PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSES OF THE LEAFHOPPER TRIBE CHIASMINI DISTANT, 1908 AND DELIMINATION OF SPECIES OF THE GENUS EXITIANUS BALL, 1929 (HEMIPTERA: CICADELLIDAE: DELTOCEPHALINAE: CHIASMINI) IN CHINA BASED ON MOLECULAR DATA

Phylogenetic analyses of the leafhopper tribe Chiasmini Distant, 1908 and delimination of species of the genus Exitianus Ball, 1929 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Chiasmini) in China based on molecular data

Previous phylogenetic analyses of the grass-specialist leafhopper tribe Chiasmini have resolved relationships among genera but have included few representatives of individual genera.Here the phylogeny of 20 Chinese species belonging to 8 chiasmine genera was investigated by combining DNA sequence data from two mitochondrial genes (COI, 16S) and two

ANGPTL8 in metabolic homeostasis: more friend than foe?

ANGPTL8 is an important cytokine, which is significantly increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and metabolic syndrome.Many studies have shown that Rolling Pins ANGPTL8 can be used as a bio-marker of these metabolic disorders related diseases, and the baseline ANGPTL8 level has also been found to be positively correlated with retinop
