Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disease that lead to an increase in the intestinal absorption and decreased biliary excretion plant sterols. It caused by mutations ABCG5 ABCG8 genes, encoring sterolin-1 sterolin-2 protein. The main clinical manifestations are xanthomas, premature atherosclerosis, arthralgia and, of note, hematological alterations. As many other systemic diseases, may be only notable finding, for this reason we want highlight importance multidisciplinary work...
Nanoplastics (NPs) and microplastics (MPs) are an emerging threat to global health. They negatively impact ecosystems many physiological processes, causing alterations in xenobiotic metabolism, nutrient uptake, energy or cytotoxicity. In humans, we beginning analyze these plastics for the mechanisms by which they enter organism, accumulate, diffuse as well their pathogenic potential. NP accumulation has been demonstrated human tissues, such blood placenta, while others it remains largely...
