The Influence of Omega‐3 Fatty Acids and Probiotics on Hippocampal Inflammation and Glial Cells in a Chronic Anorexia Nervosa Rat Model

open access: yesInternational Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe eating disorder associated with brain volume reduction, glial cell loss, microbiome alterations, and dysregulated pro‐inflammatory mechanisms. However, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain inadequately elucidated, and interventions addressing these alterations are lacking.

Synergistic Regulation of Mammary Gland Ferroptosis by Vitamin E and Selenium Under Environmental Heat Stress

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Sodium selenite or vitamin E supplementation enhances antioxidant defenses in mouse mammary glands, reducing oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and iron accumulation. This boosts GPX4 activity, inhibits PTGS2, and activates mTORC1, improving milk fat droplet formation and protein synthesis, with the combined treatment showing the greatest benefit ...

Wireless Communications for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

open access: yes, 2014
In this chapter, we present a novel theoretical framework suitable for analytical performance evaluation of a family of multihop broadcast protocols. The framework allows to derive several average performance metrics, including reliability, latency, and efficiency, and it is targeted to Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) applications based on an ...

Anti‐Inflammatory Effects of Flavonoids in Otitis Media: A Systematic Review of Pre‐Clinical Evidence

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Otitis media (OM) is a middle ear infection driven by chronic inflammation, leading to tissue damage and complications such as cholesteatoma. Flavonoids, a class of polyphenols with anti‐inflammatory properties, suppress key inflammatory mediators, reducing neutrophilic infiltration and mucosal thickening. These findings suggest flavonoids as potential

Intralitter Variability Influences the Developmental Impact of Valproic Acid Exposure in CD‐1 Mice

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Valproic acid (VPA) is an antiepileptic and mood‐stabilizing drug that causes teratogenic effects, including neural tube defects (NTDs), when taken during pregnancy. Although animal models are widely used to study VPA teratogenicity, most rely on litter means, which overlook variability within the litter.
