Loss of Caveolin-1 Is Associated with a Decrease in Beta Cell Death in Mice on a High Fat Diet
(2020-07-23)Elevated free fatty acids (FFAs) impair beta cell function and reduce beta cell mass as a consequence of the lipotoxicity that occurs in type 2 diabetes (T2D). We previously reported that the membrane protein caveolin-1 ... -
Maternal supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia associates with endothelial dysfunction of the placental microvasculature
(2018-12-01)Maternal physiological or supraphysiological hypercholesterolemia (MPH, MSPH) occurs during pregnancy. MSPH is associated with foetal endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. However, the potential effects of MSPH on ... -
Occurrence of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in marine plastic litter from coastal areas of Central Chile
(2021-11)Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) were determined in marine plastic litter (MPL) on six beaches of central Chile. MPL was characterized physically and chemically, showing an abundance of macroplastic (size >2.5 cm). ... -
Whole-brain neuronal MCT2 lactate transporter expression links metabolism to human brain structure and function
(2022-08-16)Brain activity is constrained by local availability of chemical energy, which is generated through compartmentalized metabolic processes. By analyzing data of whole human brain gene expression, we characterize the spatial ... -
Depth-Dependent Diversity Patterns of Rocky Subtidal Macrobenthic Communities Along a Temperate Fjord in Northern Chilean Patagonia
(2021-05-04)Understanding the distribution of biodiversity along environmental gradients allows us to predict how communities respond to natural and anthropogenic impacts. In fjord ecosystems, the overlap of strong salinity and ... -
PDGF-BB Preserves Mitochondrial Morphology, Attenuates ROS Production, and Upregulates Neuroglobin in an Astrocytic Model Under Rotenone Insult
(2018-04-01)Platelet-derived growth factor, subtype BB (PDGF-BB) is a mitogenic growth factor produced in different cell types such as platelets, fibroblasts, neurons, and astrocytes. Previous reports have shown that different PDGF ... -
Efficient switched-capacitor multilevel inverters for high-power solar photovoltaic systems
(2022-08-17)Switched-capacitor multilevel inverters are suitable topologies for renewable and sustainable energy due to a low number of dc-link voltages. This article presents two extendable configurations for switched-capacitor ... -
Escherichia coli 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase aids in tellurite resistance by reducing the toxicant in a NADPH-dependent manner
(2015-08-01)Exposure to the tellurium oxyanion tellurite (TeO32-) results in the establishment of an oxidative stress status in most microorganisms. Usually, bacteria growing in the presence of the toxicant turn black because of the ... -
Enhanced metal recovery by efficient agglomeration of precipitates in an up-flow fixed-bed bioreactor
(2021-07-15)In this study, a single-stage up-flow fixed-bed sulfidogenic bioreactor was operated for 288 days (six stages), treating mine-impacted water at different concentrations of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) and other associated ... -
Dehydroascorbic acid, the oxidized form of vitamin C, improves renal histology and function in old mice
(2020-12-01)Oxidative stress and inflammation are crucial factors that increase with age. In the progression of multiple age-related diseases, antioxidants and bioactive compounds have been recognized as useful antiaging agents. ... -
