(Pro)renin Receptor Expression Increases throughout the Colorectal Adenoma-Adenocarcinoma Sequence and It Is Associated with Worse Colorectal Cancer Prognosis
(MDPI, 2019-06-24)
(Pro)renin receptor (PRR) is a protein that takes part in several signaling pathways such as Renin Angiotensin System and Wnt signalling. Its biological role has recently been related to cancer progression and in this ...
Obesity Parameters, Physical Activity, And Physical Fitness are Correlated With Serum Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Activity In A Healthy Population
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
Objective: To determine whether obesity, physical fitness, and physical activity parameters are associated with the enzymatic activity of serum dipeptidyl peptidase IV (sDPPIV) in a sample of healthy women and men.
Design ...
Bone Health and Its Relationship with Impact Loading and the Continuity of Physical Activity throughout School Periods
(MDPI, 2019-08-14)
Bone is influenced by physical activity (PA) throughout life, but childhood and adolescence provide a key opportunity to maximize peak bone mass. Thus, it is important to identify the relationship between PA practiced in ...
Serum Sestrin-1 Concentration Is Higher in Frail than Non-Frail Older People Living in Nursing Homes
(MDPI, 2022-01-19)
Given the increasing prevalence of frailty and its implications for public health, the identification of biomarkers to detect frailty is essential. Sestrin-1 is a protein with a protective role in muscle function. This ...
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, ...
Altered glutamyl-aminopeptidase activity and expression in renal neoplasms
(Biomed Central, 2014-05-30)
Background: Advances in the knowledge of renal neoplasms have demonstrated the implication of several proteases in their genesis, growth and dissemination. Glutamyl-aminopeptidase (GAP) (EC. 3.4.11.7) is a zinc metallopeptidase ...
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 ...
An Overground Robotic Gait Training Program for People With Multiple Sclerosis: A Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Maintaining the ability to walk is one of the significant challenges in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) for keeping a good quality of life as the disease and the aging process progresses. Overground robotic (OR) wearable ...
Successful breastfeeding among women with intention to breastfeed: From physiology to socio-cultural factors
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
[EN] Background: Even if women have intention to breastfeed, they do not always achieve a successful breastfeeding. Aim: This study aims to analyse factors affecting breastfeeding prevalence among mothers that intended to ...
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 ...
