Chokeberry Juice Containing Polyphenols Does Not Affect Cholesterol or Blood Pressure but Modifies the Composition of Plasma Phospholipids Fatty Acids in Individuals at Cardiovascular Risk
(MDPI, Basel, 2019)
Chokeberry polyphenols have been suggested to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure and thus protect against cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but the evidence in humans is limited and inconsistent. This randomized double-blinded ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is an endogenous regulator of stress-induced extramedullary erythropoiesis
(Springer, New York, 2016)
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is a well-known proinflammatory cytokine that is released during systemic stress response. Although MIF can affect erythrocyte production, the role of this cytokine in stress-induced ...
Impact of UV radiation and temperature on the spongy moth and the brown-tail moth in Serbia
(Osterreichischer Agrarverlag GmbH, 2023)
The impact of climate change on insect pests is an emerging topic in forestry and forest science. This study investigates the relationships between two broadleaved forest pests – spongy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) and ...
Trans fatty acid content in Serbian margarines: Urgent need for legislative changes and consumer information
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
This study examined the fatty acid (FA) composition of 13 (7 soft and 6 hard) Serbian margarines. Significantly higher amounts of trans fatty acids (TFA) were found in hard margarines (up to 28.84% of total FA), than in ...

(Univerzitet u Nišu - Medicinski fakultet, Niš, 2012)
The aim of the present paper was to investigate the serum concentration of total phospholipids and distribution of the phospholipid classes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and dyslipidemia. We analyzed the serum ...
Novel Patents and Cancer Therapies for Transforming Growth Factor-Beta and Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator: Potential Use of Their Interplay in Tumorigenesis
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2014)
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) plays different roles in health and disease. TGF-beta has been assumed as a dual factor in tumor growth, since it can repress epithelial tumor development in early stages, while ...
