It has recently been shown that localized F-actin remodeling is a requisite for the normal biphasic pattern of nutrient-stimulated insulin secretion.
In doing so, we were able to identify an altered pattern of nutrients that associates with compromised fetal kidney microvascular development.
Hence, to our knowledge, no study has related maternal PEM to a pattern of nutrients in the fetal compartment that may account, in part, for physiological programming of fetal kidney development and function in later life.
However, due to a lack of available biofluids, we were unable to directly attribute our fetal and subsequent adult phenotype to any specific change in the pattern of nutrients in either the maternal or fetal compartments.
Ecological resilience, also called ecological robustness, the ability of an ecosystem to maintain its normal patterns of nutrient cycling and biomass production after being subjected to damage caused by an ecological disturbance.
More specifically, measures that strengthen an ecosystem's ecological resilience (i.e., an ecosystem's ability to maintain its normal patterns of nutrient cycling and biomass production), combined with measures that emphasize prevention and mitigation, have been used.
This study investigated patterns of nutrient pollution in waterbody types across Greater London.
