Variants of the opioid receptors are obvious candidates underlying addiction. The kappa receptor (KOR) system seems to play a role in stress responsivity, opiate withdrawal and responses psycho-stimulants, inhibiting mesolimbic dopamine. KOR gene polymorphisms have been reported contribute predisposition voluntary alcohol-drinking behavior experimental animals. In humans, 36G > T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on gene, that was recently identified, has found associate with substance...
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) represents a prominent cause of infant death in many countries. Epidemiological data has been variable over time because the related International Classification Diseases (ICD) code is not consistent throughout countries changed years. The prevalence SIDS unclear, with estimates that do reflect number patients who actually died from SIDS. This paper aims to assess trend Italy Europe during 2011–2018, factors contributing...
Genetic and sociodemographic risk factors potentially associated with cannabis use (CU) were investigated in 40 users 96 control subjects. DNA methylation analyses also performed to explore the possibility of epigenetic changes related CU. We conducted a candidate gene association study that included variants involved dopaminergic (ANKK1, NCAM1 genes) endocannabinoid (CNR1, CNR2 gene) pathways. Sociodemographic data gender, marital status, level education, body mass index. used MeDIP-qPCR...
A variety of studies evidenced a relationship between drug use disorders and sexual dysfunction. In particular, heroin opioid agonist medications to treat dependence have been found be associated with erectile dysfunction reduced libido. Controversial findings also indicate the possibility factors other than pharmacological effects drugs concurring With present study, we investigated link long-term exposure receptor stimulation (heroin dependence, methadone maintenance treatment, dosage),...
Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction has been reported to be involved in vulnerability alcohol and drug dependence humans, possibly underlying both addictive behaviour depression susceptibility. The aim of the present study was investigate possible interactions between childhood adverse experiences, depressive symptoms HPA function addicted patients, comparison with healthy control. Eighty-two abstinent heroin or cocaine dependent patients 44 normal controls, matched for age...
The capacity of HDL to induce cell cholesterol efflux is considered one its main antiatherogenic properties. Little known about the impact such function on vascular physiology. We investigated relationship between ABCA1-dependent serum (CEC), an functionality indicator, and pulse wave velocity (PWV), indicator arterial stiffness. Serum 167 healthy subjects was used conduct CEC measurement, carotid-femoral PWV measured with a high-fidelity tonometer. J774 macrophages, labeled...
Background. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) increases the risk of atherosclerosis but this may differ between metabolically- vs. genetically-driven NAFLD. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-mediated cholesterol efflux (CEC) and plasma loading capacity (CLC) are key factors in atherogenesis. Aims. To test whether CEC CLC genetically-determined Methods: were measured 19 patients with metabolic NAFLD wild-type PNPLA3 genotype (Group M), 10 genetic carrying M148M G), controls wild-types...
Abstract Low parental care during childhood, a pattern characteristic of an “affectionless control” rearing style was frequently reported in the history addicted individuals. Parents' childrearing regimes and children's genetic predispositions, with their own behavioral characteristics, have been seen to be closely interwoven, probably affecting development addictive behavior susceptibility. In present study, parents perception, aggressive personality traits, genotype (serotonin transporter...
Abstract This article looks at the key factors affecting connection between peasant family size and farm in Italy 1930–1931. The association was analyzed using a new dataset merging data drawn from both Population Census of 1931 Agriculture 1930. We found strict size, here considered as production unit, surface area farm. results seem to correspond different causal relationship according access land, form tenure. In some contexts, where sharecropping widespread, defines family. others small...
ABSTRACT The article explores the roles of household compositional factors and socio-economic status on widowhood remarriage. By using micro-level data from a nineteenth-century Italian community for period 1819–1859, we found evidence very predominant role structure in decision to remarry both widows widowers. In particular, interplay between presence supportive family network coresiding children previous marriages stood out as key factors. aged 12 under promoted search new bride widowers,...
