Ramadan Fasting Model Exerts Hepatoprotective, Anti-obesity, and Anti-Hyperlipidemic Effects in an Experimentally-induced Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver in Rats [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Background: The epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its metabolic effects present a serious public health concern. We hypothesized that the Ramadan fasting model (RFM), which involves fasting from dawn to dusk for a month, could provide potential therapeutic benefits and mitigate NAFLD.

To estimate salivary aspartate aminotransferase levels in chronic gingivitis and chronic periodontitis patients prior to and following non-surgical periodontal therapy: A clinico-biochemical study

Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2014
Context: Saliva can be used as a diagnostic fluid in dentistry. Various enzymes have been proposed as markers for periodontal destruction. One of them is aspartate aminotransferase, for which salivary analysis can offer a cost-effective approach for ...

Engineered MSC Aggregates with E/N‐Cadherin and IL‐6 Preconditioning for the Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered 3D‐Cad/IL6‐MSC, developed through synergistic hE/N‐cad‐Fc and IL‐6 preconditioning, show remarkable therapeutic potential for systemic sclerosis. These engineered MSC aggregates reduce pathogenic inflammatory cell infiltration and restore immune balance among CD4+ T‐cell populations, offering a promising approach to optimize MSC based ...

Physical activity is prospectively associated with adolescent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [PDF]

, 2015
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess whether objectively measured physical activity at mean ages 12 and 14 years are prospectively associated with ultrasound scan liver fat and stiffness (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate ...

Positioning Crenarchaeal tRNA-Introns [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
We precisely position a noncanonical intron in the odd second copy of tRNAAsp(GTC) gene in the newly sequenced crenarchaea S.acidocaldarius. The uniform assortment of some features from normal aspartate tDNA and some from those corresponding to non-standard amino acids conduce us to conjecture it to be a novel tRNA gene, probably coding for a modified ...

Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.

Hepatitis induced by noni juice from Morinda citrifolia: A rare cause of hepatotoxicity or the tip of the iceberg? [PDF]

, 2006
A 24-year-old female patient presented to her community hospital with mild elevations of serum transaminase and bilirubin levels. Because of multiple sclerosis, she was treated with interferon beta-la for 6 weeks.

The Biosynthetic Order of Amino Acid Addition to the Genetic Code [PDF]

arXiv, 2002
The previously formulated model for the evolution of the genetic code was shown to clarify why base triplets of some precursor amino acids differ by a single base from product amino acid codons, while others show less homology. First, the model indicated that the direction of code evolution changed on expansion from the N-fixers code (stage 2).

A Mathematical Description of Bacterial Chemotaxis in Response to Two Stimuli [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Bacteria are often exposed to multiple stimuli in complex environments, and their efficient chemotactic decisions are critical to survive and grow in their native environments. Bacterial responses to the environmental stimuli depend on the ratio of their corresponding chemoreceptors.

Extending integrate-and-fire model neurons to account for the effects of weak electric fields and input filtering mediated by the dendrite [PDF]

, 2016
How extracellular electric fields, as generated endogenously or through transcranial brain stimulation, affect the dynamics of large neuronal populations is of great interest but not well understood. To study the collective dynamics of large populations single-compartment (point) model neurons have been proven very successful.
