Jump training with different loads: effects on jumping performance and power output
(Springer, New York, 2013)
To investigate the selective effects of different types of external loads applied in vertical jump training on both the performance and muscle power output of the squat (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ). Physically active ...
Bioactive-rich Sideritis scardica tea (mountain tea) is as potent as Camellia sinensis tea at inducing cellular antioxidant defences and preventing oxidative stress
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
BACKGROUNDIn several countries, tea (hot-water infusions of dried Camellia sinensis (CS) leaves) is a major source of antioxidant flavonoids, and its consumption has been associated with several favourable outcomes. Other ...
Mapping low intake of micronutrients across Europe
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2013)
Achieving an understanding of the extent of micronutrient adequacy across Europe is a major challenge. The main objective of the present study was to collect and evaluate the prevalence of low micronutrient intakes of ...
Antioxidant and Antihypertensive Activity of Extract from Thymus serpyllum L. in Experimental Hypertension
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2013)
The low incidence of cardiovascular disease in Mediterranean countries leads to an increased interest of the scientific community for the Mediterranean diet. Our aim was to evaluate total phenol and flavonoid contents, ...
Micronutrient intake and status in Central and Eastern Europe compared with other European countries, results from the EURRECA network
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2013)
Objective: To compare micronutrient intakes and status in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) with those in other European countries and with reference values. Design: Review of the micronutrient intake/status data from open ...
Lack of effect of bioactive-rich extracts of pomegranate, persimmon, nettle, dill, kale and Sideritis and isolated bioactives on platelet function
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
BACKGROUNDThe health benefits of fruit and vegetable-rich diets may be partly due to modulation of platelet activity by bioactive phytochemicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bioactive-rich plant ...
Globin gene expression in correlation with G protein-related genes during erythroid differentiation
(Biomed Central Ltd, London, 2013)
Background: The guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. G proteins are also implicated in erythroid differentiation, and some of ...
Coordinated time-dependent modulation of AMPK/Akt/mTOR signaling and autophagy controls osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2013)
We investigated the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), autophagy and their interplay in osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells. The ...
Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Mediates the Effect of Ethanol on IgA
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2013)
Aims: We showed previously that the acute effect of ethanol on intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA) expression might be mediated by endogenous nitric oxide (NO). To extend these findings, this study was designed to investigate ...
Resveratrol loaded liposomes produced by different techniques
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Several different methods for production of liposomes incorporating resveratrol were investigated and compared from the aspect of size distribution, surface charge, entrapment efficiency, phase behavior and stability. Thin ...
