The CODATwins Project: The Cohort Description of Collaborative Project of Development of Anthropometrical Measures in Twins to Study Macro-Environmental Variation in Genetic and Environmental Effects on Anthropometric Traits
(2015-05-27)
For over 100 years, the genetics of human anthropometric traits has attracted scientific interest. In particular,
height and body mass index (BMI, calculated as kg/m2) have been under intensive genetic research.
However, ...
Genetic and environmental effects on body mass index from infancy to the onset of adulthood: an individual-based pooled analysis of 45 twin cohorts participating in the COllaborative project of Development of Anthropometrical measures in Twins (CODATwins) study
(Elsevier, 2016-07-13)
Background: Both genetic and environmental factors are known to affect body mass index (BMI), but detailed understanding of how their effects differ during childhood and adolescence is lacking. Objectives: We analyzed the ...
Enantioselective Construction of Tetrasubstituted Stereogenic Carbons through Brønsted Base Catalyzed Michael Reactions: α´-Hydroxy Enones as Key Enoate Equivalent
(ACS, 2014-11-25)
Catalytic and asymmetric Michael reactions constitute very powerful tools for the construction of new C–C bonds in synthesis, but most of the reports claiming high selectivity are limited to some specific combinations of ...
Asymmetric Synthesis of Adjacent Tri- and Tetrasubstituted Carbon Stereocenters: Organocatalytic Aldol Reaction of an Hydantoin Surrogate with Azaarene 2-Carbaldehydes
(Wiley-VCH, 2019-07-18)
A bifunctional amine/squaramide catalyst promoted direct aldol addition of an hydantoin surrogate to pyridine 2-carbaldehyde N-oxides to afford adducts bearing two vicinal tertiary/quaternary carbons in high diastereo- and ...
Enantioselective Addition of Alkynyl Ketones to Nitroolefins Assisted by Bronsted Base/H-Bonding Catalysis
(Wiley, 2019-03-21)
Various sets of enolizable alkynyl ketones (including methyl ynones with α-aryl, α-alkenyl, and α-alkoxy groups) were able to react smoothly with nitroolefins with the assistance of bifunctional Brønsted base/H-bond catalysts ...
α-Hydroxy Ketones as Masked Ester Donors in Brønsted Base-Catalyzed Conjugate Additions to Nitroalkenes
(ChemPubSoc Europe, 2018-02-15)
The Genetic Background of Metabolic Trait Clusters in Children and Adolescents
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017)
Background: It is well known that metabolic risk factors of cardiovascular diseases are correlated, but the
background of this clustering in children is more poorly known than in adults. Thus, we studied the contribution
of ...
Acute toxicity of zinc and arsenic to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi as compared to its coldwater counterpart Tubifex tubifex (Annelida, Clitellata)
(Springer, 2016-07-12)
Purpose This study aimed at evaluating the acute effects of arsenic and zinc to the warmwater aquatic oligochaete Branchiura sowerbyi. Relative sensitivity with the coldwater species Tubifex tubifex was compared. Implications ...
Association between birth weight and educational attainment: an individual-based pooled analysis of nine twin cohorts
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-05-30)
Background There is evidence that birth weight is
positively associated with education, but it remains
unclear whether this association is explained by familial
environmental factors, genetic factors or the intrauteri ...
