Greater physical fitness may lead to greater left ventricular mass (LVM) and reduce the effect of cardiometabolic risk factors on LVM. However, the cardiometabolic biomarkers associations for LVM have not been clarified in physically active young adults.
Sex-specific traits and behaviors emerge during development by the acquisition of unique properties in the nervous system of each sex. However, the genetic events responsible for introducing these sex-specific features remain poorly understood. In this s
The vision of gradual realization of the air defense capacity within the program "Multirole aircraft of the Romanian Air Force", with the gradual realization by continuing the endowment with the squadrons of F-16 aircraft up to three squadrons. Modernization of the a...

Human beta defensins (HBD)-1, HBD-2, and HBD-3 are key elements of innate immunity that represent the first line of defense against different pathogen microorganisms associated with preterm labor. The aim of this work was to characterize the individual contribution of the amnion (AMN) and ...
Selenoproteins comprise a number of important and essential members, implicated in the antioxidative defense and control of redox-dependent pathways [1], [3], [4]. The Se status currently is a poorly defined concept describing the degree of bioavailable Se for selenoprotein biosynthesis with the ...

The expression of PmAgo4 did not change significantly in response to either double-stranded RNA or yellow head virus injection suggesting that PmAgo4 may not be the main AGO proteins that play a role in dsRNA-mediated gene silencing or antiviral defense. Interestingly, PmAgo4 appeared to ...
