Current Insights into Industrial Trans Fatty Acids Legal Frameworks and Health Challenges in the European Union and Spain.

The presence of industrial trans-fatty acids (iTFAs) in processed foods poses significant public health concerns, necessitating comprehensive regulatory frameworks. In this study, the current legal landscape governing iTFA in the European Union and Spain is analyzed, with a particular focus on regulatory effectiveness and implementation challenges. The research methodology combines a systematic review of existing regulations, including EU Regulation No.

Molecular detection of hemotropic Mycoplasma and Bartonella species in lice from sheep and goats of Mexico.

The knowledge of lice associated with small ruminants, especially sheep and goats, is scarce. In Mexico, there are historical reports of six species of chewing and sucking lice associated with Capra hircus and Ovis canadensis. However, the reports did not analyze the ecology of the infestations or the presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Potassium Current Is Not Affected by Long-Term Exposure to Ghrelin or GHRP-6 in Somatotropes GC Cells.

Ghrelin is a growth hormone (GH) secretagogue (GHS) and GHRP-6 is a synthetic peptide analogue; both act through the GHS receptor. GH secretion depends directly on the intracellular concentration of Ca(2+); this is determined from the intracellular reserves and by the entrance of Ca(2+) through the voltage-dependent calcium channels, which are activated by the membrane depolarization. Membrane potential is mainly determined by K(+) channels.
