First, elevated serum urate levels commonly precede insulin resistance, T2DM [ 52, 53], and obesity [ 54], which is consistent with hyperuricaemia as a tentative causal factor; second, studies in cell culture and animal models have suggested a causative role for urate in models of the metabolic syndrome.
Among the exocarp-specific contigs was also Pa_22147, a tentative MYB transcription factor gene with the highest similarity to the subgroup 9 of R2R3 MYB genes, known as regulators of epidermal cell differentiation and development.

Using the ISI procedures, BioMed Central has computed a tentative, unofficial impact factor (based on citations of articles published in 2005 and 2006), a very flattering 2.10, placing Environmental Health among the most important journals in the field of environmental health science, despite its youth.
