Infrared thermography for normal endothelial function screening.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) suspicion will allow to prevent accelerated atherosclerosis and premature death.

Objective: To establish the usefulness of thermography for endothelial function screening in adults with cardiovascular risk factors.

Material And Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical diagnostic test.

Recognition of the interaction between the bioactive peptide Val-Pro-Pro and the minimal promoter region of genes SOD and CAT using QCM-D and docking studies.

Bioactive peptides are biomolecules involved in very diverse mechanisms . It has been reported that bioactive peptides play a very important role in the regulation of physiological functions such as oxidative stress, hypertension, cancer and inflammation. It's been reported that the milk derived peptide (VPP) prevents the progress of hypertension in different animal models and human beings with mild hypertension.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Ethanolic Extract from (Bertol.) DC., Quercetin, and Anti-Obesity Drugs in Adipose Tissue in Wistar Rats with Diet-Induced Obesity.

Obesity is characterized by the excessive accumulation of fat, which triggers a low-grade chronic inflammatory process. Currently, the search for compounds with anti-obesogenic effects that help reduce body weight, as well as associated comorbidities, continues. Among this group of compounds are plant extracts and flavonoids with a great diversity of action mechanisms associated with their beneficial effects, such as anti-inflammatory effects and/or as signaling molecules.

Biosensor of Inflammation Biomarkers Based on Electrical Bioimpedance Analysis on Immobilized DNA Without Chemical Modification.

The development of biosensors to identify molecular markers or specific genes is fundamental for the implementation of new techniques that allow the detection of specific Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences in a fast, economic and simple way. Different detection techniques have been proposed in the development of biosensors. Electrical Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (EBiS) has been used for diagnosis and monitoring of human pathologies, and is recognized as a safe, fast, reusable, easy and inexpensive technique.
