Depressive Symptoms in Adults with Obesity and Their Associations with Sociodemographic, Health and Lifestyle Factors: A Secondary Analysis of a Cross-Sectional Study

Background/Objectives: Research indicates a bidirectional association between obesity and depression. The co-occurrence of both disorders has serious clinical implications. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of self-reported depressive symptoms (DS) in a group of...

DeisoLAB - isotopic envelope identification by analysis of the spatial distribution of peptides in MALDI-MSI data

A new approach (DeisoLAB) is introduced to handle extensive peptide data obtained in mass spectrometry imaging experiments and detect potential isotopic envelopes. It is based on a combination of a fuzzy-inference system and analysis of spatial distribution of peptides. Potential...

Social communication during a sow-piglet foraging paradigm

Offspring may use various sensory modalities to learn from the mother, but this has in pigs received relatively little research attention. The objective of this study was to investigate social cues between sow and piglet during a learning scenario related to foraging. We hypothes...

Inflammasome Inhibitor MCC950 Attenuates Methamphetamine-Induced Hippocampal Neurotoxicity and Aberrant Neurogenesis in a Sex-Dependent Manner

Methamphetamine (METH) is a known proinflammatory agent; however, the impacts of inflammasomes on its neurotoxic effects are not fully understood. In the present study, we assessed the impact of prolonged METH administration on the hippocampal inflammasome profile in male and fem...
