Free fatty acids (FFAs) are fundamental units of key nutrients.FFAs exert various biological functions, depending on the chain length and degree of desaturation.Recent studies have shown that several FFAs act as ligands of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), activate intracellular signaling and exert physiological JACKETSOTHER functions via these
Neutralization activity of sera/IgG preparations from fully BNT162b2 vaccinated individuals against SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Kappa variants
Abstract In the present prospective study, 225 individuals in Kumamoto General Hospital, Japan, who received two-doses of BNT162b2 vaccine were enrolled/followed up over 150 days and neutralizing activity (NT50) of their sera and antiviral activity (EC50) of IgG purified from sera on day-60 post-1st-dose were determined against wild-type SARS-CoV-2
Long-term population trends of introduced mammals on an tropical island
The JACKETSOTHER introduction of species in areas with no top-down control is a recipe for ecosystem catastrophe.Theory predicts that introduced species in areas that lack predators may experience rapid growth and subsequently crash or stabilize around the carrying capacity.Impressively, there are very few studies on the population trend of tropica
