Abstract Trait-based analyses have shown great potential to advance our understanding of terrestrial ecosystem processes and functions.However, challenges remain in adequately synthesising a multidimensional and covarying trait space.Reducing the number of studied traits while identifying the most informative ones is increasingly recognized as a pr

Non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) is a benign tumor arising from the adenohypophyseal cells.They can be associated with symptoms arising from mass effect.Although these tumors are regarded to be benign tumors, they are associated with increased comorbidity and mortality.Several studies have indicated abnormal expression of genes in these tum

Studies of fatty acid (FA) esterification by adipocytes have led to conflicting views with respect to how the process is regulated by norepinephrine (NE).It remains unclear whether NE directly modulates the pathway or whether its effects are indirect and reflect its well-known action to activate lipolysis.Changes in lipolysis can complicate estimat
