[Cognitive performance of preschoolers with Congenital Hypothyroidism enrolled in a follow-up program].

Unlabelled: The age at treatment initiation is decisive for limiting the neurological sequelae of Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH). Incorporating children into follow-up programs could be very helpful.

Objective: To evaluate the cognitive performance of preschool children with CH incorporated into a follow- up program.

Effects in air-exposed corn silage of medium chain fatty acids on select spoilage microbes, zoonotic pathogens, and rumen fermentation.

Medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) treatment (0.75% C6, hexanoic; C8, octanoic; C10, decanoic; or equal proportion mixtures of C6:C8:C10:C12 or C8:C10/g; C12 = dodecanoic acid) of aerobically-exposed corn silage on spoilage and pathogenic microbes and rumen fermentation were evaluated . After 24 h aerobic incubation (37 °C), microbial enumeration revealed 3 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g fewer ( = 0.

Epigallocatechin 3-gallate inhibits the plasma membrane Ca-ATPase: effects on calcium homeostasis.

Flavonoids are natural compounds responsible for the health benefits of green tea. Some of the flavonoids present in green tea are catechins, among which are: epigallocatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epicatechin, catechin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The latter was found to induce apoptosis, reduce reactive oxygen species, in some conditions though in others it acts as an oxidizing agent, induce cell cycle arrest, and inhibit carcinogenesis.
