Comparison of dietary and plasma phospholipid fatty acids between normal weight and overweight black South Africans according to metabolic health: The PURE study
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Background: Information regarding circulating fatty acids (FA) in association with metabolic health in black Africans is scarce, while the usefulness of circulating FAs as biomarkers of dietary fat intake and predictors ...
Applications of statistical physics to study climate phenomena and contribute to overall adaptation efforts
(Iop Publishing Ltd, Bristol, 2020)
This paper provides a brief review of the interesting physics that arises from the use of detrending methods for time series analysis for the study of phenomena related to problems of adaptation to climate change. It ...
Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Fatty Acid Composition and Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 1 in Adult Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Pilot Study
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Objective: Metabolic changes in type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) impair vasodilation, and this leads to tissue hypoxia and microvascular pathology. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can significantly improve the outcome of ...
Effects of high-intensity interval training and nutrition advice on cardiometabolic markers and aerobic fitness in adolescent girls with obesity
(Canadian Science Publishing, Ottawa, 2020)
The aim of the study was to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and nutrition advice on cardiometabolic biomarkers, hormonal parameters, and cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescent girls with ...
Introduction of dynamic rate-of-force development scaling factor in progressive drop jumps
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Rapid force generation across submaximal levels has been evaluated with the rate of force development scaling factor (RFD-SF) in different isometric tasks, while such measurement was still not verified in dynamic tasks. ...
An integrated view on society readiness and initial reaction to COVID-19: A study across European countries
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2020)
With the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the question of society's capability to deal with an acute health crisis is, once again, brought to the forefront. In the core is the need to broaden the perspective on the determinants ...
Modulation of Functional Characteristics of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells by Acellular Preparation of Porcine Hemoglobin
(MDPI, 2022)
Exploring the potential usage of the acellular preparation of porcine hemoglobin (PHb) isolated from slaughterhouse blood as a cell culture media component, we have tested its effects on the functional characteristics of ...
Evidence-based guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS): An update (2014-2018)
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2020)
A group of European experts reappraised the guidelines on the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) previously published in 2014 [Lefaucheur et al., Clin Neurophysiol 2014;125:2150-206]. ...
Vitamin D3 Stimulates Proliferation Capacity, Expression of Pluripotency Markers, and Osteogenesis of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells, Partly through SIRT1 Signaling
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
The biology of vitamin D3 is well defined, as are the effects of its active metabolites on various cells, including mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). However, the biological potential of its precursor, cholecalciferol ...
Recovery of brain cholinesterases and effect on parameters of oxidative stress and apoptosis in quails (Coturnix japonica) after chlorpyrifos and vitamin B1 administration
(Elsevier, 2021)
Chlorpyrifos is a extensively used organophosphate pesticide (OP). In this study, we closely looked into neurotoxicity of CPF and effect of vitamin B1, by checking the levels of cholinesterases, determining the activity ...
