Another major factor that may contribute to male infertility is exposure to excessive heat at the workplace or due to climate change. Temperature plays a crucial role in maintaining normal spermatogenesis in testes. The scrotal temperature is 2–4 °C lower than the core body temperature [101,1...
There is no correlation of the attachment results at these early stages with the surface area available to the cells on the samples (Table 2), which confirms that pore geometry is the factor in the cell's decision to attach, rather than the surface area. At 24 h there is a negative ...
Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound found in red wine and grapes, can reduce blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin II through the modulation of NF-κB signaling in murine models [121,122]. Furthermore, it has been proposed as an anti-atherogenic factor [121,122]. The effects of polyphenols...
LDL-C is a known causal factor for ASCVD, [17, 18] whereas the role of TG in ASCVD causation remains debated [19]. Although several studies conducted recently, including observational studies, [20,21,22] a post hoc analysis of a trial, [23] and Mendelian randomization studies, [24,25,...

However, the type of asphaltene had little impact on the MMP, and the controlling factor was the amount of asphaltene in the oil. Moreover, although cubic EoSs are particularly popular for their simplicity and accuracy in predicting the behavior of hydrocarbon fluids, the CPA EoS is more ...

INHIBITING NFKB NF-kB (nuclear factor-kappa B) is a regulator in cells that activates inflammation, including the low-grade chronic inflammation that is a major contributor to most age-related diseases, including cancer. Sulforaphane blocks NF-kB, thereby reducing inflammation that contributes ...
calculations to assess the amount of organics needed to reach the values found in scenario IV for 50 nm particles show that the organic fraction has to be at least 70% to account for a lowering of the growth factor from 1.9 to 1.4 (see Fig.S4), which is very unlikely. Third, a conta...
documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) ...
