METABOLIC HEALTH AND ADIPOSITY TRANSITIONS AND RISKS OF TYPE 2 DIABETES AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Metabolic health and adiposity transitions and risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Metabolic health status and levels of adiposity are prone to change over time.Mixed results have been reported regarding the extent by which changes in metabolic health and weight affect cardiometabolic risks.This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to examine the association between transitions in metabolic health and adip

Functional analysis of the interdependence between DNA uptake sequence and its cognate ComP receptor during natural transformation in Neisseria species.

Natural transformation is the widespread biological process by which "competent" bacteria take up free DNA, incorporate it into their genomes, and become genetically altered or "transformed".To curb often deleterious transformation by foreign DNA, several competent species preferentially take up their own DNA that contains specific DUS (DNA uptake
