Is Motorized Treadmill Running Biomechanically Comparable to Overground Running? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cross-Over Studies
(2019-12-04)
Background Treadmills are often used in research, clinical practice, and training. Biomechanical investigations comparing treadmill and overground running report inconsistent findings. Objective This study aimed at comparing ...
Triclosan: An Update on Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms
(2019-05-02)
Triclosan (TCS) is a synthetic, chlorinated phenolic antimicrobial agent commonly used in commercial and healthcare products.
Items made with TCS include soaps, deodorants, shampoos, cosmetics, textiles, plastics, surgical ...
Use of Multifactorial Treatments to Address the Challenge of Translating Experimental Myocardial Infarct Reduction Strategies
(2019-03-15)
Myocardial tissue damage that occurs during an ischemic event leads to a spiraling
deterioration of cardiac muscle structural and functional integrity. Reperfusion is the only known
efficacious strategy and is the most ...
Transport of Anthocyanins and other Flavonoids by the Arabidopsis ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter AtABCC2
(2019-01-24)
Flavonoids have important developmental, physiological, and ecological roles in plants and are primarily stored in the large central vacuole. Here we show that both an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter(s) and an ...
The proteome of extracellular vesicles released by clastic cells differs based on their substrate
(2019-07-10)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from osteoclasts are important regulators in intercellular communication. Here, we investigated the proteome of EVs from clastic cells plated on plastic
(clasts), bone (osteoclasts) and dentin ...
Understanding the Loss of Maternal Care in Avian Brood Parasites Using Preoptic Area Transcriptome Comparisons in Brood Parasitic and Non-parasitic Blackbirds
(2019-02-13)
Parental care is critical for offspring survival in many species. However, parental behaviors have
been lost in roughly 1% of avian species known as the obligate brood parasites. To shed light on molecular
and neurobiological ...
Tissue stiffness at the human maternal–fetal interface
(2019-10-03)
STUDY QUESTION:
What is the stiffness (elastic modulus) of human nonpregnant secretory phase endometrium, first trimester decidua, and placenta?
SUMMARY ANSWER:
The stiffness of decidua basalis, the site of placental ...
Trends and Costs Associated With Suboptimal Physical Activity Among US Women With Cardiovascular Disease
(2019-04-12)
IMPORTANCE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability among
women. Achievement of recommended physical activity (PA) levels is an essential component of
CVD management.
OBJECTIVE: To ...
The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations
(2019-05-15)
Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. ...
α-Klotho Expression in Mouse Tissues Following Acute Exhaustive Exercise
(2019-12-10)
α-Klotho, a multifunctional protein, has been demonstrated to protect tissues from
injury via anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory effects. The expression of α-klotho is
regulated by several physiological and pathological ...
