  • Homeodomain Transcription Factor Pitx2 is Required for Muscle Maintenance and Energy Homeostasis

    Creator:
    Lattier, Vera C.
    Abstract:
    Skeletal muscle, the largest organ in the body in mass, is composed by 600 specialized muscles in humans with unique biochemical, physiological and metabolic identities. Skeletal muscles control body movement, locomotion, and nutrient balance. Muscle formation requires precisely orchestrated environmental signals and regulatory gene networks in time and space. Gene...

  • Vitamin E Protects Developmental Gene Expression and Metabolic Networks in Zebrafish Embryos

    Creator:
    Head, Brian A.
    Abstract:
    Vitamin E (VitE) is necessary for vertebrate embryonic development. VitE prevents lipid peroxidation (LPO), which requires detoxification by cellular antioxidant systems subsequently involving reducing power derived from energy metabolism. Thus, VitE protects metabolic networks in the developing embryo and the integrated gene expression networks compensating for and impaired by LPO-induced...
