Project description:D-galactose orally intake ameliorate DNCB-induced atopic dermatitis by modulating microbiota composition and quorum sensing. The increased abundance of bacteroidetes and decreased abundance of firmicutes was confirmed. By D-galactose treatment, Bacteroides population was increased and prevotella, ruminococcus was decreased which is related to atopic dermatitis.
Project description:Mitochondrial and oxidative stress have been related to obesity and breast cancer, and this cancer is more frequent and more aggressive in postmenopausal women with obesity. To investigate if Mexican-Mestizo postmenopausal women with breast cancer and obesity presented different somatic mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) when compared to women with normal body mass index.
Project description:In the past few decades, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has sharply increased in children and adolescents. Childhood obesity life are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, sleep disturbances and certain cancers in adulthood. Childhood obesity has become a serious global public health challenge. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have an important role in adipose tissue function and energy metabolism homeostasis, and abnormalities may lead to obesity. We used microarrays to detail the differential expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in obese children compared with non-obese children.
