Altered stress responses in adults born by Caesarean section [PDF]
peer-reviewedBirth by Caesarean-section (C-section), which increases the risk for metabolic and immune disorders, disrupts the normal initial microbial colonisation of the gut, in addition to preventing early priming of the stress and immune-systems ...

Lipopolysaccharide, high glucose and saturated fatty acids induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured primary human adipocytes : salicylate alleviates this stress [PDF]
Recent findings indicate that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is significantly increased in adipose tissue of obese human subjects and is critical to the initiation and integration of pathways of inflammation and insulin action.

Increased percentages of regulatory T cells are associated with inflammatory and neuroendocrine responses to acute psychological stress and poorer health status in older men and women. [PDF]
The percentage of regulatory T cells (TRegs)-a subtype of T lymphocyte that suppresses the immune response-appears to be reduced in a number of stress-related diseases.

Biologic response of animals to husbandry stress with implications for biomedical models [PDF]
Peer-reviewedThe quality of life of animals is defined by a range of parameters including health, physiology, and behavior. Stress is defined as any damaging strain, force, or agent which stimulates a physiologic defense reaction and is capable under ...

T-stress in edge-cracked specimens [PDF]
The first regular stress term of the crack-tip stress field, the so-called T-stress, has an influence on the fracture behaviour of cracked components. Whilst for the singular stress term - represented by the stress intensity factor - handbook solutions ...

Effect of the Material Gradation on the Fracture Trajectory in Ceramic/Metal Functionally Graded Materials [PDF]
This paper is based on a 2D numerical study of crack initiation and growth in ceramic/metal functionally graded materials (FGMs) under mixed mode condition. The finite element method is used for modeling the crack growth trajectory.

Ozone Pollution, Oxidative Stress, Regulatory T Cells and Antioxidants
Ozone pollution, is a serious health problem worldwide. Repeated exposure to low ozone doses causes a loss of regulation of the oxidation–reduction systems, and also induces a chronic state of oxidative stress.
