Science constantly seeks to identify new molecules that could be used as dietary functional ingredients in the fight against obesity and its co-morbidities. Among them, polyphenols represent a group of molecules of increasing ...
Theoretical and perceived balance of power inside Spanish public hospitals
(BioMed Central, 2011-09)
Background: The hierarchical pyramid inside Spanish public hospitals was radically changed by the Health Reform Law promulgated in 1986. According to it, the manpower of the hospitals was divided into three divisions ( ...
Role of Omentin, Vaspin, Cardiotrophin-1, TWEAK and NOV/CCN3 in Obesity and Diabetes Development
(MDPI, 2017-08-15)
Adipose tissue releases bioactive mediators called adipokines. This review focuses on the effects of omentin, vaspin, cardiotrophin-1, Tumor necrosis factor-like Weak Inducer of Apoptosis (TWEAK) and nephroblastoma ...
Towards a more precise therapy in cancer: Exploring epigenetic complexity
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
A plethora of preclinical evidences suggests that pharmacological targeting of epigenetic dysregulation is a potent strategy to combat human diseases. Nevertheless, the implementation of epidrugs in clinical practice is ...
Influence of Pitch Size on Short-Term High Intensity Actions and Body Impacts in Soccer Sided Games
(Sciendo, 2021-03-31)
