    J Dent Res 82:491-4. 2003
    ..These results suggested that food texture affected energy metabolism by changing post-prandial thermogenesis. The long-term deficiency of thermogenesis associated with soft foods resulted in a greater tendency toward obesity...

    T Hori
    Department of Integrative Physiology, Kyushu University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Fukuoka 812 8582, Japan
    Ann N Y Acad Sci 917:106-20. 2000
    ..The switching of nociception from hyperalgesia to analgesia accompanied by sickness symptoms may reflect changes in the host's strategy for fighting microbial invasion as the disease progresses...

    Department of Cell Biology and Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA
    Atherosclerosis 145:239-51. 1999
    ..Although the primary role of VLDLR in heart, muscle and adipose tissue is likely in lipid metabolism, developmental pattern of this receptor in other tissues suggests that VLDLR has functions that are unrelated to lipid metabolism...
