Dehydroisohispanolone (DIH), is a labdane diterpene that has exhibited anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of NF-κB activation, although its potential effects on inflammasome activation remain unexplored. This study aims to elucidate whether DIH modulates NLR family pyrin domain-containing pro...
A series of nine derivatives (2⁻10) were prepared from the diterpene solidagenone (1) and their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic studies. Their ability to inhibit inflammatory responses elicited in peritoneal macrophages by TLR ligands was investigated. Compo...
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic, making it crucial to understand how it can be effectively prevented/treated. Considering that obesity is a multifactorial condition, this article carried out a baseline cross-sectional study of the variables involved in the disorder. Eighty-four subjects with overwei...

(Rosaceae), commonly known as Mediterranean hawthorn, has long been valued in Traditional Medicine for treating cardiovascular and inflammation-related diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and rheumatism. Pharmacological benefits of Crataegus azarolus L. are notably linked to ...
This study aimed (i) to explore the relationship between vertical (jumping) and horizontal (sprinting) force-velocity-power (FVP) mechanical profiles in a large range of sports and levels of practice, and (ii) to provide a large database to serve as a reference of the FVP profile for all sports and ...
Strength and conditioning specialists commonly deal with the quantification and selection the setting of protocols regarding resistance training intensities. Although the one repetition maximum (1RM) method has been widely used to prescribe exercise intensity, the velocity-based training (VBT) metho...
Mutations in VAV1, a gene that encodes a multifunctional protein important for lymphocytes, are found at different frequencies in peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL), non-small cell lung cancer and other tumors. However, their pathobiological significance remains unsettled. After cataloguing 51 cancer...

Purpose
