Effect of n-3 fatty acids on nutritional status and inflammatory markers in haemodialysis patients
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Aims: Nutrition as an aetiological factor participates a great deal in premature atherosclerosis in haemodialysis (HD) patients. The basic mechanisms of end-stage renal disease and premature atherosclerosis are connected ...
Low O-2 concentrations enhance the positive effect of IL-17 on the maintenance of erythroid progenitors during co-culture of CD34+and mesenchymal stem cells
(John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, Montrouge, 2009)
Co-culture of haematopoietic cells with a stromal cell layer does not mimic the physiological, micro-environmental niche, whose major feature is a low oxygen (O-2) concentration. Thus, in order to study the effects of IL-17 ...
Systematic review using meta-analyses to estimate dose-response relationships between iodine intake and biomarkers of iodine status in different population groups
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, Cary, 2014)
The objective of this systematic review was to identify studies investigating iodine intake and biomarkers of iodine status, to assess the data of the selected studies, and to estimate dose-response relationships using ...
First Detection of Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle & Manceaux, 1908) (Eucoccidiorida: Sarcocystidae) in River Waters in Serbia
(Inst Zoology, Bas, Sofia, 2020)
Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most successful parasites in the world. Its life form found in the environment, where it may stay viable for a year or more, is the oocyst, excreted by members of the family Felidae as the ...
Differences in the relationship of specificity to titre and functional affinity between circulating Ga- and pan-reactive IgM rheumatoid factors in rheumatoid arthritis
(Oxford University Press, 2004)
Objective. To determine if there are the differences in titre and functional affinity for immunoglobulin (Ig) G subclasses and glycoforms between the Ga- and pan-specific IgM rheumatoid factors (RFs) present in the sera ...
p38 MAPK signaling mediates IL-17-induced nitric oxide synthase expression in bone marrow cells
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2009)
The effects of interleukin (IL)-17 on nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) expression, as well as the participation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in IL-17-mediated effects were examined in murine bone marrow ...
Effects of short-term magnesium supplementation on ionized, total magnesium and other relevant electrolytes levels
(Springer Nature, 2022)
This study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of three magnesium (Mg) dietary supplements containing mineral immediately available for absorption on Mg biochemical status indices (ionized and total Mg), as well ...
A Comparison of Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure in Urban Canyons in Venice, Italy and Johannesburg, South Africa
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
Urban environments can have high-risk spaces that can provide excess personal sun exposure, such as urban or street canyons, and the spaces between buildings, among others. In these urban spaces, sun exposure can be high ...
Impact of COVID-19 confinement on eating behaviours across 16 European countries: The COVIDiet cross-national study
(Elsevier, 2021)
We aimed to evaluate the changes in eating behaviours of the adult population across 16 European countries due to the COVID-19 confinement and to evaluate whether these changes were somehow related to the severity of the ...
Syphacia obvelata modifies mitogen-activated protein kinases and nitric oxide synthases expression in murine bone marrow cells
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2010)
Syphacia obvelata is a rodent nematode parasite with high prevalence in laboratory mice. In our previous work we have demonstrated that this gut-dwelling helminth induces significant hematopoietic changes, characterized ...
