Article Synopsis
- - An analysis of tourism in the Tremiti Islands (TI) highlights that high tourist activity, especially in August, leads to significant territorial exploitation, with many arrivals but low occupancy rates.
- - The study addresses the impact of climate change on the islands, noting rising air and sea temperatures, and proposes measures to promote sustainable tourism.
- - A calculation of CO emissions from ferry transport and waste management is included, along with a proposed environmental tax of 1.47 €/capita aimed at reducing CO emissions, which could be positively received if funds are used for environmental initiatives.
Neuronal communication relies on precisely maintained synaptic vesicle (SV) clusters, which assemble via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). This process requires synapsins, the major synaptic phosphoproteins, which are known to bind actin. The reorganization of SVs, synapsins and actin is a hallmark of synaptic activity, but their interplay is still unclear.

(1) Background: The effect of natural molecules on oxidative stress in hyperlipidemic rats, taking statins, was observed. (2) Methods: One hundred and twelve white Wistar rats, males and females, were divided into seven: Group I received 20 mg of atorvastatin while groups II and III received a combination of 20 mg of atorvastatin and 100 mg of Sea buckthorn and grape extract.
