To gain insight in the relationship between innate immune system and metabolic disease, we aimed to investigate the effects of lactoferrin in obesity-related metabolic disturbances. Circulating lactoferrin concentration ...
Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipose tissue which possesses insulin-sensitivity and anti-atherosclerotic properties. In this work, we will study if high molecular weight adiponectin is a key molecule in the association ...
Obesity is one of the most important public health problems facing the world today. Gene expression studies applied to fat depots from obese subjects have provided important clues about the pathophysiology of adipose tissue. ...
PURPOSE: To determine the role of MRI and MR spectroscopy (MRSI) in the diagnosis of infertility. To stablish normal values of the metabolites involved in the spermatogenesis (choline, creatine, and lipids) and to quantify ...
The clinical manifestations of Multiple Sclerosis are motor, sensitive, cerebellar and cognitive alterations. It evolves with a high degree of physical and cognitive disability. The “EM-line! Project” has its origins in ...
The "Macular Projector" MAP, designed by us, is so effective, reliable and predictive as the Guyton-Minkowski PAMÒ and Retinometer Heine Lambda 100 in the assessment of potential visual acuity. The PAM has the advantage, ...
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system with unknown, autoimmune mechanism, and a progressive and disabling course. Lipid-specific oligoclonal IgM bands in cerebrospinal fluid ...
Les Síndromes de QT Llarg (SQTL) i de Brugada (SBr) són malalties hereditàries amb un alt risc de mort sobtada cardíaca degut a alteracions elèctriques cardíaques sense cap defecte estructural del cor. Estan relacionades ...
Introducción: El infarto cerebral és una de las primeras causas de morbi-mortalidad en nuestra sociedad. La fibrinolisis intravenosa con activador tisular del plasminógeno es el tratamiento de elección en las primeras 4.5 ...
Dins de les mesures en la ona espectral intrarenal, l’índex de resistivitat (IRI) és el més conegut i estudiat com relacionat amb la valoració de la disfunció renal i el seu pronòstic. Així mateix s’ha relacionat amb ...
The aim of this thesis was to identify transcriptional regulators involved in the modulation of ischaemia, as well as brain plasticity processes responsible for compensating the ischaemic lesions, in order to establish the ...
L’esterilitat constitueix una part important de la pràctica clínica i de la consegüent despesa sanitària. Tot i el progrés que han experimentat les tècniques de reproducció assistida, aquestes tenen en el moment actual una ...
The aim is to demonstrate the utility of magnetic resonance (MR) for identifying subclinical changes associated with the metabolic syndrome (MS) that contribute to increased cardiometabolic risk. The effect of MS on ...
La evidencia científica sugiere que la enfermedad arteriosclerótica tiene su origen en edades tempranas de la vida y su progresión está determinada por la suma de factores de riesgo cardiovascular, como la obesidad o el ...
WNT5A is a protein with proinflammatory properties recently related to insulin resistance. It is believed that this protein might be regulated by SFRP5, which sequesters WNT5A exerting its anti-inflammatory actions and ...
La enfermedad cardiovascular es un trastorno complejo, multifactorial, poligénico y con un importante componente ambiental. Este grupo de enfermedades, y en particular la cardiopatía isquémica, ocasionan una gran morbilidad ...
Cerebral ischaemia is a potent inducer of gene expression, however, little is known about the mechanisms that regulate this expression. Studies of gene expression and the study of the mechanisms regulating this expression ...
Both the prenatal and postnatal environment have a profound impact on the risk for adult diseases. A model of catch-up growth following fetal growth restriction was set in Wistar rats to study changes in the gene expression ...
La mort sobtada cardíaca (MSC) es defineix com una mort natural, repentina i d’origen cardíac que succeeix durant la primera hora des de l’inici dels símptomes fins el seu desenllaç final. La MSC és la manifestació més ...
In this thesis,the association of FASN (fatty acid synthase) expression with clinicopathological and anthropometric characteristics in breast cancer patients is studied to find out FASN role as a prognostic in early stage ...
