Evaluation of cardiac histology and cell death markers during the progression of diabetes in a streptozotocin‐induced diabetes rat model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Daily insulin administration in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats prevented cardiac damage associated with diabetic cardiomyopathy, including hypertrophy, fibrosis, and expression of cell death markers, at 12 weeks. However, cyclophilin D, a marker of mitochondrial permeability transition pore‐opening‐associated cell death (necrosis), was observed ...

On the Distributional Consequences of Epidemics [PDF]

We develop a tractable general theory for the study of the economic and demographic impact of epidemics, and notably its distributional consequences. To this end, we develop a three-period overlapping generations model where altruistic parents choose ...

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...
