The corticotrophin-releasing factor/urocortin system regulates white fat browning in mice through paracrine mechanisms.
2015
Objectives:\ud The corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)/urocortin system is expressed in the adipose tissue of mammals, but its functional role in this tissue remains unknown.\ud \ud Methods:\ud Pharmacological manipulation of the activity of CRF receptors, CRF1 and CRF2, was performed in 3T3L1 white pre-adipocytes and T37i brown pre-adipocytes during in vitro differentiation. The expression of genes of the CRF/urocortin system and of markers of white and brown adipocytes was evaluated along with mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular oxygen consumption. Metabolic evaluation of corticosterone-deficient or supplemented Crhr1-null (Crhr1−/−) mice and their wild-type controls was performed alo…
High-Fat Diet Induces Pre-Diabetes and Distinct Sex-Specific Metabolic Alterations in Negr1-Deficient Mice
2021
In the large GWAS studies, NEGR1 gene has been one of the most significant gene loci for body mass phenotype. The purpose of the current study was to clarify the role of NEGR1 in the maintenance of systemic metabolism, including glucose homeostasis, by using both male and female Negr1−/− mice receiving a standard or high fat diet (HFD). We found that 6 weeks of HFD leads to higher levels of blood glucose in Negr1−/− mice. In the glucose tolerance test, HFD induced phenotype difference only in male mice
Fighting the Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Mindfulness, Exercise, and Nutrition Practices to Reduce Eating Disorders and Promote Sustainabil…
2023
Over the past two years, the world’s population has been tested by the COVID-19 health emergency. This has changed population habits worldwide by encouraging a sedentary lifestyle and overnutrition. Isolation and reduction of social life, for most of the population, was mandatory but it quickly became a new lifestyle. Nowadays, we are encountering the consequences with an increase in nutritional associated disorders and conditions that cause illnesses in the general population. These disorders include diet excesses that lead to obesity and diet deficiencies and malnutrition which could rapidly lead to death. These eating disorders are very complex to manage because they become mental disord…

Ekspansja wizualności. Wpływ współczesnych mediów na sposób postrzegania rzeczywistości
2019
Ekspansja wizualności w kulturze współczesnej wpływa na kreowanie nowego typu odbiorcy, akceptującego i medialne wizualizacje świata oraz niezdolnego, zdaniem Giovanniego Sartoriego, do myślenia abstrakcyjnego (homo videns). Proces ten autorka śledzi na przykładzie telewizji, która podlegając nasilającej się tabloidyzacji, wypracowała obrazową narrację (relacje "na żywo" z przebiegu wydarzeń medialnych), wspomagająca kształtowania odbiorcy nie tylko podatnego na manipulację obrazami, lecz także zniewolonego pamięcią eksponowanych, a do tego powtarzanych,. obrazów. Taka sytuacja inspiruje powstanie nowego typu dziennikarza, zainteresowanego sensacją oraz skłonnego do korzystania z niezweryfi…
Le petit appétit du grand âge

Vieillissement, adaptation alimentaire au grand âge et petit appétit : le petit mangeur âgé
2018
Atteindre un âge canonique de 100 ans avec toutes les fonctions cognitives et physiques de l'âge adulte est le souhait de chacun. Pour autant, avec le vieillissement, l'héritage génétique, les conditions de vie durant la vie adulte et certains accidents de la vie peuvent faire basculer des personnes âgées plus rapidement que d'autres vers la dépendance, la dénutrition, la fragilité. Simone de Beauvoir écrivait « la sénescence n'est pas une pente que chacun descend à la même vitesse. C'est une volée de marches irrégulières que certains dégringolent plus vite que d'autres ». Le vieillissement a ses surprises et pour un même âge de 90 ans, alors que certains peuvent rivaliser avec les plus jeu…
Onihomikožu epidemioloģija Latvijā
2015
Darba mērķis un problēmas būtība Darba mērķis ir analizēt onihomikožu epidemioloģiju Latvijā 2013./2014.gadā, noskaidrot tās galvenos izraisītājus, klīniskos un sociālos aspektus, kā arī izstrādāt anketu onihomikožu epidemioloģisko rādītāju apkopošanai un rekomendēt to ieviešanu Latvijas dermatoveneralogu praksēs. Zinātniskās publikācijas vēsta par onihomikožu izplatību, diagnostiku un ārstēšanas metodēm pasaules mērogā, tomēr trūkst epidemioloģisko pētījumu Latvijā, kā arī nav izstrādātas vadlīnijas slimības diagnostikai un ārstēšanai. Materiāli un metodes 2013.gada 27.novembrī Latvijas Dermatovenerologu asociācijas sēdē tika izdalītas un elektroniski izsūtītas 105 anketas, 54 dalībnieki p…
A person-oriented approach to maternal homework involvement during the transition to lower secondary school
2022
This study examined patterns of mothers' homework involvement (n = 680 in Grade 6 and 665 in Grade 7) and changes in them during 12-year-old Finnish adolescents' (n = 848; 391 boys) transition to lower secondary school. Moreover, the extent to which adolescents' motivational behavior and prior academic achievement predicted these patterns was examined. The latent transition analyses identified four relatively stable latent patterns of maternal homework involvement in Grades 6 and 7: averagely involved, psychologically controlling and intrusive, noninvolved, and intrusive monitoring and helping. The higher task avoidance and the poorer achievement adolescents showed, the more likely their mo…
Fostering the relationship between home and school : a case study of a senior secondary school in the Gambia
2011
The study examines the extent to which the relationship between home and school affects students’ academic achievements. A senior secondary school in The Gambia was chosen for this study. The focus of the research was to identify and describe intentionally designed programs and practices that foster the involvement of home in school activities and its important outcomes for the stakeholders (home and school). A qualitative method using semi-structured interviews was used to collect the data from the school principal, four English language teachers and ten parents in order to explore the nature and the degree of support they provide for students. The data was analyzed by the researcher using…
