background a strong association between obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) has been reported. objectives this study was conducted to evaluate if new obesity indices, including a body shape index (absi) and body roundness index (bri), have stronger associations with nafld than waist-to-hip ratio (whr) and waist-to-height ratio (whtr). methods in this cross-sectional study, we ...

nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) is an obesity-associated disease and dysregulation of adipokines has an important role in its development. omentin-1 (itln1 protein) and resistin are two adipokine secreted from adipose tissue. single nucleotide polymorphisms in the adipokine genes may affect expression and activity of the adipokine, and thus play a contributory role in nafld pathogenesi...

The natural history of a new disease entity in chronic beer drinkers consisting of pericardial effusion, a low cardiac output, and in about half of the cases of polycythemia is presented. Normalization of the heart volume, the hemoglobin value, and the hemodynamic state was obtained in patients who stopped drinking. Further evidence of the importance of cobalt in the development of the disease ...

We investigate whether beer drinkers are willing to pay a price premium for organic beer compared to conventional beer. Moreover, we identify subgroups of consumers with different preference patterns by investigating whether specific personal characteristics of the purchasers have an influence on this willingness-to-pay. Specifically, results are reported from a survey including a stated choice...

The ventral pallidum (VP) is a key component of the neural circuitry mediating relapse to drug seeking, but the critical afferent pathways to VP recruited during relapse remain poorly understood. We studied the role of the nucleus accumbens core (AcbC) ¡ VP pathway in ABA renewal and reacquisition of alcohol seeking. Rats received application of adenoviral vectors encoding eYFP, ChR2(H134R), or...

METHODS Among 502 women aged 36-45 years residing in seven Boston communities, we assessed self-repor...

This study aimed to verify the in vitro ability of beer fermentation residue (BFR) containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and five commercial products that differed in the viability and integrity of S. cerevisiae cells to remove aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) from a citrate-phosphate buffer solution (CPBS). BFR was collected at a microbrewery and prepared by drying and milling. The commercial yeast-bas...
