Effect of Penetration Enhancers and Safety on the Transdermal Delivery of Apremilast in Skin
The poor water solubility of apremilast (APR) is the main impediment to the penetration of the drug through the skin barrier. The objective of this study was to evaluate the permeability of APR in different solutions ...
Cell-to-Cell Communication by Host-Released Extracellular Vesicles in the Gut: Implications in Health and Disease
Communication between cells is crucial to preserve body homeostasis and health. Tightly controlled intercellular dialog is particularly relevant in the gut, where cells of the intestinal mucosa are constantly exposed to ...
Impact of adaptive thermogenesis in mice on the treatment of obesity
Obesity and associated metabolic diseases have become a priority area of study due to the exponential increase in their prevalence and the corresponding health and economic impact. In the last decade, brown adipose tissue ...
Intestinal Anti-inflammatory Effects of Outer Membrane Vesicles from Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 in DSS-Experimental Colitis in Mice
Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) is a probiotic strain with proven efficacy in inducing and maintaining remission of ulcerative colitis. However, the microbial factors that mediate these beneficial effects are not fully ...
In Vitro Approaches to Explore the Anticancer Potential of One Natural Flavanone and Four Derivatives Loaded in Biopolymeric Nanoparticles for Application in Topical Delivery Treatments
The increasing number of skin cancer cases worldwide and the adverse side effects of current treatments have led to the search for new anticancer agents. In this present work, the anticancer potential of the natural flavanone ...
Absorció intestinal de monosacàrids.
El intestino es un órgano muy especializado, cuya funcion primaria es captar los nutrientes que constituyen la dieta para transferirlos al torrente sanguineo, desde donde seran distribuidos a todo el organismo. El presente ...
Dietary supplementation with spray-dried porcine plasma has prebiotic efects on gut microbiota in mice
In animal models of infammation and in farm animals, dietary inclusion of spray-dried porcine plasma (SDP) reduces mucosal infammation. Here, we study whether these efects could be mediated by changes in the intestinal ...
Association analysis in a Latin American population revealed ethnic differences in rheumatoid arthritis-associated SNPs in Caucasian and Asian populations
Large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have increased our knowledge of the genetic risk factors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, little is known about genetic susceptibility in populations with a large admixture ...
Cocoa intake attenuates oxidative stress associated with rat adjuvant arthritis
Cocoa contains flavonoids with antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to ascertain the effect of cocoa intake on oxidative stress associated with a model of chronic inflammation such as adjuvant arthritis. Female ...
ADHD subtypes are associated differently with circadian rhythms of motor activity, sleep disturbances, and body mass index in children and adolescents: a case-control study
<p>To date, few studies have examined the circadian pattern of motor activity in children and adolescents newly diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The objective was to study the circadian pattern ...
Phospholipid bilayer perturbing-properties underlying lysis induced by pH-sensitive cationic lysine-based surfactants in biomembranes
Many strategies for treating diseases require the delivery of drugs into the cell cytoplasm following internalization within endosomal vesicles. Thus, compounds triggered by low pH to disrupt membranes and release endosomal ...
The Immature Gut Barrier and Its Importance in Establishing Immunity in Newborn Mammals
The gut is an efficient barrier which protects against the passage of pathogenic microorganisms and potential harmful macromolecules into the body, in addition to its primary function of nutrient digestion and absorption. ...
Profiling and Evaluation of the Effect of Guarana-Loaded Liposomes on Different Skin Cell Lines: An In Vitro Study
Abstract The objective of this study was to analyze the in vitro stability and toxicity of liposomes containing guarana in skin cell lines. The liposomes were produced by the reverse phase evaporation method containing 1 ...
Staphylococcus epidermidis' Overload During Suckling Impacts the Immune Development in Rats
Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland occurring in 3-33% of the breastfeeding mothers. The majority of mastitis cases have an infectious etiology. More than 75% of infectious mastitis are caused by Staphylococcus ...
Exploring wild Aspleniaceae ferns as safety sources of polyphenols: the case of Asplenium trichomanes L. and Ceterach officinarum Willd
The forest ecosystem is a source of material resources used since ancient times by mankind. Ferns are part of different oriental systems of traditional medicine due to the phytochemical variety of their fronds, which have ...
Pseudomonas fitomaticsae sp. nov., isolated at Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes, Catalonia, Spain
In the framework of the research project called fitomatics, we have isolated and characterized a bacterial plant-endophyte from the rhizomes of Iris germanica, hereafter referred to as strain FIT81T. The bacterium is Gram ...
Dietary Supplementation with Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma Attenuates Colon Inflammation in a Genetic Mouse Model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Dietary supplementation with spray-dried porcine plasma (SDP) can modulate the immune response of gut-associated lymphoid tissue. SDP supplementation reduces acute mucosal inflammation, as well as chronic inflammation ...
