Novel application of gamification to support undergraduate anatomy: Student perceptions and performance

Emanuel M. Berger, Jacqueline Carnegie, Christopher J. Ramnanan

Anatomy is a foundational component of various medical and paramedical disciplines. Existing research has suggested that games or game elements can improve student interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) anatomy. This project builds on previous gamification and serious game work and incorporates new anatomy-based …

Integration of metabolic flux with hepatic glucagon signaling and gene expression profiles in the conscious dog

Katie C. Coate, Christopher J. Ramnanan, Marta S. Smith, Jason J. Winnick et autres

Glucagon rapidly stimulates hepatic glucose production, but these effects are transient. This study links the molecular and metabolic flux changes that occur in the liver over time in response to a rise in glucagon, demonstrating the strength of the dog as a …

Integration of metabolic flux with hepatic glucagon signaling and gene expression profiles in the conscious dog

Katie C. Coate, Christopher J. Ramnanan, Marta S. Smith, Jason J. Winnick et autres

Glucagon rapidly and profoundly simulates hepatic glucose production (HGP), but for reasons which are unclear, this effect normally wanes after a few hours, despite sustained plasma glucagon levels. This study characterized the time course and relevance (to metabolic flux) of glucagon mediated …
