11-β Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 expression in white adipose tissue is strongly correlated with adiposity
(Elsevier, 2007)Glucocorticoid action within the cells is regulated by the levels of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression and two enzymes, 11-β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1), which converts inactive to active glucocorticoids, ... -
Weight gain induced by high-fat feeding involves increased liver oxidative stress
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2012)Objective: To assess the effects of high-fat feeding on white adipose tissue gene expression and liver oxidative stress.Research Methods and Procedures: Male Wistar rats were fed on standard pelleted or high-fat diet to ... -
Epinephrine-Induced Reduction in Insulin Receptor mRNA Level and Stability in U-937 Human Promonocytic Cells
(Thieme E-Journals, 1998)The administration of 10-5 M epinephrine transiently decreased insulin receptor (IR) mRNA levels in U-937 human promonocytic cells, which reached their minimum value after 24 hours. Such a decrease seems to be due, at least ... -
In vivo tissue specific modulation of rat insulin receptor gene expression in an experimental model of mineralocorticoid excess
(Springer Nature Link, 1998)Insulin receptor (IR) gene expression at the mRNA level was investigated in hindlimb skeletal muscle, epididymal adipose tissue and in the liver of rats exposed to prolonged in vivo administration of deoxycorticosterone ... -
Aldosterone impairs insulin responsiveness in U-937 human promonocytic cells via the downregulation of its own receptor
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2002)n an earlier study, we have reported an inhibition of insulin receptor (IR) mRNA levels and insulin binding by aldosterone in U-937 human promonocytic cells. In the present extension of our studies, we demonstrate that ... -
Consumer perception and physicochemical characterization of a new product made from lactic acid fermented orange peels
(Elsevier, 2023)A new product made from orange peels discarded from juice making has been characterized during the present study. In order to reduce its bitterness, orange peel was fermented during 10 days in two different sugary brines ... -
Diet and Microbiota in the Elderly
(Elsevier, 2022)Minimizing the age-associated physiological decline and comorbidities represents a major scientific challenge for the next decades. The importance of diet for maintaining health along aging is well recognized. Recently the ... -
The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics' resources: focus on curated databases
(Oxford academic, 2015)The SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (www.isb-sib.ch) provides world-class bioinformatics databases, software tools, services and training to the international life science community in academia and industry. These ... -
Vitamin C Supplementation Influences Body Fat Mass and Steroidogenesis-Related Genes when Fed a High-Fat Diet
(Hogrefe AG, 2008)An enhanced oxidative stress status has been documented in obese patients and animal models, and a depletion of the antioxidant mechanisms in these conditions is a common feature. Therefore, we have tested the hypothesis ... -
Inhibition by aldosterone of insulin receptor mRNA levels and insulin binding in U-937 human promonocytic cells
(Elsevier, 1999)The effect of aldosterone on insulin receptor (IR) expression was investigated in U-937 human promonocytic cells. The putative involvement of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) was also analysed. Aldosterone binding assays ... -
Cross-talk between glucocorticoid and retinoic acid signals involving glucocorticoid receptor interaction with the homoeodomain protein Pbx1 Available to Purchase
(Biochemical society, 2003)Glucocorticoid (GC) signalling influences the response of the cell to a number of other signals via a mechanism referred to as ‘cross-talk'. This cross-talk may act at several levels, including an interaction between the ... -
Adiposity dependent apelin gene expression: relationships with oxidative and inflammation markers
(Springer Nature Link, 2007)It has been reported that apelin functions as an adipokine, which has been associated to obesity and insulin resistance. The objective of this study was to analyze the apelin mRNA expression in white adipose tissue ... -
Diferential gene expression and adiposity reduction induced by ascorbic acid supplementation in a cafeteria model of obesity
(Springer Nature Link, 2006)Obesity is considered as an inflammatory disease, in which free radical-induced oxidative stress and excessive intake of macronutrients exacerbate their symptoms. In this context, we assessed in rats the possible preventive ... -
Ketoconazole, an Antifungal Agent, Protects Against Adiposity Induced by a Cafeteria Diet
(2004)Ketoconazole, an anti-glucocorticoid agent, is widely used in humans as an antifungal agent. It inhibits ergosterol synthesis and reduces cortisol levels in the treatment of Cushing’s Syndrome. The aim of this work was to ... -
Tissue-specific modulation of insulin receptor mRNA levels in adrenaline-treated rats
(Springer Nature Link, 1997-04)Insulin receptor (IR) gene expression at the mRNA level was investigated in liver, hindlimb skeletal muscle, and epididymal adipose tissue of rats exposed to prolonged in vivo administration of adrenaline in relation to ... -
The Effects of Agave Fructans in a Functional Food Consumed by Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2023)Irritable bowel syndrome displays three different subtypes: constipation (IBS-C), diarrhea (IBS-D), and mixed (IBS-M). Treatment with dietary fiber is used, with consideration given both to the chemical composition of the ... -
Role of bifidobacteria on infant health
(MDPI, 2021)Bifidobacteria are among the predominant microorganisms during infancy, being a dominant microbial group in the healthy breastfed infant and playing a crucial role in newborns and infant development. Not only the levels ... -
The effect of the Mediterranean diet on plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels: The PREDIMED-NAVARRA randomized trial
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)Objectives There are no human studies assessing the effect of nutritional interventions on plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations. The aim of this study was to assess the role of a nutritional ... -
Physical activity and sex modulate obesity risk linked to 3111T/C gene variant of the CLOCK gene in an elderly population: the SUN Project
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Genetic factors may interact with physical activity levels to modify obesity risk. Our aim was to explore the effect of rs1801260 SNP (3111T/C) of CLOCK gene, on obesity risk and to examine their interaction with lifestyle ... -
