Long PtCo hollow nanowires with ultrathin wall thicknesses of only 2–4 nm (to the best our knowledge, these are thinnest walls by similar methods) show significantly well-preserved durability for oxygen reduction reaction.

Lipoprotein(a) is an inherent CVD risk biomarker that varies by race, and the levels of Lp(a) in Saudi women are relatively unexplored. We aimed to examine effect age menopause on explore correlation between adiposity cardiometabolic factors with women. The third aim was determine predictors elevated this population. In cross-sectional study 229 women, we compared serum levels, indices, lipid glycemic profiles menopausal groups. used immunoturbidimetry measure BIA assess body composition....

Adiponectin and resistin are adipokines involved in insulin resistance, glucometabolic control adiposity. There is evidence that hypoadiponectinemia hyperresistinemia associated with cardiovascular disease. Whether the ratio of Adiponectin-Resistin (AR) Insulin Resistance (IRAR) indices can be used as non-invasive biomarker disease needs more attention. Therefore, aim this study was to assess relationships AR IRAR adiposity, risk incurred by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)...
