DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION IN LIVER AND SMALL INTESTINE FROM LACTATING RATS COMPARED TO AGE-MATCHED VIRGIN CONTROLS DETECTS INCREASED MRNA OF CHOLESTEROL BIOSYNTHETIC GENES

Abstract Background Lactation increases energy demands four- to five-fold, leading to a two- to three-fold increase in food consumption, requiring a proportional adjustment in the ability of the lactating dam to absorb nutrients and to synthesize critical biomolecules, such as cholesterol, to meet the dietary needs of both the offspring and the dam

Background This study examined the relationship between family communication and weight stigma.The Family Communication Patterns Theory was used as a framework to explain the relationships between two dimensions of family communication (i.e., conversation orientation and conformity orientation) and antifat attitudes (i.e., physical unattractiveness

This paper is focused on the space and temporal variability of soil moisture experimental data acquired at a few locations near landmine fields in the Tuzla Canton, as well as on the quantification of the statistical nature of soil moisture data on a small spatial scale.Measurements of soil water content at the surface were performed by an electro-
