Advances in cholesterol and lipoproteins detection for healthcare: A review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cholesterol is one of the main biomarkers related to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Its detection still relies on traditional methods of analysis, such as gas and liquid chromatographies. Detection of free cholesterol in saliva with redox or enzymatic sensors or detection of lipoproteins in blood with aptamer sensors are currently the most

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

First Non‐Invasive Monitoring of Fecal Steroids in Greater Caribbean Manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
This study established the first fecal hormonal reference values (P4/E2) for the Greater Caribbean manatee. Using non‐invasive ELISA, the authors found no significant differences between mature and immature females, highlighting that long‐term monitoring and ultrasounds are essential to fully understand their complex reproductive cycles.

The effects of moderate alcohol supplementation on estrone sulfate and DHEAS in postmenopausal women in a controlled feeding study

Nutrition Journal, 2004
Background We have demonstrated that moderate alcohol consumption (15 g/d, 30 g/d) for 8 weeks resulted in significantly increased levels of serum estrone sulfate and DHEAS in 51 postmenopausal women in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

The Role of Vaginal Oestrogen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Does It Have Any Impact on Perioperative Outcomes? A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects up to 50% of postmenopausal women, negatively impacting sexual function and quality of life. While surgery remains the primary treatment, increasing attention has been given to perioperative vaginal oestrogen therapy and its potential impact on surgical outcomes.
