Lack of microRNA‐101 causes E‐cadherin functional deregulation through EZH2 up‐regulation in intestinal gastric cancer
Joana Carvalho,Nicole C.T. van Grieken,Patrícia M. Pereira,Sónia Sousa,Marianne Tijssen,Tineke E. Buffart,Begoña Diosdado,Heike I. Grabsch,Manuel A. S. Santos,Gerrit A. Meijer,Raquel Seruca,Beatriz Carvalho,Carla Oliveira +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that deletions and/or microdeletions at both miR‐101 genomic loci cause mature miR•101 down‐regulation, subsequent EZH2 over‐expression and E‐cadherin dysfunction, specifically in intestinal‐type GC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of resistance and aerobic exercise on physical function, bone mineral density, OPG and RANKL in older women.
Elisa A. Marques,Flávia Accioly Canuto Wanderley,Leandro Machado,Filipa Sousa,João L. Viana,Daniel Moreira-Gonçalves,Pedro Moreira,Jorge Mota,Joana Carvalho +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a resistance training protocol and a moderate-impact aerobic training protocol on bone mineral density (BMD), physical ability, serum osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) levels were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active versus passive transportation to school-differences in screen time, socio-economic position and perceived environmental characteristics in adolescent girls
Jorge Mota,Helena Gomes,Mariana Almeida,José Carlos Ribeiro,Joana Carvalho,Maria Paula Santos +5 more
TL;DR: It was shown that lower socio-economic position is associated with active commuting to school and that street connectivity is a predictor of active transportation in adolescent girls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritive value, antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds profile of brewer’s spent yeast extract
Elsa F. Vieira,Joana Carvalho,Edgar Pinto,Sara C. Cunha,Agostinho Almeida,Isabel M.P.L.V.O. Ferreira +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the nutritional composition, including minerals and B-complex vitamins, together with the antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds profile of yeast extract, prepared by mechanic disruption of brewer's spent yeast and removal of yeast cell wall, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicomponent Training Program with Weight-Bearing Exercises Elicits Favorable Bone Density, Muscle Strength, and Balance Adaptations in Older Women
Elisa A. Marques,Jorge Mota,Leandro Machado,Filipa Sousa,Margarida Coelho,Pedro Moreira,Joana Carvalho +6 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that 8 months of moderate-impact weight-bearing and multicomponent exercises reduces the potential risk factors for falls and related fractures in older women.
