Whole body air displacement plethysmography compared with hydrodensitometry for body composition analysis [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2000
To assess the acceptability and feasibility of whole body air displacement plethysmography in children and to determine its precision and agreement with hydrodensitometry, an appropriate reference method.Age specific two component model equations were used to predict fat mass from body density in 22 children aged 8-12 years and in 10 adults for ...

Evaluation of the Sensory Stimulation Intensity of Representative Spicy Flavor Substances Using Whole-Body Plethysmography [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
This study aimed to investigate the impact of spicy stimuli on the respiratory status of rats inhaling aerosols of spicy substances. The intensity of spicy stimuli was characterized by examining changes in multiple respiratory function indicators ...

Inhalable ROS‐Responsive Nanospray Activates PPAR‐γ to Restore Macrophage Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Attenuate Radiation‐Induced Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nebulized nanoassembly alleviates radiation‐induced lung injury by reprogramming macrophages through coordinated ROS scavenging, NAD+ replenishment, and PPAR‐γ activation. Redox balance, mitochondrial homeostasis, and immune regulation are restored, revealing a microenvironment‐centered strategy for localized radioprotection.

An open-source tool for automated analysis of breathing behaviors in common marmosets and rodents

eLife, 2022
The respiratory system maintains homeostatic levels of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the body through rapid and efficient regulation of breathing frequency and depth (tidal volume).

SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.

Modification and Application of a Commercial Whole-body Plethysmograph to Monitor Respiratory Abnormalities in Neonatal Mice

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Proper breathing is essential for mammals to acquire oxygen after birth and requires coordinated actions among several tissues, including diaphragm, intercostal muscles, trachea, bronchi, lung and respiration-regulating neurons located in the medulla ...

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Effect of epileptogenesis on hypercapnic cardioventilatory response in kainic acid rats

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cardioventilatory failure is the leading mechanism proposed to underlie sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which occurs predominantly at night in patients with generalized tonic–clonic seizures. Interictal hypercapnic cardioventilatory responses are suggested to be involved, as they are ablated in chronically epileptic ...

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonist‐Based Agents and Body Composition: Filling More Gaps

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The last 2 decades have seen historic advances in the treatment of obesity. We are entering an era of defining obesity not by weight‐based outcomes but by changes in body composition. Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) are forming the platform for obesity treatments based on their high level of efficacy. Body composition can
