Fish oil supplementation improved liver phospholipids fatty acid composition and parameters of oxidative stress in male wistar rats
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2012)
In the present study, we examined the effects of fish oil supplementation in 3 months old male Wistar rats on changes in plasma and liver lipid metabolism and oxidative stress parameters. Twenty Wistar rats were randomly ...
Relationship between social interaction bids and language in late talking children
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2015)
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between language development and the frequency of social interaction (SI) behaviours during language acquisition in late-talking (LT) children who exhibit delays ...
Self-preferred initial position could be a viable alternative to the standard squat jump testing procedure
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to compare both the magnitude and reliability of different variables (knee angle, squat depth, jump height [Hmax], maximum force [Fmax], and maximum power [Pmax]) between the standardized squat ...
The red wine polyphenol, resveratrol improves hemodynamics, oxidative defence and aortal structure in essential and malignant hypertension
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
Resveratrol the polyphenolic antioxidant molecule has been proposed as an effective agent in the prevention of several pathological conditions, thus this study was aimed to evaluate its chronic effects on functional and ...
Transforming growth factor- (TGF-), matrix metalloproteinases, and urokinase-type plasminogen activator interaction in the cancer epithelial to mesenchymal transition
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2018)
Transforming growth factor- (TGF-) is a pleiotropic factor that acts as a tumor suppressor in the early stages, while it exerts tumor promoting activities in advanced stages of cancer development. One of the hallmarks of ...
Modulation of hepatic inflammation and energy-sensing pathways in the rat liver by high-fructose diet and chronic stress
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2019)
Purpose High-fructose consumption and chronic stress are both associated with metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance. Recently, disturbed activity of energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was recognized ...
Babesia microti infection changes host spleen architecture and is cleared by a Th1 immune response
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018)
Babesia microti is a malaria-like parasite, which infects ~2000 people annually, such that babesiosis is now a notifiable disease in the United States. Immunocompetent individuals often remain asymptomatic and are tested ...
Pain and executive functions: a unique relationship between Stroop task and experimentally induced pain
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2018)
There is a growing body of evidence that a higher level of cognitive inhibition is associated with lower experimental pain sensitivity. However, a systematic examination of the association between executive functions, which ...
Approaches to mimic the complexity of the skeletal mesenchymal stem/stromal cell niche in vitro
(Ao Research Institute Davos-Ari, Davos, 2019)
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are an essential element of most modem tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches due to their multipotency and immunoregulatory functions. Despite the prospective value ...
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and low O-2 concentration (1%) synergize to improve the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (Pre-CFC)
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Low O-2 concentration (1%) favors the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells and inhibits committed progenitors (CFC). Since IL-6 influences both stem cells and committed progenitors at 20% O-2, we studied its effects ...
