Objectives: Social jetlag (SJL), the discrepancy between an individual’s inherent circadian rhythm and external social schedule, is associated with obesity. This study aimed to investigate whether SJL also influences body weight and body fat loss during dieting. Methods: This was an observational study from 2015 to 2018 with participants who had joined an exercise and nutrition program at a private personal training gym. Data...

In invertebrates inhabiting hydrothermal vent areas, hypotaurine, a precursor of taurine, is thought to mitigate the toxicity of hydrogen sulfide in vent fluids. Information about hypotaurine synthesis pathways in invertebrates is limited, although two pathways, the cysteamine [2-aminoethanethiol (AET)] pathway and the cysteine sulfinate (CSA) pathway are known in mammals. In this study, we cloned a cDNA encoding AET dioxygena...
