Blockade of nitric oxide formation modulates intestinal IgA
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2008)
Revision of the world Monoctonia Stary, parasitoids of gall aphids: taxonomy, distribution, host range, and phylogeny (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Aphidiinae)
(Magnolia Press, Auckland, 2015)
The present paper represents a contribution to the knowledge of the taxonomy of Monoctonia Stary aphid parasitoids obtained using the barcoding region of the mitochondrial COI gene. We discuss the phylogenetic position of ...
Allozyme polymorphism of Mdh and alpha-Gpdh in Ixodes ricinus populations: comparison of borreliae-infected and uninfected ticks
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2006)
Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks are vectors of numerous infectious diseases in humans and animals. The allozyme variability of MDH and alpha-Gpdh was detected by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ...
Changes in movement kinematics during single-joint movements against expectedly and unexpectedly changed inertial loads
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1999)
The study had two goals: (1) to understand the role of peripheral and central factors in changes in the movement symmetry ratio (acceleration time divided by deceleration time); and (2) to compare several theories of motor ...
Changes in movement variables associated with transient overshoot of the final position
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2000)
Transient overshoot (TO), which is assessed as the distance between the movement amplitude and the final position, was measured in a series of rapid, discrete elbow flexion movements performed under different distance and ...
Lower Serum Paraoxonase-1 Activity Is Related to Linoleic and Docosahexanoic Fatty Acids in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2012)
Background. Serum paraoxonase-1(PON-1) activity is decreased in clinical conditions associated with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), increased lipid peroxidation and low-grade chronic inflammation, as in ...
The metabolic syndrome, an epidemic among HIV-infected patients on HAART
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2009)
Background: HAART has dramatically changed the prognosis of AIDS, but has led to long-term toxicities of antiretroviral drugs. A major chronic complication is the metabolic syndrome (MS), including hyperlipidemia, lipodystrophy ...
The dissociation between virological and immunological responses to HAART
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2005)
While HAART allows for the reconstitution- of immune functions in most treated HIV patients, discrepant responses including failure to achieve a significant increase in circulating CD4+ T cells despite undetectable plasma ...
