Excesive consumption of unsaturated fatty acids leads to oxidative and inflammatory instability in Wistar rats
(Elsevier, 2021)
Lifestyle modifications such as increase in high-fat food consumption importantly increases the risks for cardiovascular disease. The principal objective of this study is to analyze effects of different high fat diet (HFD) ...
Is Inhibitory Control Related to Conflict in Reasoning: A Preliminary Study
(Studia Psychologica, 2021)
The purpose of this study was to test a belief-bias effect on reasoning in relation to inhibitory control functions and whether inhibition would be activated on conflict syllogisms. A total of 85 university students (78 % ...
Systematic Bioinformatic Analyses of Nutrigenomic Modifications by Polyphenols Associated with Cardiometabolic Health in Humans—Evidence from Targeted Nutrigenomic Studies
(MDPI, 2021)
Cardiometabolic disorders are among the leading causes of mortality in the human population. Dietary polyphenols exert beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health in humans. Molecular mechanisms, however, are not completely ...
Neurophysiological Predictors of Response to Medication in Parkinson's Disease
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
Background: Although dopaminergic medication has been the foundation of Parkinson's disease (PD) therapy for decades, sensitive and specific therapeutic response biomarkers that allow for better treatment optimization are ...
Multitrait Multimethod validation of Implicit Association Test as a measure of individual differences in personality: Is there personality at all?
(Elsevier, 2021)
The objective of the study was to investigate the validity of IAT in the assessment of the Big five personality traits. We employed the Multi-Trait Multi-Method (MTMM) approach on a sample of 146 respondents. We collected ...
Nutrigenomic modification induced by anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract in the hippocampus of ApoE-/- mice
(Elsevier, 2021)
Dietary anthocyanins may slow cognitive decline, improve cognitive performance and exert neuroprotective effects against neurodegenerative disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms of their action are not fully understood. ...
Exploring rural hospital admissions for diarrhoeal disease, malaria, pneumonia, and asthma in relation to temperature, rainfall and air pollution using wavelet transform analysis
(Elsevier, 2021)
Background:Climate variables impact human health and in an era of climate change, there is a pressing need to understand these relationships to best inform how such impacts are likely to change.ObjectivesThis study sought ...
Classification of time series of temperature variations from climatically homogeneous regions based on long-term persistence
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2021)
We used detrended methods for scaling analysis (DFA2 and DMA) and wavelet transform spectral analysis (WTS) to characterize long-term persistence (LTP) properties of temperature anomalies time series from observational ...
BMP2 downregulates urokinase-type plasminogen activator via p38 MAPK: Implications in C2C12 cells myogenic differentiation
(Elsevier, 2021)
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)2 strongly affects the differentiation program of myoblast cells by inhibiting myogenesis and inducing osteogenic differentiation. In turn, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteinases, such as ...
Resveratrol Protects Cardiac Tissue in Experimental Malignant Hypertension Due to Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Anti-Apoptotic Properties
(MDPI, 2021)
Hypertension is one of the most prevalent and powerful contributors of cardiovascular diseases. Malignant hypertension is a relatively rare but extremely severe form of hypertension accompanied with heart, brain, and renal ...
