Metabolic syndrome influences cardiac gene expression pattern at the transcript level in male ZDF rats [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Metabolic syndrome (coexisting visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension) is a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, however, its effect on cardiac gene expression pattern is unclear ...

3D Printing of Stretchable, Compressible and Conductive Porous Polyurethane for Soft Robotics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printable porous dopamine‐polyurethane acrylate elastomer results in conductive, stretchable, and compressible structures that can be metallized in situ through catechol‐mediated silver reduction. The resulting material function as both compliant soft robot with a and strain sensors without complex assemblies, enabling fully 3D‐printed soft ...

Ketone Bodies as Anti-Seizure Agents [PDF]

Neurochemical Research, 2017
There is growing evidence that ketone bodies (KB)-derived from fatty acid oxidation and produced during fasting or consumption of high-fat diets-can exert broad neuroprotective effects. With respect to epilepsy, KB (such as β-hydroxybutyrate or BHB, acetoacetate and acetone) have been shown to block acutely induced and spontaneous recurrent seizures in

Effect of dietary fish oil on blood levels of free fatty acids, ketone bodies and triacylglycerol in humans [PDF]

, 1994
Although the reduction of serum triacylglycerol concentrations by dietary fish oil is a well-known effect, the exact mechanism of this effect has not been previously studied in human subjects.

Beneficial effects of the ketogenic diet on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A comprehensive review of the literature [PDF]

, 2020
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, characterized by hepatic fat accumulation and possible development of inflammation, fibrosis, and cancer. The ketogenic diet (KD), with its drastic carbohydrate reduction,
