Prevalence and associations of anisometropia with spherical ametropia, cylindrical power, age, and sex, based on 134,603 refractive surgery candidates. by Mona Deuchert, Andreas Frings, Vasyl Druchkiv, Jakob Schweighofer, Sajjad Muhammad, Stephan Linke, Toam Katz

“…In myopes, cylindrical power was most strongly associated with anisometropia: an increase in (negative) cylindrical power by 2.15 D doubled the chances of observing anisometropia in myopes. In addition, advancing age (double chance with an increase of 38.3 years), increasing spherical power (double chance with an increase of 8.15 D), and female sex correlated positively with increasing anisometropia in myopes.…”

Instationary metabolic flux analysis reveals that NPC1 inhibition increases glycolysis and decreases mitochondrial metabolism in brain microvascular endothelial cells by Bilal Moiz, Matthew Walls, Viviana Alpizar Vargas, Anirudh Addepalli, Callie Weber, Andrew Li, Ganesh Sriram, Alisa Morss Clyne

“…We found that NPC1 inhibition significantly increased glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway flux while decreasing mitochondrial metabolism. These changes may have been driven by gene expression changes due to increased cholesterol biosynthesis, in addition to mitochondrial cholesterol accumulation. …”
