Reduction in cardiolipin reduces expression of creatine transporter-1 and creatine transport in growing hCMEC/D3 human brain microvessel endothelial cells

The phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) regulates mitochondrial energy production.Endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) play a vital role in uptake of metabolites into the brain and are enriched in mitochondria.We examined how deficiency in BBB endothelial cell CL regulates the expression of selected drug and metabolite transporters and thei

Genetic Population Structure of Wild Pigs in Southern Texas

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) alter ecosystems, affect the economy, and carry diseases that can be transmitted to livestock, humans, and wildlife.Understanding wild pig movements and population structure data, including natural population boundaries and dispersal, may potentially increase the efficiency and effectiveness of management actions.We trapped,
