Thyroid hormones play an important role in body homeostasis by facilitating metabolism of lipids and glucose, regulating metabolic adaptations, responding to changes energy intake, controlling thermogenesis. Proper action these requires the participation various nutrients. Among them is zinc, whose interaction with thyroid complex. It known regulate both synthesis mechanism hormones. In present review, we aim shed light on regulatory effects zinc Scientific evidence shows that plays a key...
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a zoonotic, emerging disease transmitted by mosquito vectors infected with the virus (JEV). Its potential for emergence into susceptible regions high, including in United States (US), and reason of economic concern among agricultural community, to public health due high morbidity mortality rates humans. While exploring complexities interactions involved viral transmission, we proposed new outlook on role vectors, hosts environment under changing conditions. For...
White adipose tissue (WAT) is considered an endocrine organ. When present in excess, WAT can influence metabolism via biologically active molecules. Following unregulated production of such molecules, dysfunction results, contributing to complications associated with obesity. Previous studies have implicated pro- and anti-inflammatory substances the regulation inflammatory response development insulin resistance. In obese individuals, pro-inflammatory molecules produced by contribute...
The accumulation of visceral fat affects the metabolism hormones and some nutrients, but these mechanisms remain unclear.To assess influence cortisol on zinc in morbidly obese women.Cross-sectional, case-control study involving 80 women aged between 20 59 years. participants were divided into two groups: experimental (morbidly obese, n = 40) control (normal weight, 40). Zinc concentrations determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy serum urinary chemiluminescence method.Zinc intake was...
The purpose of this risk assessment (RA) was to qualitatively estimate the emergence Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) in United States (US). We followed framework for RA emerging vector-borne livestock diseases (de Vos et al. 2011), which consists a structured questionnaire, whose answers questions can be delivered categories, descriptive statements, or yes no type answers, being supported by literature. most likely pathways introduction JEV identified were: (a) entry through infected...
Abstract Background Vitamin D is a fat-soluble compound responsible for promoting intestinal absorption of calcium, and this, in turn, acts as signal transmitter or activator protein secretory processes release hormones. receptors are distributed various tissues the body involved biochemical reactions pathogenesis several diseases, such obesity. Objective The aim this article to provide updated information on role vitamin insulin resistance obese individuals. Methods It was conducted search...
The goal of this study was to compare the visual contrast sensitivity (CS) men and women exposed not organic solvents. Forty-six volunteers both genders aged between 18 41 years (mean±SD=27.72±6.28) participated. Gas station attendants were gas containing 46.30 ppm solvents at a temperature 304±274.39 K, humidity 62.25±7.59% ventilation 0.69±0.46 m/s (a passive chromatography-based sampling method used considering microclimate variables). Visual CS measured via psychophysical two-alternative...
