Mammalian Cell Behavior on Hydrophobic Substrates: Influence of Surface Properties
The influence of different surface properties holding to a modification of the substrate towards hydrophobic or superhydrophobic behavior was reviewed in this paper. Cell adhesion, their communication, and proliferation ...
Effect of dietary macronutrients on the expression of cholecystokinin, leptin, ghrelin and neuropeptide Y in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)
Endocrine factors released from the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, adipose tissue and other peripheral organs mediate the regulation of food intake. Although many studies have evaluated the effect of ...
Significant Role of the Truncated Ghrelin Receptor GHS-1Rb in Ghrelin-Induced Signaling in Neurons
The truncated non-signaling ghrelin receptor GHS-R1b has been suggested to simply exert a dominant negative role in the trafficking and signaling of the full and functional ghrelin receptor GHS-R1a. Here we reveal a more ...
Grau de satisfacció dels estudiants sobre les activitats complementàries realitzades a l'assignatura Fisiologia i Fisiopatologia III del Grau de Farmàcia de la Universitat de Barcelona
L'avaluació continuada de l'assignatura de Fisiologia i Fisiopatologia III del Grau de Farmàcia es basa en l'acreditació de coneixements assolits en l'estudi autònom i en la realització de tot un seguit d'activitats ...
Understanding the role of adenosine A2AR heteroreceptor complexes in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation
Adenosine is a nucleoside mainly formed by degradation of ATP, located intracellularly or extracellularly, and acts as a neuromodulator. It operates as a volume transmission signal through diffusion and flow in the ...
Increased inflammation, oxidative stress and mitochondrial respiration in brown adipose tissue from obese mice
Obesity is associated with severe metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. The pathophysiology of obesity-induced metabolic diseases has been strongly ...
Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors and Their Association with Self-Regulation in Chilean Children
Background: Self-regulation comprises a series of important competencies, such as the ability to control inner states or responses toward thoughts, attention, emotions, or even performance. The relationship between ...
Enhancement of immune maturation in suckling rats by leptin and adiponectin supplementation
Leptin and adiponectin, adipokines present in breast milk, have shown immunomodulatory properties. The current study aimed to ascertain whether a nutritional supplementation with leptin or adiponectin in neonatal rats was ...
In Vitro Antioxidant Activity Optimization of Nut Shell (Carya Illinoinensis) by Extrusion Using Response Surface Methods
The pecan (Carya illinoinensis) nut shell is an important byproduct of the food processing industry that has not been previously explored as an antioxidant compound. This work aims to study the effect of the extrusion ...
Fatty acid metabolism and the basis of brown adipose tissue function
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions, leading to severe associated pathologies such as insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Adipose tissue has become crucial due to its involvement ...
Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgA and IgG in human milk after vaccination is dependent on vaccine type and previous SARS-CoV-2 exposure: a longitudinal study
Background: Breast milk is a vehicle to transfer protective antibodies from the lactating mother to the neonate. After SARS-CoV-2 infection, virus-specific IgA and IgG have been identified in breast milk, however, there ...
Com desenvolupar un escaperoom educatiu per a l'aprenentatge d'immunologia: BreakOut Educatiu
Els BreakOut Educatius tenen com a finalitat que l'estudiant aprengui jugant a través de la resolució d'una sèrie d'enigmes que es troben en una caixa o similar. Per introduir continguts d'immunologia s'ha dissenyat un ...
Study of the process of phagocytosis of corpora amylacea from the cerebrospinal fluid by human macrophages
Corpora Amylacea (CA) are granular bodies that accumulate in the human brain during aging and neurodegenerative conditions. These structures act as containers that amass waste substances from the brain and they are extruded ...
Determination of Methotrexate in pH-Sensitive Chitosan Nanoparticles by Validated RP-LC and UV Spectrophotometric Methods
Nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems are in constant development and, therefore, it is of great importance to have rapid, efficient and accurate analytical methodology to quantify the encapsulated drugs. Here, simple ...
Table olive elicits antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Background: Table olives are a food with a high content of bioactive compounds with cardioprotective properties, such as oleic acid, polyphenols, and pentacyclic triterpenes. Here, we investigate the effect of the intake ...

Dietary Supplementation with Spray-dried Animal Plasma Improves Vaccine Protection in Aged Mice
Background: Senescence is characterized by an aggravated inflammatory state that reduces vaccine responsiveness. Dietary supplementation with spray-dried porcine plasma (SDP) exerts anti-inflammatory effects in different ...
Gut microbiota in a rat oral sensitization model: effect of a cocoa-enriched diet
Increasing evidence is emerging suggesting a relation between dietary compounds, microbiota, and the susceptibility to allergic diseases, particularly food allergy. Cocoa, a source of antioxidant polyphenols, has shown ...
Alteractions in the mucosal immune system by a chronic exhausting exercise in Wistar rats
Exhausting exercise can disturb immune and gastrointestinal functions. Nevertheless, the impact of it on mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue has not been studied in depth. Here, we aim to establish the effects of an intensive ...
