My Favorite Papers of 2012

ResearchBlogging.orgThese are the papers that I thought were the most interesting in my world this year. It was a big year for hormonal messengers involved in obesity and diabetes.  These include Fgf21 (Kim et. al) and VEGF (Hagberg et. al).  From a biochemistry perspective there was a lot of great work on the role of SREBP1 (Moon et. al) and its regulation both from a dietary (Haas et al.) perspective and from a mechanistic perspective (Owen et al.).  Finally both Kim et al. and Kusminski et al. highlighted the importance of mitochondrial function in the systemic response to obesity.



Haas, J., Miao, J., Chanda, D., Wang, Y., Zhao, E., Haas, M., Hirschey, M., Vaitheesvaran, B., Farese, R., Kurland, I., Graham, M., Crooke, R., Foufelle, F., & Biddinger, S. (2012). Hepatic Insulin Signaling Is Required for Obesity-Dependent Expression of SREBP-1c mRNA but Not for Feeding-Dependent Expression Cell Metabolism, 15 (6), 873-884 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2012.05.002

Hagberg, C., Mehlem, A., Falkevall, A., Muhl, L., Fam, B., Ortsäter, H., Scotney, P., Nyqvist, D., Samén, E., Lu, L., Stone-Elander, S., Proietto, J., Andrikopoulos, S., Sjöholm, A., Nash, A., & Eriksson, U.

Kim, K., Jeong, Y., Oh, H., Kim, S., Cho, J., Kim, Y., Kim, S., Kim, D., Hur, K., Kim, H., Ko, T., Han, J., Kim, H., Kim, J., Back, S., Komatsu, M., Chen, H., Chan, D., Konishi, M., Itoh, N., Choi, C., & Lee, M. (2012). Autophagy deficiency leads to protection from obesity and insulin resistance by inducing Fgf21 as a mitokine Nature Medicine DOI: 10.1038/nm.3014

Owen, J., Zhang, Y., Bae, S., Farooqi, M., Liang, G., Hammer, R., Goldstein, J., & Brown, M. (2012).

  4. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My blog has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
