The Impact of Abnormal Glucose Tolerance and Obesity on Fetal Growth by Erin Graves, David J. Hill, Susan Evers, Kristine Van Aarsen, Brie Yama, Su Yuan, M. Karen Campbell

“…High maternal BMI (OR=1.53 (1.11, 2.12)), height (1.98 (1.62, 2.42)), antidepressant use (1.71 (1.20, 2.44)), pregnancy weight-gain exceeding 40 pounds (1.79 (1.25, 2.57)), and high blood sugar (2.68, (1.53, 5.27)) were all positively associated with LGA birth. Strikingly, the difference in risk from diagnosed and treated gestational diabetes compared to women with a single abnormal glucose tolerance test (but no diagnosis of gestational diabetes) was significant (OR=0.65, p=0.12 versus OR=2.84, p<0.01). …”

Computational model for mammalian circadian oscillator: interacting with NAD+/SIRT1 pathway and age-related changes in gene expression of circadian oscillator by N. L. Podkolodnyy, N. N. Tverdokhleb, O. A. Podkolodnaya

“…In particular, the effects of SIRT1 in circadian oscillator are the gain of degradation of protein Per2, increasing of the gene Bmal1 transcription, deacetylation of chromatin in regulatory regions of circadian oscillator genes in the E-boxes area with subsequent suppression of transcription. We took into account all of these processes in our extended model of the circadian oscillator. …”
