Intestinal epithelium are generated by intestinal stem cells, which are recognized morphologically as slender columnar cells at the base of the crypt. Stem cells produce transit-amplifying (TA) cells,
The relative contribution of hZnT1, mMt-I or hZnT4 re-expression in ZnT1−/−MT−/−ZnT4−/− cells against zinc toxicity was determined by counting the number of cells after 72 h exposure to the indicated
Glucagon supports glucose homeostasis by stimulating hepatic gluconeogenesis, in part by promoting the uptake and conversion of amino acids into gluconeogenic precursors. Genetic disruption or pharmac
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, and functions as a cofactor for hundreds of transcription factors and enzymes in numerous biological processes. Zinc deficiency is
