The leptin system plays a crucial role in the regulation of appetite and energy homeostasis in vertebrates. While the phenotype of morbid obesity due to leptin or leptin receptor (lepr) loss of function is well established in mammals, evidence in fish is controversial, questioning the role of leptin as the vertebrate adipostat. Here we report on 3 lepr loss of function (lof) and one leptin loss of function allele in zebrafish. In order to demonstrate that the lepr lof alleles cannot transduce a leptin signal, we measured socs3a transcription after intraperitoneal leptin which is abolished by lepr lof. None of the lepr/lepa lof alleles lead to obesity / a body growth phenotype. We explore possible reasons leading to the difference in published results and find that even slight changes in background genetics such as inbreeding siblings and cousins can lead to significant variance in growth.

With the enactment of the Education System Act no 20 of 2003 (better known as the Sisdiknas Act), the State has determined that educational institutions should have a legal umbrella in the form of a legal entity, or better known as the Legal Entity Education. As a non-profit organization, the Foundation is the right legal entity that becomes a place for educational institutions, especially private schools. Therefore, of course, Notary has a very crucial role in making notary deed in the form of establishment and deed of change, such as example how in making the right basic budget and not multi interpresatasi for stake holders in the foundation. Therefore, the role of function and authority of the organ of the foundation must be clearly stated in the articles of association, so as not to cause a dispute in the future.KEYWORDS: Notaries, Foundation, Organ Foundation,

Microbiological detoxification of hazardous organic pollutants is highly promising, but its reliable implementation requires a sophisticated understanding of several different substrate types and how they interact. This paper carefully defines the substrate types and explains how their interactions affect the bacteria's electron and energy flows, information flow, and degradative activity. For example, primary substrates, which are essential for growth and maintenance of the bacteria, also interact with degradation of specific hazardous pollutants by being inducers, inhibitors, and direct or indirect cosubstrates. The target contaminants, which often are secondary substrates, also have the interactive roles of self-inhibitor, inhibitor of primary-substrate utilization, inducer, and a part of an aggregate primary substrate.
