Anti-inflammatory effects of a special carbohydrate-whey protein cake after exhaustive cycling in humans

Kerasioti, E.; Stagos, D.; Jamurtas, A.; Kiskini, A.; Koutedakis, Y.; Goutzourelas, N.; Pournaras, S.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Kouretas, D. (2013)

Intense exercise induces increased levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a special cake (consisting of carbohydrate to whey protein 3.5:1) ...

Banana Cultivars, Cultivation Practices, and Physicochemical Properties

Arvanitoyannis, I. S.; Mavromatis, A. (2009)

The physicochemical ( pH, texture, Vitamin C, ash, fat, minerals) and sensory properties of banana were correlated with the genotype and growing conditions. Minerals in particular were shown to discriminate banana cultivars ...

Bayesian mixture models for partially verified data: Age- and stage-specific discriminatory power of an antibody ELISA for paratuberculosis

Kostoulas, P.; Browne, W. J.; Nielsen, S. S.; Leontides, L. (2013)

Bayesian mixture models can be used to discriminate between the distributions of continuous test responses for different infection stages. These models are particularly useful in case of chronic infections with a long ...

Behavioral interactions between Sitophilus zeamais and Tribolium castaneum: the first colonizer matters

Trematerra, P.; Ianiro, R.; Athanassiou, C. G.; Kavallieratos, N. G. (2015)

There is lack of knowledge on the interactions between kernel aging and the simultaneous infestation by insects, both internal and external feeders. In the present paper, we report results obtained in arena-olfactometer ...

Blood reflects tissue oxidative stress depending on biomarker and tissue studied

Veskoukis, A. S.; Nikolaidis, M. G.; Kyparos, A.; Kouretas, D. (2009)

This study investigated whether selected oxidative stress markers measured in blood adequately reflect redox status in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. Several markers were determined after implementing two treatments ...
