This effect of milk on growth has been proposed to be mediated by IGF-I (2), (3). The aim of this double-blinded, controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of milk supplements on circulating IGF-I and to...

The depletion of the microbiota through antibiotic treatment rescued this weight gain. The cohousing of T-Myd88–/– mice transferred the weight gain to wild-type mice. The major feature of the microbiota formed within T-Myd88–/– mice was a reduction in Clostri...

Nature 2019;567:187–193.URL https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-0984-ySummary: Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in the blood that can predict early fatty liver disease were identified, using a proteomic and lipidomic-wide systems genetic approach in 107 genetically distinct mouse strains. In addition, the novel lipid-regulatory protein, PSMD9, was identified as...
