The enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is pivotal in reproductive processes, particularly in placental and vascular development. This study investigated the role of HO-1 and its byproduct, carbon monoxide (CO), in trophoblas...

Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, has a digenetic life cycle. In itspassage from the insect vector to the mammalian host, and vice versa, it must be preparedto cope with abrupt changes in enviro...

A positive relationship between protein concentration and yield has been documented in different combinations of genotype and environment, often under potential conditions. However, the ecophysiological bases underlying ...

The stress-strain of samples deformed until failure and the relaxation response after 50% deformation of the initial height under constant stress were obtained. Uniaxial compression and stressrelaxation tests enabled s...

Triterpene saponins (TS) are a structurally diverse group of metabolites that are widely distributed in plants. They primarily serve as defense compounds and their production is often triggered by biotic stresses through...

A model for studying the mechanical internal stresses into dielectric materials is developed in the present work. The model takes into account the formalism of inclusions in continuous media. The dielectric material is a...

The oleaginous unicellular microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is being intensely studied as a source of carotenoids and lipids with potential biotechnological and biomedical applications. The aim of this study was to anal...

In different tissues hyperosmolarity induces cell differentiation. Nevertheless an exacerbated hyperosmolar stress alters the normal cellular development. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV-1) is a non-se...

Temperature and nutrient availability are critical for the growth and development of aquatic invertebrates. However, an increase in these factors, derived from human stressors, could impact their food resources, such as ...

In the context of accelerated technological development, education systems are increasingly influenced by digital transformation and data-driven innovations. Among these, artificial intelligence has emerged as a strate...

Refined delay blasting using digital electronic detonators has been widely used in rock breaking engineering, where notched borehole could control the direction of explosion-induced crack propagation. This study investig...

Due to their small thickness, high flexibility and tiny sensing element, the tactile pressure sensors can be used to measure the soil stresses and contact forces between soil particles. Hence, the tactile pressure sensor...

This article emphasizes the critical importance of public administration effectiveness during a full-scale war, highlighting the capacity of government to respond efficiently to security challenges, maintain public order...

People with dementia (PwD) face cognitive decline, placing added stress on family caregivers. Challenging behaviour, such as agitation, is one of the prominent behaviours exhibited by PwD, and family caregivers are often...

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is required for cap-dependent initiation. In addition, eIF4E occurs in cytoplasmic foci such as processing bodies (PB) and stress granules (SG). We examined the role of...

Cassava common mosaic virus (CsCMV) is a potexvirus that causes systemic infections in cassava plants, leading to chlorotic mosaic and producing significant yield losses. To date, the physiological alterations and the me...

tWe carried out a caging field experiment to assess the potential effects of an untreated sewage effluenton the health status of Prochilodus lineatus. We analyzed multiple biomarker responses, which includedmorphological...

Glucocorticoids participate in the behavioral and physiological responses generated under stressful circumstances coming from different sources—physical and/or psychological. In mammals, the increases of these hormones...

Context. Meditation incorporation helps to fight against disorders such as depression, stress, and anxiety. Specifically, few studies have studied Osho's Active Meditation on young people, but observed evidence using pas...

The function of the HPA axis is subject to regulation by many factors, which achieve relevance under normal and pathological conditions. In the case of aging, this period of life is associated with disturbances of the HP...

Fibrosis, increased amounts of immune cells and expression of COX-2 in the testes of infertility patients provide circumstantial evidence for a specific testicular milieu, in which reactive oxygen species (ROS) could be ...

Evidence of teratogenesis and mutagenesis documented in the palynological assemblages of the Middle Triassic Quebrada de los Fósiles Formation, San Rafael Depocenter (Mendoza, Argentina) provide an independent testimony...

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which catalyzes heme degradation releasing iron, regulates several processes related to breast cancer. Iron metabolism deregulation is also connected with several tumor processes. However the reg...

This study tries to elucidate the mechanisms by which fructose rich diets (FRD) inhibit the rat intestinal Ca2+ absorption, and determine if any or all underlying alterations are prevented by naringin (NAR). Male rats we...
