Antidiabetic Drugs in NAFLD: The Accomplishment of Two Goals at Once?
2018
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in Western countries, accounting for 20–30% of general population and reaching a prevalence of 55% in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin resistance plays a key role in pathogenic mechanisms of NAFLD. Many drugs have been tested but no medications have yet been approved. Antidiabetic drugs could have a role in the progression reduction of the disease. The aim of this review is to summarize evidence on efficacy and safety of antidiabetic drugs in patients with NAFLD. Metformin, a biguanide, is the most frequently used drug in the treatment of T2DM. To date 15 randomized controlled t…
Integrated CGH/WES Analyses Advance Understanding of Aggressive Neuroblastoma Evolution: A Case Study
2021
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extra-cranial malignancy in preschool children. To portray the genetic landscape of an overly aggressive NB leading to a rapid clinical progression of the disease, tumor DNA collected pre- and post-treatment has been analyzed. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), whole-exome sequencing (WES), and pharmacogenetics approaches, respectively, have identified relevant copy number alterations (CNAs), single nucleotide variants (SNVs), and polymorphisms (SNPs) that were then combined into an integrated analysis. Spontaneously formed 3D tumoroids obtained from the recurrent mass have also been characterized. The results prove the power of combining C…
Identification and characterization of aging products in the glyoxal/ammonium sulfate system – implications for light-absorbing material in atmospher…
2012
Abstract. In this study we report the identification of bicyclic imidazoles in aqueous aerosol mimics using HPLC-ESI-MS/MS. 2,2´-Biimidazole was identified to be a major contributor to the 280 nm absorbance band observed in mixtures of glyoxal and ammonium sulfate, despite the fact that its production rate is two orders of magnitude lower than the previously reported production rates of imidazole or imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde. The molar absorptivity of 2,2´-biimidazole was determined to be (36 690±998) M−1 cm−1. This demonstrates the necessity of molecular product identification at trace levels to enable a better understanding of relevant absorbing species. Additionally the forma…
Determinación de la respuesta bronquial a adenosina 5'monofosfato y de la concentración de óxido nítrico en aire exhalado en pacientes con colitis ul…
2009
Las manifestaciones pulmonares de la colitis ulcerosa son una de las manifestaciones extraintestinales menos frecuentes. La afectación pulmonar subclínica es mas frecuente que la enfermedad pulmonar activa. En una revisión publicada en el año 2003, los autores destacan como un 62,5% de los casos registrados presentan afectación pulmonar subclinica (alteraciones en la espirometría, volúmenes pulmonares, difusión pulmonar, permeabilidad pulmonar o hallazgos en el lavado broncoalveolar). La determinación de óxido nítrico en aire exhalado (ENO) y la provocación bronquial con adenosina 5´-monofosfato (AMP) y metacolina han permitido estudiar la inflamación y las alteraciones estructurales bronqu…

9-cis-Retinoic acid enhances fatty acid-induced expression of the liver fatty acid-binding protein gene
1997
The role of retinoic acids (RA) on liver fatty acid- binding protein (L-FABP) expression was investigated in the well differentiated FAO rat hepatoma cell line. 9-cis-Retinoic acid (9-ci's-RA) specifically enhanced L-FABP mRNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The higher induction was found 6 h after addition of 10 -6 M 9-CK-RA in the medium. RA also enhanced further both L-FABP mRNA levels and cytosolic L-FABP protein content induced by oleic acid. The retinoid X receptor (RXR) and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), which are known to be activated, respectively, by 9-c/s-RA and long chain fatty acid (LCFA), co-operated to bind specifically the peroxisome prol…
LA REGOLAMENTAZIONE DELLE UNIONI CIVILI TRA PERSONE DELLO STESSO SESSO E DELLE CONVIVENZE IN ITALIA
2016
El presente trabajo analiza la ley sobre el tema de las uniones civiles entre individuos del mismo sexo y las uniones de hecho aprobada por el Parlamento italiano. Con esta disciplina el Estado italiano colma un vacío de tutela hacia las parejas del mismo sexo y las uniones de hecho This study analyses the same-sex registered partnership and cohabiting couples Act recently approved by the Italian Parliament. Thanks to this, Italy should resolve the legal vacuum that has had as a result a lack of protection for the same-sex couples and the cohabiting couples.
Dietary Intake of n-6 Fatty Acids Modulates Effect of Apolipoprotein A5 Gene on Plasma Fasting Triglycerides, Remnant Lipoprotein Concentrations, and…
2006
Background— Apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) variation is associated with plasma triglycerides (TGs). However, little is known about whether dietary fat modulates this association. Methods and Results— We investigated the interaction between APOA5 gene variation and dietary fat in determining plasma fasting TGs, remnant-like particle (RLP) concentrations, and lipoprotein particle size in 1001 men and 1147 women who were Framingham Heart Study participants. Polymorphisms –1131T>C and 56C>G, representing 2 independent haplotypes, were analyzed. Significant gene–diet interactions between the –1131T>C polymorphism and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake were found (PG polymorphism. The –1131…
Estudio del tratamiento anaerobio de aguas residuales urbanas en biorreactores de membranas
2014
Las aguas residuales urbanas (ARU) constituyen la fuente puntual de contaminantes más importante a escala global. Actualmente, un elevado porcentaje de las aguas residuales producidas a nivel mundial son vertidas al medio sin haber recibido ningún tipo de tratamiento, con consecuencias inmediatas, y en algunas ocasiones desastrosas, para la salud pública y la calidad del entorno natural. El tratamiento anaerobio está considerado como una de las alternativas más atractivas para el desarrollo de sistemas sostenibles de tratamiento de aguas residuales que ayuden a mitigar los efectos negativos de la urbanización y del desarrollo socioeconómico. El atractivo de estos sistemas reside en su mayor…
Safety Evaluation of α-Lipoic Acid Supplementation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Studies
2020
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a natural short-chain fatty acid that has attracted great attention in recent years as an antioxidant molecule. However, some concerns have been recently raised regarding its safety profile. To address the issue, we aimed to assess ALA safety profile through a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis of the available randomized placebo-controlled clinical studies. The literature search included EMBASE, PubMed Medline, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and ISI Web of Science by Clarivate databases up to 15th August 2020. Data were pooled from 71 clinical studies, comprising 155 treatment arms, which included 4749 subjects with 2558 subjects treated with ALA an…
