    Abstract We tested the hypothesis that prenatal administration of PPARα agonist clofibrate may permanently increase browning capacity of developing white adipose tissue (WAT). Pregnant C57BL/6J mice were fed a basal diet, without (C) or with 0.5% clofibrate (CF, a PPARα agonist) throughout pregnancy. After parturition, only male offspring were used; all suckled their mothers (who were eating the C diet) and after weaning, they ate a standard chow diet for 4 wk, followed by a high-fat diet (HFD) for 5 wk. Administration of CF up-regulated serum concentrations and hepatic expression of FGF21 in fetuses, with a return to basal levels after CF withdrawal. At postnatal day 84 (P84), CF-offspring had significantly higher expression of thermogenic genes (Ucp1, Cidea, Ppara Ppargc1a, Cpt1b) and UCP1 protein levels in response to HFD in inguinal fat, but not in retroperitoneal (combined with perirenal) or epididymal fat. Based on UCP1 levels in inguinal fat on P7, P14, and P21, appearance of the transient brown-adipocyte phenotype seemed to be hastened by CF exposure. We concluded that giving CF to pregnant mice programmed greater HFD-induced WAT browning in subcutaneous, but not in visceral fat, in their male offspring at adulthood.

    Abstract With regards to cardiovascular health, frequent consumption of fried foods is discouraged, despite a lack of clear evidence of a direct link between eating oxidative frying oil (OFO) and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to diets containing fresh or fried soybean oil (groups C and O, respectively) from in utero to 28 weeks of age. A subset of rats in group O was supplemented with vitamin E (500 mg/kg of DL-α-tocopherol acetate; group OE) from 8 week of age onward to mitigate oxidative stress associated with OFO ingestion. Echocardiography, cardiac histology and indices associated with ATP production and calcium cycling in cardiac tissues were measured. Compared to group C, there was cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction, in groups O and OE, with no differences between the latter two groups. Although cardiac mRNA levels of genes associated with mitochondrial biogenesis and function were increased, there were lower ATP concentrations and higher transcripts of uncoupling proteins in groups O and OE than in group C. In addition, decreases in phosphorylation of phospholamban and Ca

    Abstract Background/purpose: In children, the use of stainless steel crowns to treat caries has a high success rate. However, due to the unnatural color of stainless steel crowns, it still needs to modify crown types. The present meta-analysis study aims to explore the previous articles on the comparison of stainless steel crowns and zirconia crowns.
    Methods: The systematic search of studies on the comparison of zirconia crowns and stainless steel crowns for primary teeth was mainly in PubMed and Cochrane database. The standardized mean differences (SMDs) of gingival health between zirconia crowns and stainless steel crowns comprised the primary outcome, and the SMDs of plaque index compared two crown treatments was treated as the secondary outcome.
    Results: The meta-analysis extracted 187 papers from various databases and collected five randomized controlled trials, four comparisons on deciduous molars and one comparison on deciduous incisors. 160 children were included, ranging in age from 3-9 years old. The quantitative analysis showed a significantly lower gingival index of zirconia crowns in the primary molar group and the primary incisor group. The plaque index between two crown treatments groups was -4.51, indicating less accumulation of plaque on zirconia crown. However, the heterogeneity of included trials still need to be considered.
    Conclusion: Zirconia crowns for deciduous teeth had its advantages for gingival health. Although stainless steel crowns were more likely to have plaque deposition and gingival inflammation, zirconia crowns relatively caused the opposite tooth wearing and chipping. Therefore, the comprehensive consideration is important to choose deciduous tooth crown.
