Abstract Human skin equivalents (HSEs) are three-dimensional cell models mimicking characteristics of native human skin (NHS) in many aspects. However, a limitation of HSEs is the altered in vitro morphogenesis and barrier formation. Differences between in vitro and in vivo skin could have been induced by suboptimal cell culture conditions, of which the level of oxygen in vitro (20%) is much higher than in vivo (0.5–8%). Our aim is to study how external oxygen levels affect epidermal morphogenesis and ...

Abstract The aerial parts of Acalypha phleoides are usually prescribed in the Mexican traditional medicine for a variety of gastrointestinal complaints. The MeOH–CHCl 3 (1:1) extract of the aerial part of A. phleoides showed an inhibitory effect on the gastrointestinal propulsion of a charcoal meal in mice. In isolated guinea‐pig ileum, this extract produced a concentration dependent inhibition of the contractions induced by 5‐hydroxytryptamine, but it was unable to inhibit the contractions elicited ...

Alternanthera repens and Bidens odorata are used as medication for gastrointestinal diseases today, mainly in relation to diarrhea; therefore, pharmacological tests with aqueous and ethanol extracts of both species were carried out in mice. Using charcoal meal, the activity of the four extracts on intestinal motility was determined, finding that they inhibit the advance of the gastrointestinal content. Also, the lethal media doses were estimated in order to examine the plants’ safety. The data confirmed ...

Abstract Lipases are the versatile biological catalysts used in a wide range of commercial synthetic applications. Microbial lipases have been widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, textile, oleochemical, paper, and bioenergy industries, in the composition of detergents, and in the production of polymers and enantiomerically pure chemical intermediates. Lipases have a unique lid opening mechanism that makes them interesting biocatalysts to catalyze reactions in hydrophobic environments. Water ...

Abstract Connexin 43 (Cx43), the gap junction protein involved in cell‐to‐cell coupling in the heart, is also present in the subsarcolemmal fraction of cardiomyocyte mitochondria. It has been described to regulate mitochondrial potassium influx and respiration and to be important for ischaemic preconditioning protection, although the molecular effectors involved are not fully characterized. In this study, we looked for potential partners of mitochondrial Cx43 in an attempt to identify new molecular ...

The chestnut bur, a forest waste product from chestnut processing in the food industry, was studied as a potential source of natural antioxidants. Extractions were performed using aqueous solutions of methanol or ethanol. Experiments were planned according to an incomplete 33 factorial design to study the influence of temperature (25–75 °C), time (30–120 min) and solvent concentration (50–90%) on extraction yield and on extract properties: total phenols content, antioxidant activity (using the FRAP, ...

Research about inequities between native and immigrant women regarding the quality of health care is still scarce. Initiation of breastfeeding in hospital is considered a quality care indicator. In this study, we explore the association between the geographical origin of the women and the establishment of breastfeeding in Spanish hospitals. Prevalence of breastfeeding initiation is higher for women from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Maghreb or sub-Saharan Africa than for Spanish women, and lower ...

Enzyme treatment was conducted in two stages involving (1) pepsin at pH 5.0 followed by (2) pancreatin at neutral pH, where the incubation times were kept short to mimic the fast transit in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Solubility of trace elements was used to express bioavailability, and so analytes were determined ...
