The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been recommended for type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment. impact of in shaping the gut microbiota is well known, particularly MD. However, link between MD and outcome improvement not completely clear. This study aims to evaluate role modulation by a nonpharmacological intervention patients with T2D. In this 12-week single-arm pilot study, nine participants received individual nutritional counseling sessions promoting Gut microbiota, biochemical parameters, body...
Lipid droplets (LD) in porcine oocytes form a dark mass reaching almost all cytoplasm. Herein we investigated changes fat areas, cytoplasmic tone and LD morphology during vitro maturation (IVM) of cultured with 100 μM trans-10, cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (t10,c12 CLA) or 10 forskolin at different time periods. Four groups were constituted: control, excipient, t10,c12 CLA forskolin, drugs being supplemented 44 to 48 h the initial 22 24 Experiments 1 2, respectively. In Experiment 3, was...
Daily variations in the concentration of albumin, creatinine, non-esterified fatty acids, globulins, glucose, total lipids, protein, triglycerides, urea, β-hydroxybutyrate, and activity alkaline phosphatases, aspartate aminotransferase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate isocitrate dehydrogenase pyruvate kinase were evaluated serum or plasma ewes fed 30, 100 200% theoretical maintenance energy requirements. A daily profile was observed almost all variables, which may be importance...
We intend to estimate Saloia breed rams fertility and its variation coefficients (VC) after cervical artificial insemination (AI) with refrigerated (SR) or frozen semen (SC). In experiment 1, we studied the seasonal effect of AI (spring vs. autumn) on (n=5 rams) using SR. The freezing (autumn winter, n=3 ewes inseminated in spring was also tested SC. Variations ram either SF SC were determined independently seasons (experiment 2: (n=4), same rams; 3: SF=16, FS=5 rams). No differences found...
Several techniques have been described for maxillary sinus graft augmentation, including the lateral window technique and crestal approach with osteotomes or osseodensification. Platelet-rich fibrin has used in lift procedures due to its ability accelerate soft hard tissue healing. The aim of this study was evaluate potential PRF combination synthetic hydroxyapatite NanoBone
