Phase Angle Predicts Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Calcification in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Margarida Sarmento-Dias,Carla Santos-Araújo,Rui Poínhos,Bruno Oliveira,Maria João Sousa,Liliana Simões-Silva,Isabel Soares-Silva,Flora Correia,Manuel Pestana +8 more
TL;DR: Phase angle predicts both arterial stiffness and vascular calcification in stable PD patients and is associated with markers of malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis/calcification (MIAC) syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotechnological Importance of Torulaspora delbrueckii: From the Obscurity to the Spotlight.
Ticiana Fernandes,Flávia Silva-Sousa,Fábio Pereira,Teresa Rito,Pedro Soares,Ricardo Franco-Duarte,Maria João Sousa +6 more
TL;DR: Torulaspora delbrueckii has attracted interest in recent years, especially due to its biotechnological potential, arising from its flavor and aroma-enhancing properties when used in wine, beer or bread dough fermentation, as well as from its remarkable resistance to osmotic and freezing stresses as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and photophysical studies of new benzo[a]phenoxazinium chlorides as potential antifungal agents
M. Ines P.S. Leitao,B. Rama Raju,Sarala Naik,Paulo J. G. Coutinho,Maria João Sousa,M. Sameiro T. Gonçalves +5 more
TL;DR: A set of four new benzo[a]phenoxazinium chlorides possessing ethyl, propyl, decyl and tetradecyl groups at the 9amino function of the heterocycle along with a propyl group at the 5amino position was efficiently synthesized as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth Culture Conditions and Nutrient Signaling Modulating Yeast Chronological Longevity
TL;DR: The manipulation of nutrient-signaling pathways in yeast has uncovered the impact of environmental growth conditions in longevity, providing key insights into mechanisms that modulate aging and establishing the yeast as a powerful system to extend knowledge on longevity regulation in multicellular organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen and carbon source balance determines longevity, independently of fermentative or respiratory metabolism in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that ammonium decreases chronological life span (CLS) of the prototrophic Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain PYCC 4072 in a concentration-dependent manner and, accordingly, that CLS can be extended through ammonium restriction, even in conditions of initial glucose abundance.
