Are hepatic leptin signalling and subdiaphragmatic vagal efferents required for leptin-induced increases of plasma IGF binding protein-2 ( IGFBP-2 ) in ob/ob mice?
Taken together, these data indicate that hepatic leptin signalling and subdiaphragmatic vagal inputs are not required for leptin upregulation of plasma IGFBP-2 nor blood glucose lowering in ob/ob mice.
An immunization measure based on timeliness of administration yields both absolute and relative differences in MCO childhood immunization performance when compared with HEDIS rates. By assessing delivery of each component vaccination, the IDEA score permits more detailed analysis of immunization patterns within an MCO and focuses improvement efforts.
