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 ...
Seasonal differences in the intensity of acute phase response in dogs infected with Babesia canis
(Springer, 2022)
The highest number of acute Babesia canis cases in dogs is recorded over the February-May (Feb-May) period, which also represents the optimal climate conditions for tick activity in Belgrade, Serbia. A possibility that the ...
Beneficial effect of walnuts on vascular tone is associated with Akt signalling, voltage-dependent calcium channel LTCC and ATP-sensitive potassium channel Kv1.2
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2020)
Consumption of walnuts is beneficial for cardiovascular health. To study walnut effects on proteins involved in vascular tone regulation, control and fructose-fed rats were subjected to walnut diet for 6 weeks. In contrast ...
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 ...
Characterization of personal solar ultraviolet radiation exposure using detrended fluctuation analysis
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2020)
Studies of personal solar ultraviolet radiation (pUVR) exposure are important to identify populations at-risk of excess and insufficient exposure given the negative and positive health impacts, respectively, of time spent ...
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 ...

(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 ...
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 ...
