Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 75% of glucose disposal in body and statins
impair glucose metabolism. We aimed to investigate the effect of atorvastatin on glucose …

Visualizing cholesterol (CL) fluctuation in plasma membranes is a crucially important yet
challenging task in cell biology. Here, we proposed a new imaging strategy based on …

Cutaneous melanoma is a cancer with a very poor prognosis mainly because of metastatic
dissemination and therefore a deregulation of cell migration. Current therapies can benefit …

Cholesterol is vital to control membrane integrity and fluidity, but is also a precursor to

The objective was to evaluate the effect of adding different concentrations of cholesterol
carried by cyclodextrin (CCC) on frozen ovine sperm. Two ejaculates were collected from 10 …

Insulin resistance is a condition characterized by the inability of insulin to stimulate glucose
uptake in skeletal muscle. This can lead to serious diseases such as metabolic syndrome …
