Central regulation of brown fat thermogenesis in response to saturated or unsaturated long-chain fatty acids
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023)Sensing of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) in the hypothalamus modulates energy balance, and its disruption leads to obesity. To date, the effects of saturated or unsaturated LCFA on hypothalamic-brown ... -
To be or not to be a fat burner, that is the question for cpt1c in cancer cells
(Cell Death & Disease, 2023)There is an urgent need to identify reliable genetic biomarkers for accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of different tumor types. Described as a prognostic marker for many tumors is the neuronal ... -
Variation in nicotine metabolization according to biological factors and type of nicotine consumer
(Healthcare, 2023)This study aims to describe the nicotine metabolite ratio among tobacco smokers and electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) users and nonusers. We analyzed pooled data from a longitudinal and a cross-sectional ... -
Cpt1c downregulation causes plasma membrane remodelling and anthracycline resistance in breast cancer
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023)Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. While the main systemic treatment option is anthracycline-containing chemotherapy, chemoresistance continues to be an obstacle to ... -
Assessing inter-limb asymmetries in soccer players: magnitude, direction and association with performance
(Journal of Human Kinetics, 2021)In this study, we aimed to analyze the magnitude and direction of inter-limb asymmetries in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), power (using iso-inertial devices), and a neuromuscular skill (change ... -
Improvement of in-school physical activity with active school-based interventions to interrupt prolonged sitting: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023)Background: Sedentary behaviors have increased in recent years and their consequences have led the World Health Organization to make recommendations for promoting a more active lifestyle. The school ... -
Interventions to improve adherence to reporting guidelines in health research: a scoping review protocol
(BMJ Open, 2017)There is evidence that the use of some reporting guidelines, such as the Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials, is associated with improved completeness of reporting in health research. However, ... -
