Alterations in xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme activities across menstrual cycle in healthy volunteers
(2019)The purpose of the study was to determine whether the in vivo activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes CYP1A2 and CYP2A6, xanthine oxidase (XO), and N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) vary across the menstrual cycle. Forty-two ... -
Altered activity of xenobiotic detoxifying enzymes at menopause – A cross-sectional study
(2020)Xenobiotic metabolism at menopause is an under-investigated topic, albeit women spend one-third of their life in the postmenopausal period. The present study examined the effect of menopause on the in vivo activities of ... -
Application of liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry to measure urinary Cortisol in loose housed sows
(2016)Cortisol is the most common physiological parameter used to measure welfare in pigs. In field studies evaluating stress in individual pigs which are group housed, the collection of spontaneously voided urine is practical. ... -
Comparison between the urine dipstick and the pH-meter to assess urine pH in sheep and dogs
(2018)Background: Urine pH is an integral part of a complete urinalysis, and is commonly measured in veterinary practice using semiquantitative reagent strips. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the urine pH of dogs ... -
Effect of storage time on the urine protein: creatinine ratio in alkaline ovine urine
(2021)The urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio is considered the reference method to assess proteinuria. Its diagnostic value in ovine medicine needs further elucidation. In population monitoring and/or for research purposes, ... -
Effects of controlled dehydration on sleep quality and quantity: A polysomnographic study in healthy young adults
(2019)Dehydration is associated with several alternations in body homeostasis involving both physiological and mental aspects. In addition some studies have reported a negative effect of dehydration on subjectively assessed ... -
Endogenous Melatonin Levels and Therapeutic Use of Exogenous Melatonin in Migraine: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2020)Background: Sleep disorders and circadian dysregulation appear to be associated with primary headache disorders. Objective: The aim of this study was to review the existing evidence for the deployment of melatonin in ... -
Evaluation of Heller's reaction and the urine dipstick method alone or in combination to detect proteinuria in sheep
(2022)Background: Urine dipstick and Heller's reaction are easy first-line screening tests for the detection of proteinuria; however, the performance of these methods in alkaline ovine urine is largely unknown. Objective: The ... -
Experimental verification of regression to the mean in redox biology: differential responses to exercise
(2016)An important methodological threat when selecting individuals based on initial values for a given trait is the “regression to the mean” artifact. This artifact appears when a group with an extreme mean value during a first ... -
High prevalence of hypohydration in occupations with heat stress - Perspectives for performance in combined cognitive and motor tasks
(2018)Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of dehydration in occupational settings and contextualize findings to effects on performance in cognitively dominated tasks, simple and complex motor tasks during moderate and high heat ... -
Lack of synergistic nephrotoxicity between vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam in a rat model and a confirmatory cellular model
(2020)Vancomycin and piperacillin/tazobactam are reported in clinical studies to increase acute kidney injury (AKI). However, no clinical study has demonstrated synergistic toxicity, only that serum creatinine increases. To ... -
Meta-analysis of melatonin levels in cluster headache—Review of clinical implications
(2020)Cluster headache (CH) has been associated with circadian disturbances. The present systematic review examined available evidence for the utilization of melatonin (MT) in CH prophylaxis. First, case-control studies assessing ... -
Untargeted Metabolomics Pilot Study Using UHPLC-qTOF MS Profile in Sows’ Urine Reveals Metabolites of Bladder Inflammation
(2022)Urinary tract infections (UTI) of sows (characterized by ascending infections of the urinary bladder (cyst), ureters, and renal pelvis), are major health issues with a significant economic impact to the swine industry. The ... -
Urinary tract infections in culled sows from Greek herds: prevalence and associations between findings of histopathology, bacteriology and urinalysis
(2021)Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) of sows characterized by cystitis, which may progress to ureteritis and pyelonephritis, can affect their productivity, longevity and welfare. In this study, we determined the ... -
Urine-based molecular diagnostic tests for leishmaniasis infection in human and canine populations: A meta-analysis
(2021)Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease affecting humans and domesticated animals with high mortality in endemic countries. The pleiotropy of symptoms and the complicated gold-standard methods make the need for ...
