Lack of cyclical fluctuations of endometrial GLUT4 expression in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: Evidence for direct regulation of GLUT4 by steroid hormones
Conclusion We conclude that P4 can induce changes in endometrial GLUT4 expression during the menstrual cycle and that abnormal hormonal conditions such as PCOS disrupt normal patterns of GLUT4 expression in endometrial cells. (Source: BBA Clinical)

Blood levels of serotonin are specifically correlated with plasma lysophosphatidylserine among the glycero-lysophospholipids
Conclusion : We found a specific positive correlation between the blood levels of serotonin and LysoPS, a new lipid mediator. Thus, LysoPS might be specifically involved in strong platelet activation, which is associated with the release of serotonin. General Significance : Our present results suggest the possible involvement of LysoPS in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic diseases. (Source: BBA Clinical)

No evidence of antibodies against GAD65 and other specific antigens in children with autism
Conclusion Using this panel of antigens and a sensitive, robust assay, no evidence of unusual immunoreactivity was detected in children with autism, providing evidence against a role of autoimmunity against several previously implicated proteins in autism spectrum disorder pathogenesis. General significance The idea that autoantibodies represent an underlying cause or are biomarkers for autism pathophysiology is not supported by this report. (Source: BBA Clinical)

Phosphorylation of GSK3α/β correlates with activation of AKT and is prognostic for poor overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia patients
Conclusions These findings suggest AKT-mediated phosphorylation of GSK3α/β may be beneficial to AML cell survival, and hence detrimental to the overall survival of AML patients. Intrinsically, p-GSK3α/β may serve as an important adverse prognostic factor for a subset of AML patients. (Source: BBA Clinical)
