Unfavourable plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid fatty acid profile in elite amateur boxers
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2013)
Research on possible physiological changes as a consequence of a specific lifestyle and long-term strenuous exercise in boxing has been sparse. We determined plasma and erythrocyte phospholipid (PL) fatty acids (FA) profile ...

An Overview of Interleukin-17A and Interleukin-17 Receptor A Structure, Interaction and Signaling
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2015)
Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) and its receptor (IL-17RA) are prototype members of IL-17 ligand/receptor family firstly identified in CD4(+) T cells, which comprises six ligands (IL-17A to IL-17F) and five receptors (IL-17RA to ...
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 ...
