Rhythmic expressions of metabolic detoxification genes, GSTs1 and CYP397A1 displayed similar expression patterns with total GST and P450 enzyme activities in LD and DD conditions, respectively.
Here, we report, first, circadian expression of clock genes in the lateral habenula (LHb) under constant darkness (DD) condition in wild-type mice which is disturbed in double Per1<sup>-/-</sup>-Per2<sup>Brdm1</sup> clock-mutant mice.
DD+ patients demonstrated higher levels of carboxyl-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I (P = .04), and trends toward higher interleukin-6 and oxidized low-density lipoprotein levels (P ≤ .08).

Our systematic study of dynamical decoupling (DD) as a function of temperature (at 40, 80 K and RT), spin concentration, deuteration of nitroxide and/or OTP matrix and DD scheme for 1 to 5 refocusing pulses reveals that DD significantly prolongs phase memory times with respect to Hahn echo relaxation at 40 K, which we discuss in an SSE framework.
Transcript levels of Per1a and Per3 genes showed circadian rhythmic changes under both LL and DD conditions, while those of Cry genes were controlled by light.
However, in vivo, peak expression of per2 and cry1 was shifted 2-4h earlier under DD conditions, and their expression was upregulated in response to short exposures to light when larvae were kept under DD conditions.
Using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in an in vitro chondrogenesis assay, we found that knockdown of the diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) sulfate transporter (DTDST, also known as SLC26A2), which is required for normal cartilage development, blocked cell condensation and caused a significant reduction in fibronectin matrix.
Furthermore, stratification of the ALS samples showed that this variation was not associated with increased age of onset in ND and DD patients in comparison to NN patients (p=0.48).

Analysis of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in dermal fibroblasts showed markedly decreased 6-O-sulfation but enhanced 4-O-sulfation, confirming functional impairment of CHST3 and distinguishing them from diastrophic dysplasia sulphate transporter (DTDST)-deficient cells.
Ten CNR1 markers and 38 ancestry-informative markers were genotyped in 451 healthy control subjects and 550 SD (AD and/or DD) patients (including European Americans [EAs] and African Americans [AAs]).
Patients with the DD allele (group DD) of ACE gene polymorphism had (1) significantly elevated mean 5-y intact parathyroid hormone levels when compared with the non-DD group (P=.009), and (2) significantly elevated oral and intravenous 5-y cumulative doses of vitamin D. Oral and intravenous 5-y cumulative doses of vitamin D used in group DD patients were significantly higher than those in group I patients (P=.038 and P=.037, respectively).
Two sulfation-related genes have been reported as the causal genes of severe chondrodysplasias: mutations in PAPSS2 (3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase 2) cause spondylo-epimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD), and mutations in SLC26A2 (solute carrier family 26, member 2) cause diastrophic dysplasia.
In addition to sat-1 and prestin, which were cloned from rat and gerbil, respectively, three human members have been identified and associated with specific genetic diseases (DTD, diastrophic dysplasia; CLD, congenital chloride diarrhea; PDS, Pendred syndrome).
A significant positive correlation coefficient between the SBP and logUAE slopes was observed for the DD patients (r=0.57, P<0.0001) but was absent in patients carrying the I allele (II r=-0.03, P=NS; I/D r=0.01, P=NS).
