Sex differences in the aging pattern of renin–angiotensin system serum peptidases
(Biomed Central, 2017-02-03)
Background: Serum peptidases, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2), neutral endopeptidase (NEP), aminopeptidase N (APN), and aminopeptidase A (APA), are important elements of ...
Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, Body Composition, And Nutrition Are Associated With Bone Status In University Students
(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
Understanding the modifiable factors that improve and maximize peak bone mass at an early age is necessary to design more effective intervention programs to prevent osteoporosis. To identify these modifiable factors, we ...
Low Serum Klotho Concentration is Associated with Worse Cognition, Psychological Components of Frailty, Dependence, and Falls in Nursing Home Residents
(Springer, 2021-04-27)
Serum alpha-klotho (s-klotho) protein has been linked with lifespan, and low concentrations of s-klotho have been associated with worse physical and cognitive outcomes. Although its significance in aging remains unclear, ...
Dipeptidyl-Peptidase IV Activity Is Correlated with Colorectal Cancer Prognosis
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-19)
Background
Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) (DPPIV) is a serine peptidase involved in cell differentiation, adhesion, immune modulation and apoptosis, functions that control neoplastic transformation. Previous ...
Successful breastfeeding among women with intention to breastfeed: From physiology to socio-cultural factors
(Elsevier, 2022-01)

Despite intention to breastfeed, smoking during pregnancy is associated with shorter breastfeeding duration
(Elsevier, 2023-04)
While maternal smoking is associated with lower breastfeeding rates, the intention to breastfeed is simultaneously related to higher breastfeeding success. This study aimed to i) analyse the association between maternal ...
