Background: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) are multipotent cells implicated in tissue homeostasis. Obesity represents a chronic inflammatory disease associated with metabolic dysfunction and age-related mechanisms, with progressive accumulation of senescent cells and compromised ADSC function. In this study, we aimed to explore mechanisms associated with the inflammatory environment present in obesity in modulating ADSC to a senescent phenotype.

Our objective was to investigate the variation of modulation and expression of biomarkers associated with inflammation in patients who underwent bariatric surgery.
Methods: We searched the MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE (via Elsevier), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (via virtual health library), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (via EBSCO), Web of Science core collection, and Scopus (via Elsevier) databases, and the gray literature was examined from inception to January 2022.
The effect of alginate edible coating and the addition of two levels of basil ( spp) on polyphenols, DPPH and ABTS activities, meat characteristics (lipid oxidation, pH, weight loss, texture, and color) during storage and on consumer acceptability were evaluated. Four treatments were developed: CON (control-without coating), AEC (with alginate edible coating), B01 (with alginate edible coating + 1% of basil extract) and B02 (with alginate edible coating + 2% of basil extract). The addition of basil increased the polyphenols and antioxidant activity of meat and reduced the lipid oxidation.

Description of a 10-year experience of a single center using sublay retromuscular mesh hernia repair in patients with ventral hernia after RYGB, including a total of 189 patients. 149 (78.

Carcass characteristics, drip loss, and antioxidant activity were evaluated 24 h post mortem on longissimus thoracis, and the effects of aging (until 14 days) were evaluated for water losses (thawing/aging and cooking), texture, color, and lipid oxidation.
Results: The use of the natural additive blend did not modify (P > 0.
