT scans) was linked to less subcutaneous fat area, showing that fat quality and quantity are related.
In HIV patients with belly fat who responded to tesamorelin, denser visceral fat (on CT scans) was associated with less visceral fat area, showing that fat quality and quantity are related.
In rural Tanzania, babies whose dads didn't go to school are more likely to miss their DTP shots on time compared to babies whose dads finished primary school.
For HIV patients with belly fat who responded to tesamorelin, higher subcutaneous fat density (on CT scans) was linked to lower total cholesterol levels, which is good for heart health.
In HIV patients with belly fat who responded to tesamorelin, thicker subcutaneous fat (on CT scans) was linked to higher adiponectin levels, which is beneficial for metabolic health.
When HIV patients with belly fat responded to tesamorelin, thicker visceral fat (as seen on CT scans) was linked to higher levels of adiponectin, a hormone that helps regulate metabolism.
For HIV patients with belly fat who responded to tesamorelin, the drug made the subcutaneous fat denser by 3.5 points on a CT scan scale compared to placebo, regardless of changes in fat amount.
In HIV patients with belly fat who responded to the drug tesamorelin, the treatment made the visceral fat denser by 2.3 points on a CT scan scale compared to placebo, even after accounting for changes in fat amount.
When mouse hair starts growing, pigment stem cells in the hair germ turn on color-making and branch-related genes before they divide.
Skin cells around the hair follicle make WNT signals that turn on WNT activity in pigment stem cells in mice.
Mouse pigment cells that darken after UV exposure can turn back into stem cells and keep making color for up to two years.
In mouse hair follicles, pigment cells in the hair germ area actively make new pigment cells and stem cells, while those in the bulge stay quiet and only make more stem cells.
Mouse pigment stem cells don't have a special group that never changes; different cells make Oca2 protein in each hair growth cycle.
WNT signals in the hair follicle are linked to pigment cells turning into mature color-producing cells in mice.
