Open AccessAxonal transport in a peripheral diabetic neuropathy model: sex-dimorphic features
Disruption of axonal transport plays a pivotal role in diabetic neuropathy. A sex-dimorphism exists in the incidence and symptomatology of diabetic neuropathy; however, no studies so far have addressed sex dif...

Dihydroprogesterone Increases the Gene Expression of Myelin Basic Protein in Spinal Cord of Diabetic Rats
Alterations in myelin membranes, as well as in the expression of myelin proteins have been reported in experimental models of diabetes. Data here reported show for the first time that the mRNA levels of two is...

Interleukin-6 plasma level increases with age in an Italian elderly population (“The Treviso Longeva”–Trelong–study) with a sex-specific contribution of rs1800795 polymorphism
The transcription rate of interleukin-6 (IL-6) can be reduced by the C-allele of a polymorphism (rs1800795) located in the 5′-flanking region of the IL-6 gene (NM_000600), and IL-6 plasma levels increase with ...

Open AccessA polymorphic variant of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptor correlates with male longevity in the Italian population: a genetic study and evaluation of circulating IGF-1 from the "Treviso Longeva (TRELONG)" study
An attenuation of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling has been associated with elongation of the lifespan in simple metazoan organisms and in rodents. In humans, IGF-1 level has an age-related m...
