The iron chelators 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one (L1) and desferrioxamine (DFO) were found to induce apoptosis of proliferating activated T-lymphocytes the promyelocytic cell line HL60, but not resting peripheral blood lymphocytes or granulocytes. induction was quantified by propidium iodide staining apoptotic/dead cells flow cytometry. In incubated with at equivalent iron-binding concentrations (300 microM L1 100 DFO) for 24 h, caused a 54% increase in death DFO 57% increase. HL60 50%...
ABSTRACT Healthy midlife cognitive function (CF) reduces the risk of later decline. Emerging evidence suggests that chrono‐nutrition may be associated with CF. This cross‐sectional cohort study aimed to examine associations between behaviours and CF in adults aged 45–65 years living Cyprus. Chrono‐nutrition, including misalignments actual preferred eating times, Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence, sleep physical activity were assessed using validated questionnaires. Computerised...
Women's knowledge of the nutritional guidelines during pregnancy can affect health and status both mother child. Having good information related to maternal dietary intake healthy lifestyles is therefore great importance. However, there limited published research that demonstrates pregnant women's in Lebanon.
Background and objectives: Health care professionals (HCPs) are well-positioned to discuss healthy behaviors during pregnancy, but the published research of prenatal healthcare providers’ knowledge about significance nutrition pregnancy in Lebanon is scarce. The purpose this study was explore knowledge, attitudes, practices Lebanese providers towards pregnancy. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional using an online questionnaire conducted. were contacted by phone email participate survey. list...
The transport of deferiprone (L1) in normal (N), sickle (S) and thalassaemic (T) red blood cells (RBC) was determined by incubation with 14 C‐L1 at 37°C. Following 0.5 m for 4 h, the intracellular concentration L1 T RBC 3 times higher than found extracellularly. In contrast, no gradient across N S membranes detected. Efflux studies showed that released only 17 ± 2% into extracellular space. We hypothesize accumulation results from their high content chelatable iron formation large,...
Abstract Background Complementary feeding has long-term effects on health but there is heterogeneity in recommendations across Europe. Recommendations include responsive practices and nutritional needs a debate primary paediatricians as to which one should be the main criterion for complementary feeding. This pilot study investigated (i) factors affecting of Cyprus starting feeding, (ii) whether their developmental readiness or infant (iii) how this priority influences recommendations....
