BACKGROUND Positive arterial remodeling and thin fibrous cap are characteristics of rupture-prone or vulnerable plaque. The natural course of the fibrous cap thickness and the relationship between serial arterial remodeling and changes in fibrous cap thickness are unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between changes in fibrous cap thickness and arterial...

BACKGROUND Changes in single skinfold thickness and body fat have been investigated in ultraswimmers and ultracyclists, but not in ultrarunners. The present study investigated the changes in single skinfold thickness during a 100 km ultramarathon. METHODS Firstly, we investigated associations between prerace preparation and prerace body composition and, secondly, changes in single skinfold th...

This work deals with changes in functional and sensory properties during freezing and frozen storage of Atlantic mackerel pre-treated by high hydrostatic pressure processing (HPP)....

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] is an important vegetable crop world-wide. Watermelon fruit quality is a complex trait determined by various factors such as sugar content, flesh color and flesh texture. Fruit quality and developmental process of cultivated and wild watermelon are highly different. To systematically understand the molecular basis of these differences, we ...

Abstract Pepper is an essential vegetable commodity in Indonesia. yellow leaf curl disease caused by the infection Begomoviruses tremendous damage to pepper production country. The breeding process through crosses necessary produce Begomovirus resistance material overcome constraint. In this present study, we estimated genetic parameters of hybridized F2 under natural infected conditions. Two C...
