Novel soybean peptide iglycin ameliorates insulin resistance of high-fat diet fed C57BL/6J mice and differentiated 3T3L1 adipocytes with improvement of insulin signaling and mitoch... by Yinghuan Wu, Ran Zhao, Minxia Li, Huiyun Li, Zhengwang Chen, Yanying Zhao

“…In addition, it decreased reactive oxygen species production, lipid peroxidation and inhibited adipocyte apoptosis with improved mitochondrial function as evidenced by up-regulation of succinate dehydrogenase activity, mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular ATP store. These data suggested that iglycin ameliorated insulin resistance via activation of insulin signaling, which was associated with inhibition of oxidative stress, adipocyte apoptosis, and improvement of mitochondrial function.…”

Climatic drivers and temporal dynamics of sandstorms in the Hexi Corridor, China by Yanying Li, Xingwei Ma, Fucun Wang, Hongying Li, Xin Nie, Qifen Fu

“…Due to its abundant sand, high temperatures, and large evaporation capacit-ies, Minqin showed the highest frequency of sandstorms. (2) The severe sandstorms and the high storm frequencies in the Hexi Corridor were found to be associated with warm and dry centers in the region, with the annual number of sandstorm days correlating positively with annual temperatures and negatively with precipitation (correlation coefficients of 0.58 and −0.29, respectively). (3) The wind thresholds of different dust intensities, precipitation, and temperature thresholds during the 1–10 days preceding sand-dust events, and their onset times were obtained,and the levels and regional distribution of drought in the Hexi Corridor during the preceding 1–12 months as well as the relationships among the parameters were assessed.…”
