Abstract: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a pathological condition in which more risk factors for cardiovascular events coexist. The prevalence of MetS increases with age and with menopause onset. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of the ω-3 series have been demonstrated to positively affected MetS features...
Keywords: Lipid metabolism; Metabolic syndrome; Polyunsaturated fatty acids; ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids; Krill oil
Abstract: To identify gene enzyme profile of rat thoracic aorta Perivascular Adipose Tissue (PVAT) and correlate K+-induced contractile response of aortic rings (TAR) with changes in its fatty acid composition...
Keywords: Aortic rings; Vascular contractility; Modulatory role of PVAT on smooth muscle contractility; PVAT fatty acid composition
Special Issue Article “Gaucher Disease”
Abstract: Gaucher’s Disease (GD) is caused by gene mutations inducing a deficiency in the production of glucocerebrosidase or saposin C (a cofactor). Glucocerebrosidase is an important catalyst of the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide into ceramide and glucose. This leads to the accumulation of sphingolipids...
Keywords: Gaucher’s disease; Metabolism; Nutrition; Lysosome
Abstract: Cubic membranes (CM) are highly ordered 3D periodic phospholipid bilayer membrane structures. The literature survey revealed that CM often appeared in the eukaryotic subcellular organelles under multiple stress and diseased conditions. CM were found in the free-living “starved” amoeba...
Keywords: Cubic membrane; Plasmalogen; Microglia; Neuroinflammation; Alzheimer’s disease
Special Issue Article “Herpes Virus”
Abstract: Iron is a necessary trace element in the human body, and it participates in many physiological processes. Disorders of iron metabolism can cause lesions in many tissues and organs, including bone. Recently, iron has gained attention as an independent factor influencing bone metabolism disorders...
Keywords: Iron; Bone metabolism; Osteoblast; Osteoclast; Reactive oxygen species
Special Issue Article “Iron Metabolism Disorders”
Abstract: The purpose of this commentary is to briefly summarize the central role of Fe in terms of oxidative effects on health, indicating the impact of Fe overload due to either exogenous supplementation or to the generation of cellular Fe excess content due to pathological situations. Fe is an element responsible...
Keywords: Hormesis; Fe overload; Oxidative stress
Abstract: The objective of this review is to describe and evaluate published studies that assess the relationships among linear growth, season of year, blood lead levels (BLLs), and vitamin D nutrition. Methods/Approach: A “Keyword” search of PubMed and Medline databases was performed to identify...
Keywords: Vitamin D; Children; Growth Adults; Lead; Season; Sunlight
Abstract: Fe, a micronutrient, is a key element in human nutrition, but its excess could lead to oxidative stress by actively catalyzing the generation of free radicals. The purpose of this mini-review is to briefly summarize the Fe-chelators’ central role on human health, in terms of oxidative effects...
Keywords: Fe-Chelators; Fe-Complexes; Fe deficiency; Fe overload; Oxidative stress; Human health
Special Issue Article “Vitamin D”
Abstract: Worldwide the pandemic of Covid-19 spreads rapidly and has an enormous public health impact with substantial fatal outcomes especially in high-risk groups, such as older people and patients with comorbidities like diabetes, dementia or cancer. In the absence of a vaccine against Covid-19...
Keywords: COVID-19; Vitamin D
