Fatty acid flux and oxidation are increased by rimonabant in obese women
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, Philadelphia, 2012)
This study aimed to determine in obese women if endocannabinoid receptor antagonism has effects on fatty acid and triglyceride metabolism and insulin sensitivity which are independent from the metabolic effects of weight ...
Estradiol receptors mediate estradiol-induced inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux in rat caudate nucleus and brain stem
(Tubitak Scientific & Technical Research Council Turkey, Ankara, 2015)
Our earlier studies found that in vitro estradiol modulates mitochondrial Ca2+ transport in discrete brain regions. The present study examined the role of estradiol receptors (ERs) in estradiol-induced inhibition of Ca2+ ...
Predictors of survival and cause of death in patients with essential thrombocythemia
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2015)
ObjectivesStandard risk stratification for overall survival (OS) in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) is based on advanced age and history of thrombotic events. Recently, International Prognostic Score for ET ...
EURRECA: development of tools to improve the alignment of micronutrient recommendations
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2010)
Approaches through which reference values for micronutrients are derived, as well as the reference values themselves, vary considerably across countries. Harmonisation is needed to improve nutrition policy and public health ...
Rac1 modulates TGF-beta 1-mediated epithelial cell plasticity and MMP9 production in transformed keratinocytes
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) activates Rac1 GTPase in mouse transformed keratinocytes. Expression of a constitutively active Q61LRac1 mutant induced an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) linked ...
The importance of cardiovascular risk factors for thrombosis prediction in patients with essential thrombocythemia
(Humana Press Inc, Totowa, 2014)
The current widely accepted stratification defined by age and previous thrombosis in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) probably deserves deeper analysis. The aim of our study was to identify additional factors ...
Thermal, morphological, and mechanical properties of ethyl vanillin immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol by electrospinning process
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2014)
In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers with ethyl vanillin as an active compound were prepared using electrospinning technique. The final products of electrospinning process were in the form of nanofibers films. ...
Effects of Polyphenol-Rich Chokeberry Juice on Antioxidant/Pro-Oxidant Status in Healthy Subjects
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, New Rochelle, 2014)
Berry fruits are a rich source of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins: well-known potent anti-oxidant phytochemicals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate beneficial effects of long-term consumption of polyphenol-rich ...
Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and off-phase motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate cortical excitability and activation and consequently may affect clinical symptoms in neurological conditions characterized by altered motor cortex functions. ...
Prioritizing micronutrients for the purpose of reviewing their requirements: a protocol developed by EURRECA
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2010)
Background: The EURRECA (EURopean micronutrient RECommendations Aligned) Network of Excellence (http://www.eurreca.org) is working towards the development of aligned recommendations. A protocol was required to assign ...
