Effects of Resistance Training Intervention along with Leucine-Enriched Whey Protein Supplementation on Sarcopenia and Frailty in Post-Hospitalized Older Adults: Preliminary Findings of a Randomized Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2021-12-24)
Resistance training and protein supplementation are expected to exert the greatest effect in counteracting muscle-wasting conditions. Myokines might play a key role, but this remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study ...
TREM-2 defends the liver against hepatocellular carcinoma through multifactorial protective mechanisms
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-07)
[EN] Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent
and aggressive cancer usually arising on a background
of chronic liver injury involving inflammatory and hepatic
regenerative processes. The triggering receptor ...
Adiponectin, leptin, and IGF-1 are useful diagnostic and stratification biomarkers of NAFLD
(Frontiers Media, 2021-06-23)
[EN] Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver
disease where liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Here we aimed
to evaluate the role of circulating adiponectin, ...
TREM-2 plays a protective role in cholestasis by acting as a negative regulator of inflammation
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
Background & Aims: Inflammation, particularly that mediated by bacterial components translocating from the gut to the liver and binding to toll-like receptors (TLRs), is central to cholestatic liver injury. The triggering ...
Determinants of Participation in a Post-Hospitalization Physical Exercise Program for Older Adults
(BioMed Central, 2020-10-16)
Background: Older patients often experience a decline in physical function and cognitive status after hospitalization. Although interventions involving physical exercise are effective in improving functional performance, ...
Inhibition of NAE-dependent protein hyper-NEDDylation in cystic cholangiocytes halts cystogenesis in experimental models of polycystic liver disease
(Sage, 2021-09)
Background Polycystic liver diseases (PLDs) are genetic inherited disorders characterized by the progressive growth of numerous intrahepatic biliary cysts, which are the main cause of morbidity. Previous studies revealed ...
Targeting UBC9-Mediated Protein Hyper-SUMOylation in Cystic Cholangiocytes Halts Polycystic Liver Disease in Experimental Models
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Polycystic liver diseases (PLDs) are genetic disorders characterized by progressive development of multiple fluid-filled biliary cysts. Most PLD-causative genes participate in protein biogenesis and/or ...
Mortality Risks after Two Years in Frail and Pre-Frail Older Adults Admitted to Hospital
(MDPI, 2023-04-24)
Background: Frailty is characterized by a progressive decline in the physiological functions of multiple body systems that lead to a more vulnerable condition, which is prone to the development of various adverse events, ...
FOSL1 promotes cholangiocarcinoma via transcriptional effectors that could be therapeutically targeted
(Elsevier, 2021-04-20)
[EN] Background & Aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a neoplasia of
the biliary tract driven by genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional
mechanisms. Herein, we investigated the role of the transcription
factor FOSL1, as ...
Effects of Leucine-Enriched Whey Protein Supplementation on Physical Function in Post-Hospitalized Older Adults Participating in 12-Weeks of Resistance Training Program: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2019-10-01)
Age-related strength and muscle mass loss is further increased after acute periods of inactivity. To avoid this, resistance training has been proposed as an effective countermeasure, but the additional effect of a protein ...
