Sarcoptic mange is a globally distributed disease caused by the burrowing mite Sarcoptes scabiei, which also causes scabies in humans. A wide and increasing number of wild mammal species are reported to be susceptible to ...
Can physical activity attenuate the negative association between sitting time and cognitive function among older adults? A mediation analysis
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to examine the combined association of sitting time and physical activity with cognitive function and to determine whether moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is a mediator of the ...
Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii and B. henselae in dogs
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2018)
This study aimed to molecularly survey Bartonella in dogs from Chile. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) for Bartonella spp. based on nuoG gene was performed in 139 blood samples taken from dogs belonging to rural localities ...
A Tomato Tocopherol-Binding Protein Sheds Light on Intracellular alpha-Tocopherol Metabolism in Plants
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)
Tocopherols are non-polar compounds synthesized in the plastids, which function as major antioxidants of the plant cells and are essential in the human diet. Both the intermediates and final products of the tocopherol ...
