Animal agency in Iron-Age Sicilian art (VIII-VI BCE): Interaccion between bovines and man
2019
El objetivo del presente artículo es el análisis de las relaciones entre bovinos y humanos bajo la perspectiva de la agencia animal a través de varios objetos artísticos encontrados en el asentamiento de Polizzello (Sicilia occidental), datados entre los ss. VIII-VI a. C. Concretamente, presentamos un conjunto de jarras cerámicas decoradas con bucráneos, así como también representaciones de bovinos y seres híbridos en distintos soportes cerámicos como son vasos de almacenamiento, de consumo y servicio de alimentos. En primer lugar, nos centraremos brevemente en explicar el contexto histórico y social de la isla en la Edad del Hierro, haciendo especial énfasis en sus tradiciones artísticas. …
Protection by extra virgin olive oil against oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo. Chemical and biological studies on the health benefits due to a m…
2017
Abstract We report the results of in vivo studies in Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes in which addition of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to their diet significantly increased their life span with respect to the control group. Furthermore, when nematodes were exposed to the pesticide paraquat, they started to die after two days, but after the addition of EVOO to their diet, both survival percentage and lifespans of paraquat-exposed nematodes increased. Since paraquat is associated with superoxide radical production, a test for scavenging this radical was performed using cyclovoltammetry and the EVOO efficiently scavenged the superoxide. Thus, a linear correlation (y = -0.0838x +19.73, regres…
Degradación de aminas biógenas mediante sistemas microbianos. Identificación y caracterización de las enzimas responsables
2016
Las aminas son compuestos ampliamente presentes en la naturaleza que contienen uno o varios sustituyentes unidos a un átomo de nitrógeno. Son compuestos endógenos de las plantas que también pueden encontrarse en frutas frescas y verduras. Sin embargo, en los alimentos, las aminas se forman fundamentalmente en los procesos fermentativos, y durante el envejecimiento y la conservación. Las aminas biógenas (AB) se originan por la descarboxilación microbiana de los correspondientes aminoácidos precursores, por ello se denominan ‘biógenas’. Entre las AB, las más estudiadas son la histamina y la tiramina por sus implicaciones negativas para la salud. Están presentes en numerosos alimentos tales co…
Vinblastine-induced autophagocytosis: effects on liver glycogen
1983
The possible similarities of the mechanism by which vinblastine induces autophagocytosis in liver were compared with the known effects of glucagon in glucagon-induced autophagocytosis. A single intraperitoneal injection of vinblastine produced a wave of autophagocytosis in less than 0.5 h in mouse hepatocytes. Liver glycogen content decreases simultaneously and blood glucose first increased and then decreased below control values. Both liver cAMP concentration and the activity of glycogen phosphorylase remained unchanged. These findings provide evidence that the induction of autophagocytosis after vinblastine injection is not mediated by cAMP. The increased degradation of glycogen may occur…

La comunicazione: un valido strumento per la competitività delle aziende vitivinicole
2010
In the last few years, wine market was characterized by fast changes because of significant changes in consumers’ eating habits and lifestyles that, consequently, impacted wine consumption and demand. In this scenario, wine producers that want to win competitors must definitely be market-oriented. For wine producers, to be competitive means to focus on strategic business decisions, to keep the brand in the market, to increase new consumer segments and to move towards a diversified production that points to research and innovation, looking constantly for quality. Communication is nowadays one of the main strengths of competitiveness and especially strategically-market-oriented wine producers…
La "pulce" musicale di Italo Calvino. Canzoni e Allez hop.
2015
Il saggio è dedicato a una specifica produzione di Calvino, preferito nella sua atipica veste di scrittore in versi e autore di testi per musica. Viene passato in rassegna l’intero corpus delle canzoni scritte nel periodo compreso tra il 1958 e il 1960 (Canzone triste, Dove vola l’avvoltoio?, Oltre il ponte, Sul verde fiume Po, Turin la nuit, Il padrone del mondo, La tigre) e il racconto mimico Allez-hop di cui protagonista è una pulce. È curioso che uno scrittore come Calvino, non soltanto «intimidito» dalla musica, come dichiarato da Berio, ma addirittura quasi impaurito da essa, abbia così insistentemente invaso e oltremodo arricchito un territorio di non propria competenza, facendo i co…
The Impact of Insulin on Low-dose Metronomic Vinorelbine and Mafosfamide in Breast Cancer Cells
2021
Background/aim Breast cancer (BC) may be affected by diabetes and anti-diabetic medication, as well as its therapeutic agents. Low-dose metronomic chemotherapy (LDMC) is an available treatment option in BC. We investigated the impact of insulin on low-dose metronomic vinorelbine and mafosfamide in BC cell lines. Materials and methods Human BC cell lines T-47D, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, BT-549 and non-tumorigenic breast cell line MCF-10A were exposed to 0.01 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml insulin in combination with low-dose metronomic vinorelbine or mafosfamide. The cell viability was determined after 24-72 hours using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Results Insulin, especi…
Abstract 1918: Gene characterization of lung-tumorspheres for their usage as an in vitro screening platform for testing new therapeutic strategies
2017
Abstract Background: Lung cancer features like treatment resistance or tumor relapse have been linked to cancer stem cells (CSCs), a population of cells with self-renewal properties, and the ability to grow forming tumorspheres in non-adherent conditions. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize tumorspheres from lung cancer cell lines and tumor tissue from resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and to use them as an in vitro platform for drug screening. Methods: This study was performed on cells from seven NSCLC tumor samples and five cell lines (H1650, H1993, H1395, A549 and PC9) grown in monolayer and as spheroids. The expression of 60 genes, including CSC-ma…
