Abstract: The present invention is directed to a coating composition comprising a film-forming binder; and a corrosion inhibitor comprising at least one of morpholines, monosulfides, and/or piperazines. The present invention is also directed to coatings, coated metal substrates, multi-layered coated metal substrates, and methods of coating substrates.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a coating composition comprising a film-forming binder, and a corrosion inhibitor comprising a polysulfide corrosion inhibitor, wherein the polysulfide corrosion inhibitor has a passive window value measured as a solution over a substrate greater than the passive window value of a solution without the corrosion inhibitor tested over the same substrate, as measured according to the PASSIVE WINDOW TEST METHOD, and the poly sulfide corrosion inhibitor has a polarization resistance (Rp) measured as a solution over a substrate greater than the polarization resistance (Rp) of a solution without the corrosion inhibitor tested over the same substrate, as measured according to the LINEAR POLARIZATION RESISTANCE TEST METHOD.

Abstract: Systems and methods to assess insulin resistance are described. Further, compounds and methods for treatment of insulin resistance or hyperglycemia are described. In some instances, immunoglobins of an individual are utilized in an insulin-stimulated mitochondrial function assay, which can be utilized to determine insulin resistance. In some instances, glycosylation, including sialylation, of immunoglobins of an individual are assessed, which can be utilized to assess insulin resistance. In some instances, immunoglobins, such as immunoglobin G, are utilized as a treatment for insulin resistance or hyperglycemia.

Abstract: A method of screening for a protein involved in the extracellular regulation of latent TGF? activation by transducing a cell line with a retroviral cDNA library to create a reporter cell line that produces green fluorescent protein (GFP) in response to TGF-? signaling; growing individual clones created by the reporter cell line; co-culturing each individual clone with a second TGF-? reporter cell line that produces luciferase in response to TGF-?, wherein the luciferase production identifies positive clones; and identifying a mechanism of latent TGF-? activation that is employed by the positive clones. A TGF? reporter cell line including a cell line; and a retroviral cDNA library, wherein the reporter cell line produces GFP in response to TGF-? signaling. A method of screening for gene products involved in a biological process.
