Diabetes mellitus is associated with dysregulation of adipose tissue metabolism and increased level of serum lipids. In our previous work we found that Securigera securidaca decreases cholesterol level in blood of diabetic rats. The present study was carried out to further investigate the effects of this plant on lipid metabolism, lipolysis, and adipogenesis, in diabetic rats. Female Wistar rat...

Hepatocyte-specific Phosphatase and tensin homolog (Pten)-knockout (KO) mice exhibit hepatic lesions analogous to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). 1,8-cineole is a monoterpene oxide and it has several biological effects including hepatoprotective effects. In this study we revealed that 1,8-cineole ameliorates NASH of Pten KO mice. Pten KO mice were assigned to a control group without any m...

Superada la pasión healthy por la salud individual y la obsesión por la salud como un objetivo en la vida, se está consolidando un nuevo modelo en promoción de la salud relacionado con lo que es favorable y positivo para la salud. Esta nueva concepción de «salud positiva» emerge frente al modelo tradicionalmente imperante en salud pública que se centra en la protección y la prevención, y pone é...

Hepatic microvesicular steatosis is a hallmark of drug-induced hepatotoxicity and early-stage fatty liver disease. Current histopathology techniques are inadequate for the clinical evaluation of hepatic microvesicular steatosis. In this paper, we explore the use of multimodal coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy for the detection and characterization of hepatic microvesicular...

The use of fluoroscopic devices exposes patients and operators to harmful effects of ionizing radiation in an electrophysiology (EP) lab. We sought to know if the newer fluoroscopic technology (Allura Clarity) installed in a hybrid EP helps to reduce prescribed radiation dose. We performed radiation dose analysis of 90 patients who underwent various procedures in the EP lab at a community teach...

Irudi digitalen analisia (DIA) teknika multzo batek osatzen du eta helburu nagusia da aztergai den sistema bati buruzko informazio adierazgarria determinatzea horren irudiak erabiliz. Metodoaren abantaila nagusiak bere abiadura, sinpletasuna beharrezko lagin kopuru txikia dira (400 μL-tik behera mikroplakak erabiltzen badira), baita sortutako hondakin ere. Lan honetan DIAren hiru aplikazio desb...
