Cardiovascular Properties of the Androgen‐Induced PCOS Model in Rats: The Role of Oxidative Stress

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaced reproductive endocrinopathy affecting 6‐20% of women of childbearing age. It was previously shown that women with PCOS have an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiodynamic parameters of isolated rats’ hearts, blood pressure levels, and ...

Development of zeaxanthin‐rich tomato fruit through genetic manipulations of carotenoid biosynthesis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 18, Issue 11, Page 2292-2303, November 2020., 2020
Summary The oxygenated carotenoid zeaxanthin provides numerous benefits to human health due to its antioxidant properties. Especially it is linked to protecting, together with the xanthophyll lutein, the retina in the human eye by filtering harmful blue light thus delaying the progression of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD), the most prevalent ...

Sjögren‐Larsson syndrome: The mild end of the phenotypic spectrum

JIMD Reports, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 61-70, May 2020., 2020
Abstract Sjögren‐Larsson syndrome (SLS) is a rare inborn error of lipid metabolism. The syndrome is caused by mutations in the ALDH3A2 gene, resulting in a deficiency of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase. Most patients have a clearly recognizable severe phenotype, with congenital ichthyosis, intellectual disability, and spastic diplegia.
