Does dietary Silicon Deficiency Exacerbate Diet-Induced Fatty Lesions in Female ApoE Knockout Mice?
These findings suggest that dietary silicon has no effect on atherosclerosis development and vascular health in the apoE mouse model of diet-induced atherosclerosis, contrary to the reported findings in the cholesterol-fed rabbit model.
These results suggest that trigeminal neurons play an important role in the differentiation of corneal epithelial cells. Neuropeptides released from these neurons may thus regulate adhesion between corneal epithelial cells and thereby contribute to the establishment and maintenance of corneal structure and function.
