Reconfigurable multiplexed point of care system for monitoring type 1 diabetes patients
(Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2019-07)
At the point of care (POC), on-side clinical testing allows fast biomarkers determination even in resource-limited environments. Current POC systems rely on tests selective to a single analyte or complex ...
Hypothalamic endocannabinoids inversely correlate with the development of diet-induced obesity in male and female mice
(Journal of Lipid Research, 2019-07)
The endocannabinoid (eCB) system regulates energy homeostasis and is linked to obesity development. However, the exact dynamic and regulation of eCBs in the hypothalamus during obesity progression remain ...
Pomace olive oil concentrated in triterpenic acids restores vascular function, glucose tolerance and obesity progression in mice
(Nutrients, 2020-01)
Pomace olive oil, an olive oil sub-product, is a promising source of bioactive triterpenoids such as oleanolic acid and maslinic acid. Considering the vascular actions of pomace olive oil and the potential ...
Potential vasorelaxant effects of oleanolic acid and erythrodiol, two triterpenoids contained in ‘orujo’ olive oil, on rat aorta
(British Journal of Nutrition, 2004)
‘Orujo’ olive oil is obtained by chemical processes from the waste resulting from the mechanical extraction of virgin olive oil. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a new pharmacological property ...
A self-calibrating and multiplexed electrochemical lab-on-a-chip for cell culture analysis and high-resolution imaging
(Lab on a Chip, 2020)
In vitro analysis requires cell proliferation in conditions close to physiological ones. Lab-on-a-chip (LoC) devices simplify, miniaturize and automate traditional protocols, with the advantages of being ...
Ultrasensitive photonic microsystem enabling sub-micrometric monitoring of arterial oscillations for advanced cardiovascular studies
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2019-07-23)
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death globally. Their early diagnosis requires ultrasensitive tools enabling the detection of minor structural and functional alterations in small arteries. ...
CPT1C in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus is necessary for brown fat thermogenesis activation in obesity
(Molecular Metabolism, 2019-01)
Objective: Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) is implicated in central regulation of energy homeostasis. Our aim was to investigate whether CPT1C in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus ...
