SuDS DNA citiesClimateScan is an open source interactive web-based map application for international knowledge exchange on 'blue-green' (BGI) / NBS / SUDS projects around the globe. Key objectives include urban resilience, climate proofing and climate adaptation. Between 2014 and 2017 (Boogaard et al …

Nederland is een land van sportverenigingen. In bijna geen enkel ander Europees land zijn er zoveel sportverenigingen, en zoveel vrijwilligers, als in ons kikkerlandje (1). Die traditie van sporten bij een vereniging is een groot goed. Dat stimuleert niet alleen het deelnemen aan sport, maar bij de vereniging …

''There is a clear demand for a collaborative knowledge-sharing on climate adaptation and mitigation. As a consequence of urban expansion, green spaces are lost and the available areas for pervious green areas are decreasing. Many cities will experience greater impacts from flooding and heatstress due …

Both exercise training and a lifestyle-intervention program increase UCP3 protein content inskeletal muscle of subjects with reduced glycaemic control, indicating a restoration towards normal UCP3 levels. These data support the idea that UCP3 has a role in the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Muscle fiber-type specific expression of UCP3-protein is reported here for the firts time, using immunofluorescence microscopy

Recently, a role for uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) in carbohydrate metabolism and in type 2 diabetes has been suggested. Mice overexpressing UCP3 in skeletal muscle showed reduced fasting plasma glucose levels, improved glucose tolerance after an oral glucose load, and reduced fasting plasma insulin levels. …

Immunofluorescence microscopy in this study shows that GLUT-4 protein expression is fibre-type specific within a muscle. It is postulated that both fibre-type-dependent and fibre-type-independent factors affect GLUT-4 expression.
