mTORC1/rpS6 and mTORC2/PKC regulate spermatogenesis through Arp3-mediated actin microfilament organization in Eriocheir sinensis
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a crucial signaling protein regulating a range of cellular events. Numerous studies have reported that the mTOR pathway is related to spermatogenesis in mammals. However...

mTORC1/C2 regulate spermatogenesis in Eriocheir sinensis via alterations in the actin filament network and cell junctions
Spermatogenesis is a finely regulated process of germ cell proliferation and differentiation that leads to the production of sperm in seminiferous tubules. Although the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) sig...

Transgenic rescue of defective Cd36 ameliorates insulin resistance in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) display several features of the human insulin-resistance syndromes. Cd36 deficiency is genetically linked to insulin resistance in SHR. We show that transgenic expression ...

Linkage of 11β-hydroxylase mutations with altered steroid biosynthesis and blood pressure in the Dahl rat
In Dahl salt-hypertension sensitive (S) and resistant (R) strains fed a high NaCI diet, 11β-hydroxylase polymorphisms cosegregate with the adrenal capacity to synthesize 18-hydroxy-11-deoxycorticosterone (18-O...
