Unveiling the functional nature of retrogenes in dinoflagellates by Ronie Haro, Renny Lee, Claudio H. Slamovits

“…Additionally, the significant presence of retrogenes linked to specific biological processes involved in symbiosis and toxin production underscores the role of retrogenes in adaptation. The expression profile and codon composition similar to protein-coding genes confirm the operational status of retrogenes and strengthen the idea that retrogenes recapitulate parental gene expression and function. …”

Endothelial function status in hypogonadal men by I. A. Khripun, S. V. Vorobyev

“…The status of endothelial function in men with T2DM and hypogonadism hasn’t been studied.Aims: To assess the effect of hypogonadism on endothelial function in men with T2DM.Materials and methods: Patients underwent clinical studies, assessment of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, the content of sex hormones (total testosterone (T), sex hormones binding globulin, free T, luteinizing hormone) and markers of endothelial function (nitric oxide (NO), endothelial nitric oxide synthase type 3 (eNOS3), endothelin, adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, p- and e-selectins, cadherin), ultrasound examinations of endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDVD) of the brachial artery (BA) and carotid arteries with an assessment of the thickness of intima-media complex (TIM) were performed.Results: The study included 276 men with T2DM (age 54.0[49;60] years), who were divided into 2 groups: 1–124 patients with hypogonadism; 2–152 eugonadal patients. …”
