BACKGROUND Oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. It is recognized in overt hypothyroidism while its existence in subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is not well established. The aim of this study was to determine whether there was increased oxidation of lipids and proteins in SCH, and examine their association with lipids and thyroid hormones. METHODS Male a...

Molybdenum isotopes have emerged as novel tracers for high-temperature igneous and metamorphic processes. The debate remains to what extent different subducted slab lithologies, such oceanic crust marine sediments, contribute the Mo isotope signature of arc magmas and, hence, exert controls on terrestrial cycle. Here we investigate systematics from input output at Tongan subduction zone: Arc la...

The development of synbiotic vegan drinks expands the probiotic food options on market as an alternative to dairy products and with no added sugars. This study aimed investigate impact fermentation inulin addition in mixed carrot-orange juice Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LP) sensory profile, consumer acceptance functional stability. results demonstrated that all fermented juices had high anti...

Argan oil (AO), extracted from the argan tree’s fruits, is principally composed of mono-unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, tocopherols, and sterols. This unique chemical composition likely to be responsible for its beneficial effects. The tree (Argania spinosa) grows endemically in southwest Morocco. study aimed evaluate three types geographical locations: nuts collected a plantation (Casabl...

Over the past decade, it has been shown that unproductive lakes worldwide are net heterotrophic because bacterial respiration of allochthonous organic carbon (AOC) makes community respiration exceed primary production. Net heterotrophy means that aquatic systems are net sources of CO2 to the atmosphere but also that bacterial utilization of AOC increases bacterioplankton production (BP) and bac...

In the bad-cavity limit, collective atomic dipole is highly coherent, resulting in phase information of an active optical clock (AOC) laser primarily stored gain medium. Therefore, compared with good-cavity laser, sensitivity AOC to cavity fluctuations greatly reduced, as characterized by suppressed cavity-pulling effect. this work, lasing on cesium 7S 1/2 -6P 3/2 transition a natural linewidth...

Introduction The pattern of agrifood trade between North America and Europe can be described generally as an exchange of commodities for products (dell'Aquila, Sarker, and Meilke, 1999). A commodity is a good with homogeneous characteristics, such as "Hard Red Winter Wheat" or "Number 2 Yellow Corn." A product has distinctive characteristics which vary across processors and/or the geographic so...

OBJECTIVE Describing the pattern of and reasons for post-operative tumor residuals in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AOC) operated in a specialized gynecologic cancer center following a strategy of maximum upfront debulking followed by systemic chemotherapy. METHODS All consecutive AOC-patients treated between 2005 and 2015 due to stages FIGO IIIB/IV were included in this s...
