TL;DR: Redox reactions are important steps in the metabolism and energy conversion of living cells and a number of coenzymes are involved: ferrodoxins, lipoic acid, NADH/NADPH, NADP(H), flavins and cytochromes.
Abstract: Redox reactions are important steps in the metabolism and energy conversion of living cells. Besides the enzymes necessary, a number of coenzymes are involved in such reactions: ferrodoxins, lipoic acid, NAD(H), NADP(H), flavins and cytochromes. The coenzymes differ in their redox potential, in the binding constants and the mode of regeneration [1]. NADH/NADPH are the most frequently encountered coenzymes. In general they dissociate easily and need a second reaction with another metabolite for regeneration. These properties are one of the means by which nature directs the flow of intermediates in response to biosynthetic needs. Because of the spectral properties of the coenzyme moiety, dehydrogenases have been extensively studied in the past [2] and have found widespread applications in clinical and food analysis [3].

TL;DR: The data corroborate and extend previous findings of temporolimbic structure volume reduction in schizophrenia, and suggest that the positive psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia are associated with anatomic anomalies in mesiotemporal structure.

TL;DR: Regulation of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)3 expression and the recently described divergent regulatory roles of the two p38(MAPK)-activated protein kinases MK2 and MK3 for the regulation of LPS-induced NF-κB- and IRF3-mediated signal-transduction and gene expression appears to play an important role.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the effects of the unprecedented rise in trade between Germany and "the East" - China and Eastern Europe - in the period 1988-2008 on German local labor markets.
Abstract: "We analyze the effects of the unprecedented rise in trade between Germany and 'the East' - China and Eastern Europe - in the period 1988-2008 on German local labor markets. Using detailed administrative data, we exploit the cross-regional variation in initial industry structures and use trade flows of other high-income countries as instruments for regional import and export exposure. We find that the rise of 'the East' in the world economy caused substantial job losses in German regions specialized in import-competing industries, both in manufacturing and beyond. Regions specialized in export-oriented industries, however, experienced even stronger employment gains and lower unemployment. In the aggregate, we estimate that this trade integration has caused some 493,000 additional jobs in the economy and contributed to retaining the manufacturing sector in Germany. We also conduct our analysis at the individual worker level, and find that trade had a stabilizing overall effect on employment relationships." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

TL;DR: Overall, the review only modestly supports the hypothesis of a consistent association between work stress and health risk behavior, and the need to reduce stressful experience in the framework of worksite health promotion programs is emphasized.
Abstract: This contribution discusses current knowledge of associations between psychosocial stress at work and health risk behavior, in particular cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and overweight, by reviewing findings from major studies in the field published between 1989 and 2006. Psychosocial stress at work is measured by the demand-control model and the effort-reward imbalance model. Health risk behavior was analyzed in the broader context of a health-related Western lifestyle with socially and economically patterned practices of consumption. Overall, the review, based on 46 studies, only modestly supports the hypothesis of a consistent association between work stress and health risk behavior. The relatively strongest relationships have been found with regard to heavy alcohol consumption among men, overweight, and the co-manifestation of several risks. Suggestions for further research are given, and the need to reduce stressful experience in the framework of worksite health promotion programs is emphasized.
