Significant sex-based differences are seen in multiple categories of biomarkers, including lipids, adipokines, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, myocyte injury and stress, and kidney function [72], [73]. HIV viral load and cardiac troponin levels differ between males and females, and may or ...
The Emulsion test (for fats) Fats (lipids) are large molecules. The presence of lipids can be detected by the emulsion test. First collect a sample of the food and add a few drops of ethanol. Cover the test tube with your thumb, shake for a few seconds. Now add a few drops of wat...
This study aimed to engineer and optimise a dysbiotic biofilm model to develop in vitro root caries for investigating microbial modulation strategies. The model involved growing complex biofilms from a saliva inoculum collected from four volunteers using two strategies. In the first strategy (“pre-tre...
The test method makes use of a macromolecular reagent composed of a mixture of proteins and glycoproteins, carbohydrates, lipids and low molecular weight components, which when rehydrated, form an ordered macromolecular matrix mimicking the structure of the transparent cornea. Irritant substances produce...
A new test procedure is proposed for testing the constant failure rate against the alternative that the failure rate changes its trend, assuming that the proportion of the population that fails at or before the change-point of failure rate is known. The test procedure is based on the L-statis...
Human mPGES-1 is recognized as a promising target for next generation of anti-inflammatory drugs without the side effects of currently available anti-inflammatory drugs, and various inhibitors have been reported in the literature. However, none of the re
This study demonstrates that genome-wide microarrays can be optimized using a two-stage strategy for a more in-depth understanding of how a cell manifests biological reactions to a drug treatment at the transcription level. Additionally, a more detailed understanding of how the statistical model, ...
Nano-enabled masks with these metal nanoparticles may effectively inactivate SARS-CoV-2 by damaging viral proteins and lipids, most notably the envelope proteins of the virus [130]. By integrating copper oxide nanoparticles into N95 masks (Fig. 9a), Borkow et al. found that these nano-enabled ...
(Huwiler and Pfeilschifter2006; Rosen et al.2013; Blaho and Hla2014), whereby ceramide and sphingosine cause apoptosis and growth arrest phenotypes and sphingosine-1-phosphate mediates proliferative and angiogenic responses. Sphingosine kinase is a key enzyme in modulating the levels of these lipids ...
A method, system and kit for detecting the presence of an analyte includes placing a solution containing the analyte in a microcapillary tube and placing the microcapillary tube in contact with a layer of sorbent material so that the solution is withdrawn from the microcapillary tube by capillary ...
