Background/Objectives: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is metabolically active and is in dynamic crosstalk with the surrounding cardiomyocytes, modulating their function and metabolism. Oxidative stress is a key contributor to cell death and cardiac...

The appearance rate of nutrients into systemic circulation affects hormones like insulin and through that efficiency of growth. This also affects mineral requirements critical for metabolism, notably phosphate (P), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K)....

Background: The gut health of livestock and poultry is of utmost importance as it significantly impacts their growth performance, disease resistance, and product quality. With the increasing restrictions on antibiotic use in animal husbandry, probiot...

The aging process is a complex and dynamic phenomenon influenced by genetic, environmental, and biochemical factors. One of the key contributors to aging and age-related diseases is oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance between the generation...

Background/Objectives: This study investigated the effects of chestnut tannic acid (TA) on the growth performance, the expression of tight junction proteins and the composition of the gut microbiota of weaned piglets, which could provide novel insigh...

Background/Objectives: Breast milk provides essential nutrition and immune protection to support infant growth and development. However, insufficient breast milk remains a serious issue, and bioactive peptides represent a potential strategy to promot...

Background/Objectives: Coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is a cardiovascular condition characterized by delayed passage of contrast medium through the coronary arteries, predominantly affecting young male smokers admitted with acute coronary syndr...

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence and key sociodemographic and lifestyle determinants of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype in a large occupational cohort. Background: Meta...

Background/Objectives: The increased use of antibiotics is raising concerns about environmental contamination and antibiotic resistance, exemplified by the case of cotrimoxazole, a widely prescribed combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. A...

Background: Sarcopenia is a syndrome associated with aging, characterized by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and function. Its onset compromises the health and longevity of older adults by increasing susceptibility to falls, fractures,...
