The probiotic Gram-positive bacterium Lactobacillus casei BL23 is naturally confronted with salt- stress habitats. It has been previously reported that growth in high-salt medium, containing 0.8 M NaCl, leads to modifica...

The perception, processing and response to environmental challenges involves the activation of the immuno-neuroendocrine (INE) interplay. Concerted environmental challenges might induce trade-off when resource allocation...

We have studied the effects of naringin (NAR), a flavonoid from citric fruits, on morphology, ultrastructure and function of the kidney in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Two groups of animals were used: (1) ...

During the pandemic, learning policies have transformed face-to-face to online-based learning. Technology and information play a crucial role in learning infrastructure, sources of teaching materials, tools, learning fac...

The prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has increased in the last years. Although anti-VEGF agents have improved the prognosis of exudative AMD, dry AMD has still devastating effects on elderly people vi...

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) synthesizes NO from the substrate L-arginine (Arg). NOS with distinct biochemical properties were characterized from two photosynthetic microorganisms, the unicellular algae Ostreococcus tauri...

The aim of this work was to study the oxidative stress effects and histological alterations caused by dietary copper on the filter-feeding freshwater mussel Diplodon chilensis. Bivalves were fed during 6 weeks with the g...

There is evidence that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with increasing production of reactive oxygen species and tissue injury. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of oxidative stress indices...

The management of wild vicuñas can trigger a stress response that may compromise welfare. In Santa Catalina, Jujuy Province, Argentina, indices of short-term stress associated with capture, handling, and shearing were s...

Biotic and abiotic stressors commonly co-occur in plant communities and influence interactions between plants. However, their combined effects on plant interactions have not been widely studied and are still unclear. Her...

Alcohol consumption, in particular ethanol (EtOH), typically begins in human adolescence, often in a “binge like” manner. However, although EtOH abuse has a high prevalence at this stage, the effects of exposure duri...

Fear generalization occurs when a response, previously acquired with a threatening stimulus, is transferred to a similar one. However, it could be maladaptive when stimuli that do not represent a real threat are appraise...

Soil salinity can impair carbon fixation and ultimately decrease crop yield. To counteract this detrimental effect and maintain cellular homeostasis and productivity under stress, plants rely on metabolic and growth adap...

Numerous bacteria have evolved different iron uptake systems with the ability to make use of their own and heterologous siderophores. However, there is growing evidence attributing alternative roles for siderophores that...

Transcriptional co-activators of the multiprotein bridging factor 1 (MBF1) type belong to a small multigenic family that controls gene expression by connecting transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery....

During postnatal development, the central nervous system (CNS) is highly sensitive to effects of drugs, stressors and environment. In this study, we evaluated the effect of acute cold stress on g-aminobutyric acid (GABA)...

Prenatal androgen excess is considered one of the main causes of the development of polycystic ovary syndrome. In this study, we investigated the effect of prenatal hyperandrogenization (PH) on the physiology of the adul...

Abstract Objective This study aims to systematically review the impact of total screen time on university students' health outcomes and academic performance, and to explore its dose–response relationship. Methods The P...

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects more than 800 million people worldwide. Patients undergoing haemodialysis often experience increased stress and compromised cardiovascular health, which may affect treat...

Abstract BackgroundPoor sleep is closely linked to mental health challenges and workplace burnout. Mental health and workplace stressors can impair sleep, while good sleep quality supports cognitive and emoti...

ABSTRACT Purpose Ligament tension balance is essential for successful and long‐term implant survival of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conventional manual tensioning methods are subjective and vary with the surgeon exp...

This article examines psychological violence against women in the digital environment, amplified by anonymity and immediacy. It analyzes impacts, typologies, and response mechanisms in light of Brazilian legislation. We ...

BackgroundDigital health and connected technologies may support better health outcomes among older adults, including those with multiple chronic conditions or low engagement in health behaviors. However, initial experien...

Abstract Background A growing body of research shows the promise and efficacy of technology‐based or digital interventions in improving the health and well‐being of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). In ad...
