Molecular mechanisms associated to improvement of metabolic syndrome (MetS) during exercise are not fully elucidated. MetS was induced in 250 g male Wistar rats by 30% sucrose in drinking water. Control rats receiving tap water were controls, both groups received solid standard diet.

- This study examined how high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and annealing (AN) affect yellow bean starch properties, focusing on changes in morphology, crystallinity, and thermal behavior.
- The combined treatments (AN + HHP and HHP + AN) resulted in the most significant modifications, including increased granule diameter and altered surface structure, compared to untreated starch.
- Key findings revealed that while AN reduced syneresis and gelatinization temperatures, HHP improved setback values, and both methods aim to enhance starch functionality while being environmentally friendly.
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most lethal subtype of thyroid cancer, with high invasive and metastatic potential, not responding to conventional treatments. Its aggressiveness may be influenced by macrophages, which are abundant cells in the tumor microenvironment. To investigate the role of macrophages in ATC aggressiveness, indirect co-cultures were established between ATC cell lines and THP-1-derived macrophages.

Abstract: Less than 10% of primary vasculitides cause cardiac dysfunction, with Takayasu's arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis being the most common cases.
Article Synopsis
- * Hydrothermal processes increased the size and number of pores in the starch, altering its physical and structural properties, while enhancing its hydrophilic qualities.
- * The combination of hydrothermal treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis significantly reduced amylose content and further enlarged pore size, making it a promising method for developing modified cassava starches with porous surfaces.
