Monitoring of minor compounds in corn oil oxidation by direct immersion-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. New oil oxidation markers
(Elsevier, 2019-08-30)
The aim of this study is to shed light on the evolution of the minor compounds in the corn oil oxidation process, through the information provided by direct immersion-microextraction in solid phase followed by gas ...
Cardiometabolic risk through an integrative classification combining physical activity and sedentary behavior in European adolescents: HELENA study
(Shangai University Sport, 2019-01)
Purpose: This study aims to compare adolescents' cardiometabolic risk score through an integrative classification of physical activity (PA), which involves the combination of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) ...
Programmed Cell-Death by Ferroptosis: Antioxidants as Mitigators
(MDPI, 2019-10-08)
Iron, the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, is vital in living organisms because of its diverse ligand-binding and electron-transfer properties. This ability of iron in the redox cycle as a ferrous ion ...
Relationship between Changes in Microbiota and Liver Steatosis Induced by High-Fat Feeding-A Review of Rodent Models
(MDPI, 2019-09-19)
Several studies have observed that gut microbiota can play a critical role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) development. The gut microbiota is influenced by different ...
Pterostilbene Reduces Liver Steatosis and Modifies Hepatic Fatty Acid Profile in Obese Rats
(MDPI, 2019-04-26)
Excessive fat accumulation within the liver is known as "simple hepatic steatosis", which is the most benign form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of the present study was to determine whether pterostilbene ...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with susceptibility for development of colorectal cancer: Case-control study in a Basque population
(Public Library Science, 2019-12-10)
Given the significant population diversity in genetic variation, we aimed to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously identified in studies of colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility were also ...
Force spectroscopy-based simultaneous topographical and mechanical characterization to study polymer-to-polymer interactions in coated alginate microspheres
(Nature Publishing, 2019-12-27)
Cell-laden hydrogel microspheres have shown encouraging outcomes in the fields of drug delivery, tissue engineering or regenerative medicine. Beyond the classical single coating with polycations, many other different coating ...
Review of Advanced Hydrogel-Based Cell Encapsulation Systems for Insulin Delivery in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
(MDPI, 2019-11-12)
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of beta-cells in the pancreatic islets. In this regard, islet transplantation aims for the replacement of the damaged beta-cells through minimally ...
Cationic Niosomes as Non-Viral Vehicles for Nucleic Acids: Challenges and Opportunities in Gene Delivery
(MDPI, 2019-02)
Cationic niosomes have become important non-viral vehicles for transporting a good number of small drug molecules and macromolecules. Growing interest shown by these colloidal nanoparticles in therapy is determined by their ...
Diastolic Dysfunction and Exercise Capacity in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome and Overweight/Obesity
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Background: Left ventricle diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a common finding in high risk individuals, its presence being associated with reduced exercise capacity (EC). We assessed the prevalence of LVDD, applying the 2016 ...
