The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is described in the literature as a beneficial dietary pattern for neurodegenerative diseases such Multiple Sclerosis (MS). objective of this study was to evaluate habits people with MS (pwMS) and test whether adherence MD could have an impact on severity disease measured score (MSSS). Adherence assessed 31 PwMS using Screener (MEDAS), Pyramid-based Score (PyrMDS) index, Italian Index (IMI), their eating were recorded food diary one-year follow-up. When data...
Background and objectives Long lasting immune response to anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) is still largely unexplored. Our study aimed at evaluating the persistence of elicited amount neutralizing antibodies (Ab), their activity T cell after three doses vaccine pwMS. Methods We performed a prospective observational pwMS undergoing SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations. Anti-Region Binding Domain (anti-RBD) spike (S) protein immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers were...
Studies have shown a link between the downregulation of connexin 43 (Cx43), predominant isoform in cardiac gap junctions, and high susceptibility to arrhythmias cardiomyocyte death. Non-myocytic cells (NMCs), most abundant component heart, exert multiple functions represent an important therapeutic target for diseased tissue. A few studies investigated effect Apelin-13, endogenous peptide with key role various cardiovascular functions, on Cx43 expression cardiomyocytes. However, it remained...
