Activity of the antimicrobial peptide P34 against bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1
(2017) [Journal article]Previous studies have demonstrated the antimicrobial activity of the peptide P34. In this study, the antiviral potential of P34 and the in vitro mechanism of action were investigated against bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 ... -
Acute consumption of bordo grape juice and wine improves serum antioxidant status in healthy individuals and inhibits reactive oxygen species production in human neuron-like cells
(2018) [Journal article]Few studies investigated the biological effects of American grape cultivars. We investigated the metabolic response after acute consumption of grape juice or wine from Bordo grapes (Vitis labrusca) in a placebo-controlled ... -
Acute liver failure induces glial reactivity, oxidative stress and impairs brain energy metabolism in rats
(2020) [Journal article]Acute liver failure (ALF) implies a severe and rapid liver dysfunction that leads to impaired liver metabolism and hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Recent studies have suggested that several brain alterations such as astrocytic ... -
ADCK2 haploinsuciency reduces mitochondrial lipid oxidation and causes myopathy associated with CoQ deficiency
(2019) [Journal article]Fatty acids and glucose are the main bioenergetic substrates in mammals. Impairment of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation causes mitochondrial myopathy leading to decreased physical performance. Here, we report that haploinsu ... -
