Summary

Obesity and type 2 diabetes (diabesity) are linked to low testosterone and hypogonadism. Reversible hypogonadism can improve with weight loss, while testosterone therapy aids body composition and insulin resistance.

Intraperitoneal Glucose Tolerance Test, Measurement of Lung Function, and Fixation of the Lung to Study the Impact of Obesity and Impaired Metabolism on Pulmonary Outcomes

The incidence of obesity is rising and increases the risk of chronic lung diseases. To establish the underlying mechanisms and preventive strategies, well-defined animal models are needed. Here, we provide three methods (glucose-tolerance-test, body plethysmography, and lung fixation) to study the effect of obesity on pulmonary outcomes in...

Sebolai11Department of Microbiology and Biochemistry, University of the Free State.The video demonstrates a technique for evaluating the influence of photodynamic treatment (PDT) with a photosensitizer on the metabolic activity of murine macrophages. The cells undergo treatment with the photosensitizer followed by exposure to UV light, initiating PDT. This process triggers the photosensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species...

Impact of Groups on Groups

Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

Impact01:30

Impact

Impact occurs when two bodies collide, leading to the application of impulsive forces between them. Analyzing impact mechanics involves considering two colliding particles moving along a line known as the line of impact, which passes through their centers and is perpendicular to the contact plane.
When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...
