Classification of time series of temperature variations from climatically homogeneous regions based on long-term persistence
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2021)
We used detrended methods for scaling analysis (DFA2 and DMA) and wavelet transform spectral analysis (WTS) to characterize long-term persistence (LTP) properties of temperature anomalies time series from observational ...
BMP2 downregulates urokinase-type plasminogen activator via p38 MAPK: Implications in C2C12 cells myogenic differentiation
(Elsevier, 2021)
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)2 strongly affects the differentiation program of myoblast cells by inhibiting myogenesis and inducing osteogenic differentiation. In turn, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteinases, such as ...
Multitrait Multimethod validation of Implicit Association Test as a measure of individual differences in personality: Is there personality at all?
(Elsevier, 2021)
The objective of the study was to investigate the validity of IAT in the assessment of the Big five personality traits. We employed the Multi-Trait Multi-Method (MTMM) approach on a sample of 146 respondents. We collected ...
Fructose-rich diet and walnut supplementation differently regulate rat hypothalamic and hippocampal glucose transporters expression
(Wiley, 2021)
BACKGROUND: Nutritional modulations may be considered a strategy to protect mental health. Neuronal homeostasis is highly dependent on the availability of glucose, which represents the primary energy source for the brain. ...
Mucoadhesive buccal tablets with propranolol hydrochloride: Formulation development and in vivo performances in experimental essential hypertension
(Elsevier, 2021)
The objective of this study was to formulate extended-release mucoadhesive buccal tablets of propranolol hydrochloride in order to provide a prolonged absorption of propranolol hydrochloride from the buccal mucosa and to ...
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 ...
Molecular Determinants of the Cardiometabolic Improvements of Dietary Flavanols Identified by an Integrative Analysis of Nutrigenomic Data from a Systematic Review of Animal Studies
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)
Scope: Flavanols are important polyphenols of the human diet with extensive demonstrations of their beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health. They contribute to preserve health acting on a large range of cellular ...
Experimental infection with Toxoplasma gondii in broiler chickens (Gallus domesticus): seroconversion, tissue cyst distribution, and prophylaxis
(Springer, New York, 2021)
Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread zoonotic protozoan that infects most species of mammals and birds, including poultry. This study aimed to investigate the course of T. gondii infection and the efficacy of diclazuril and ...
DNA, protein and lipid oxidative damage in tissues of spontaneously hypertensive versus normotensive rats
(Elsevier, 2021)
Oxidative damage to protein and lipid macromolecules in target organs in hypertension has been recognized as a major factor contributing to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal diseases. Data on protein and lipid ...
Exploring rural hospital admissions for diarrhoeal disease, malaria, pneumonia, and asthma in relation to temperature, rainfall and air pollution using wavelet transform analysis
(Elsevier, 2021)
Background:Climate variables impact human health and in an era of climate change, there is a pressing need to understand these relationships to best inform how such impacts are likely to change.ObjectivesThis study sought ...
