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 ...
A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol to Test The Efficacy of a Dual-TaskMulticomponent Exercise Program in the Attenuation of Frailty in Long-Term Nursing Home Residents: Aging-ONDUAL-TASK Study
(Springer Nature, 2019-01-08)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Aging-ONDUAL-TASK study is to determine if a supervised dual-task program carried out in long-term nursing homes is able to attenuate frailty in a greater extent than the same multicomponent ...
Regulation of boar sperm functionality by the nitric oxidesynthase/nitric oxide system
(Springer, 2019-08)
Purpose Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical synthesized mainly by nitric oxide synthases (NOSs). NO regulates many aspects in sperm physiology in different species. However, in vitro studies investigating NOS distribution, ...
Manipulation of bicarbonate concentration in sperm capacitation media improves in vitro fertilisation output in porcine species
(Biomed Central, 2019-03-11)
BackgroundThe in vivo concentration of bicarbonate (HCO3-), one of the essential sperm capacitating effectors, varies greatly in the different environments sperm go through from cauda epididymis to the fertilisation site. ...
Influence of nutrient intake on antioxidant capacity, muscle damage and white blood cell count in female soccer players
(BioMed Central, 2012-07-19)
Background: Soccer is a form of exercise that induces inflammatory response, as well as an increase in free radicals potentially leading to muscle injury. Balanced nutritional intake provides important antioxidant vitamins, ...
Mechanisms Responsible for the Trophic Effect of Beta-Adrenoceptors on the I-to Current Density in Type 1 Diabetic Rat Cardiomyocytes
(Karger, 2013)
Background/Aims: In diabetic ventricular myocytes, transient outward potassium current (I-to) amplitude is severely reduced because of the impaired catecholamine release that characterizes diabetic autonomic neuropathy. ...
Expression and Localization of Opioid Receptors in Male Germ Cells and the Implication for Mouse Spermatogenesis
(Public Library Science, 2016-03-31)
The presence of endogenous opioid peptides in different testicular cell types has been extensively characterized and provides evidence for the participation of the opioid system in the regulation of testicular function. ...
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 ...
Lipidomic data uncover extensive heterogeneity in phosphatidylcholine structural variants in HepG2 cells
(Elsevier, 2019-10-04)
The data contain information related to the research article entitled "Profiling of promoter occupancy by the SND1 transcriptional coactivator identifies downstream glycerolipid metabolic genes involved in TNF alpha response ...
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 ...
