	abstract = {<p>Peptidyl arginine deiminase IV (PADI4) enzyme catalyzes the citrullination of proteins, which are recognized by anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Here, we determined the association between PADI4 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes with RA susceptibility and clinical characteristics in a western Mexican population. The relationship of PADI4 polymorphisms with anti-CCP and PADI4 mRNA expression was also evaluated. PADI4_89, PADI4_90 and PADI4_92 polymorphisms were individually associated with RA susceptibility. The GTG haplotype was significantly associated with: RA susceptibility; disease onset at \&le; 40 years and anti-CCP antibodies. PADI4 expression was three fold higher in RA patients carrying the susceptibility haplotype (GTG) than in non-susceptibility haplotype carriers (ACC). In conclusion, polymorphisms and functional haplotype (GTG) in PADI4 are associated with RA susceptibility as well as anti-CCP antibodies in a Mexican population. This supports the role of PADI4 early in RA pathogenesis by promoting the generation of citrullinated autoantigens.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Purpose of this study was to evaluate effects on water and food intake when exposed to a variety of foods. 12 Wistar rats were used, six females and 6 males. Three groups were created: Norm-Caloric Group, Hypo-Caloric Group, and Hyper-Caloric Group, each were assigned two females and two males. Experiment was divided in 7 phases. Phases 1, 3, 5, and 7 lasted 10 days. In these phases the norm-caloric group was exposed to a normcaloric diet, the hypo-caloric group to a hypo-caloric diet, and the hyper-caloric group to a hyper-caloric diet. Phases 2, 4, and 6 lasted three days, and all subjects were exposed to three diets simultaneously (Variety of foods). Results showed that subjects in normcaloric and hypo-caloric groups, and also females of the hyper-caloric group, increased their food intake during the exposure periods to the variety of foods, regardless of the type of diet they previously received. However, hyper-caloric group maintained its intake. Evidence shows that when exposed to a variety of foods the rats did not regulate their food or calorie intake.\&nbsp;</p>},
