The goal of this review is to summarize studies in which concentrations of circulating endocannabinoids in humans have been examined in relationship to physiological measurements and pathological status. The roles of endocannabinoids in the regulation of energy intake and storage have been well studied an...
3. A – Ducts of Luschka, also known as accessory bile ducts or subvesical ducts, are small ducts that originate from the right hepatic lobe, course along the gallbladder fossa, and drain into the extrahepatic bile ducts. If injured during cholecys- tectomy, they can cause bile leaks ...
A third of them did not provide any information on the method for the plasma/serum isolation, 19/50 did not detail the specification for the centrifugation steps to free the matrix from blood cells, and 18 of them gave no information on the cfDNA quantification method. Also, when browsing ...
The history of modern research on viral hepatitis began in the year 1963, when Nobel Prize winner Baruch S. Blumberg (1925–2011) reported for the first time publicly on the discovery of a new antigen named Australia antigen (AuAg) (reference [1], page 82). In the years following, AuAg...
human HBV strains originate from primates or vice versa but it cannot be excluded that cross-species from unknown sources have occurred (see below). Low variability during the immunotolerant phase Compared to HIV or hepatitis C virus, the HBV genome sequence is very stable in most cases of ...
s that, in turn, originate from the 3D structure of the biopolymer. The huge number of reactive hydroxyl groups in cellulose (in C-2, C-3, and C-6 positions) accounts for its ease of functionalization, usually carried out as an esterification reaction. For instance, both the thermal ...
muciniphila abundance was positively correlated to circulating primary bile acids in mice [47]. The addition of 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1% porcine bile extract resulted in increased growth of A. muciniphila in comparison to the medium that did not contain bile [46]. In contrast, purified bile ...
