Exploring mechanisms of insulin action and strategies to treat diabetes by Takayoshi Sasako

“…Not only the liver but also the proximal tubules of the kidney are important in the regulation of gluconeogenesis, and we revealed that insulin suppresses gluconeogenesis in accordance with absorbed glucose in the latter tissue. In skeletal muscle, another important insulin-targeted tissue, impaired insulin/IGF-1 signaling leads not only to sarcopenia, an aging-related disease of skeletal muscle, but also to osteopenia and shorter longevity. …”

The government of Hugo Chavez in the political system of modern Venezuela: achievements and failures by G. E. Ludena Lopez, N. A. Omelchenko

“…Liberal democracy, which forms the basis of the political thinking of Chavez’s critics on the right, places great importance on the system of checks and balances, which the Chavistas of the radical democracy model tend to ignore. Another example of different approaches that blur the objective assessment of the activities of the Chavez government are the attitudes of “social prioritization” supporters, who believe that the activities of nationalized companies in strategic industries should be primarily subordinated to social goals and national development, giving priority to “pragmatic decision-making”, which prioritizes the goals of productivity and efficiency within the Chavista movement. …”

Environmental Influences on Young Adult Male Height. A Comparison of Town and Countryside in the Netherlands, 1815-1900 by Jan Kok, Erik Beekink, David Bijsterbosch

“…But perhaps urban-rural differences can simply be attributed to compositional effects, e.g. in cities relatively more poor, illiterate or incomplete families were to be found. Another question is whether urban-rural differences are limited to large cities compared to the rest, or whether we also find differences between towns and villages. …”
