Fatty acid metabolism in the liver, measured by positron emission tomography, is increased in obese individuals

…, MJ Järvisalo, J Kiss, L Guiducci, B Fielding, AG Naum… - Gastroenterology, 2010 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatic lipotoxicity results from and contributes to obesity-related
disorders. It is a challenge to study human metabolism of fatty acids (FAs) in the liver. We …

Refractive index and dispersion of beta silicon carbide

PTB Shaffer, RG Naum - JOSA, 1969 - opg.optica.org
