In order to assess the synthesis of collagen, levels of hydroxyproline were measured. Our results have shown that the model of traumatic injury induces a significant increase in serum creatine kinase activity, hydroxyproline content, superoxide anion production, TBARS level, and … Continue reading →

We find that besides structural disorder those matrix atoms with dangling and floating bonds contribute to energy levels close to the Fermi level. From a comparative analysis of calculated optical spectra we conclude that the difference in optical properties between … Continue reading →

Conclusions: Galactose consumption is associated with higher endogenous fat mobilization and oxidation during meal absorption. Long-term studies are required to determine whether galactose as an exclusive carbohydrate source would promote body fat loss in obese subjects. Am J Clin Nutr … Continue reading →

Objective: We hypothesised that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in specific genes may result in a clinical phenotype conducive to an increased risk of LID.
