Early kidney injury occurs in the absence of detectable perirenal adipose tissue remodelling in the Munich Wistar Frömter rat model of chronic kidney disease

Adipose tissue surrounding the kidney, known as perirenal adipose tissue (PRAT), is a metabolically active depot that may influence renal function through inflammatory and fibrotic mediators. In the Munich Wistar Frömter (MWF) rat, a genetic model of spontaneous chronic kidney di...

Dietary (Poly)phenol Intake, Inflammatory Biomarkers, and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Italian Adults

Background: Dietary (poly)phenols have been proposed to protect against age-related cognitive decline through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective mechanisms. However, evidence specifically addressing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains limited. This study inve...

External Mechanical Workload and Acute Physiological Responses During Intermittent Normobaric Hypoxia in Elite Cyclists

Background: Intermittent normobaric hypoxia (INH) has been proposed as a strategy to increase physiological stress while maintaining a relatively low external mechanical workload. However, the acute physiological responses elicited during standardized INH combined with low-intens...

Perceived academic disruption in the event of a future pandemic among Latin American university students: a multicountry cross-sectional study
