The establishment of mitotic errors-driven senescence depends on autophagy.

We and others have reported that senescence onset is accompanied by genomic instability that is evident by several defects, such as aneuploidy or erroneous mitosis features. Here, we report that these defects also appear in young cells upon oxidative insult. We provide evidence that these errors could be the consequence of oxidative stress (OS)- either exogenous or senescence-associated - overriding the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC).

Guideline Daily Amounts Versus Nutri-Score Labeling: Perceptions of Greek Consumers About Front-of-Pack Label.

Nutrition information is becoming more urgent than ever so that consumers can make informed choices when buying food. This study aimed to investigate consumers' perceptions and behavior of the front-of-pack label (FOPL), between two specific labeling systems, the Nutri-Score and the Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA). This is a post hoc analysis of data from a previous, more extensive cross-sectional study conducted from April 2021 to June 2021.

Sugars, Alcohol, and Caffeine Intake From Drinks Among Outpatients With Mental Health Disorders in Greece: A Pilot Study.

Background and aim Excessive intake of sugars and energy from drinks has been postulated to increase the risk of obesity, which may in turn be associated with mental health disorders. In addition, excessive intakes of alcohol and caffeine may co-occur with psychiatric disorders. The purpose of the present pilot study was to estimate energy, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol intakes through the consumption of drinks in patients with schizophrenia and affective disorders and assess potential differences in drink consumption between the two disorders.

Increased Body Mass Index (BMI) and Sunscreen Use Are Associated with Inadequate Vitamin D Status in Greek Adults in Winter : BMI, Sunscreen Use and Vitamin D Status in Greek Adults.

Vitamin D deficiency is common even in sunny countries like Greece, especially during winter and is associated with skeletal disorders and additionally with increased risk for chronic diseases and adipose metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. The purpose of this pilot study was the determination of vitamin D status in Greek adults and the investigation of possible correlation with lifestyles and somatometric characteristics. The study was conducted during winter and included 36 members (20 women and 16 men) of a university community in central Greece (latitude 39.
