Effects of patent foramen ovale in migraine: a metabolomics‐based study
Abstract figure legend Aura, cystatin‐C and calcium are biomarkers of PFO in migraine. PFO closure relieves migraine by regulating 5‐HT metabolism and redox reactions, especially in the posterior head. cTTE, contrast‐transthoracic echocardiography; DESI‐MSI, desorption electrospray ionization mass imaging; H&E, haematoxylin and eosin; PFO, patent ...

Rapid hepatic clearance of full length CCN-2/CTGF: a putative role for LRP1-mediated endocytosis [PDF]
CCN-2 (connective tissue growth factor; CTGF) is a key factor in fibrosis. Plasma CCN-2 has biomarker potential in numerous fibrotic disorders, but it is unknown which pathophysiological factors determine plasma CCN-2 levels.

Inter-study reproducibility of arterial spin labelling magnetic resonance imaging for measurement of renal perfusion in healthy volunteers at 3 Tesla [PDF]
Background: Measurement of renal perfusion is a crucial part of measuring kidney function. Arterial spin labelling magnetic resonance imaging (ASL MRI) is a non-invasive method of measuring renal perfusion using magnetised blood as endogenous contrast ...

Abstract Olive oil polyphenol hydroxytyrosol (HT) significantly repairs intestinal barrier function, but its absorption in the stomach and small intestine is limited. The metabolites of unabsorbed HT that reach the colon are crucial, yet their effects on colonic microbiota and intestinal barrier repair remain unclear.

Evaluation of the transporter-mediated herb-drug interaction potential of DA-9801, a standardized dioscorea extract for diabetic neuropathy, in human in vitro and rat in vivo [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Drug transporters play important roles in the absorption, distribution, and elimination of drugs and thereby, modulate drug efficacy and toxicity. With a growing use of poly pharmacy, concurrent administration of herbal extracts that modulate
