Article
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been proposed as a tool to ameliorate bone formation and healing. Despite their promising results, however, they have failed to enter routine clinical protocols to treat bone...
Chapter
Since dietary fats may affect brain composition and function in early life, we evaluated developmental indices at 1 year of age in relation to the duration of breast-feeding and the milk fat composition in a b...
Chapter
We assessed the total fat content and fatty acid concentrations in colostrum and throughout a nursing period of 12 months in a group of mothers recruited after delivery of full-term infants. Pooled human milk ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Ultrafast processes in condensed phase are explored with transient vibrational spectroscopy. Examples include chemical reactions, protein dynamics and energy transfer.
Article
The neurite outgrowth and adhesion complex (NOAC), isolated from rabbit sera has been dissociated in its major components by reverse-phase chromatography in HPLC by using a C18 column. SDS-PAGE analisys of the ac...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Astroglial cells, in addition to providing mechanical and metabolic support to neurons, interact with neuronal function by binding and metabolizing several types of neuromediators. Glial cells are also involve...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The aim of our study was to confirm by Recombinant Immuno-blot Assay (RIBA) and by neutralization assay the repeat positive reactions found by two commercially available EIAs (Ortho and Abbott) when testing sa...

Chapter
A trial of n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the treatment of multiple sclerosis has been conducted over a 5-year period. 312 ambulant patients with acute remitting disease were randomly allocated to treatmen...

Chapter
The precursor-product relationships between 20 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and eicosanoids (E) suggest that modifications of the dietary intake of the 18 carbon PUFA — the short chain polyunsatur...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Among the many risk factors taken into consideration in the development of the atherosclerotic process, hypertriglyceridemia is the object of frequent debate (Böttiger and Carlson 1980; Hulley et al. 1980). Th...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The composition of cellular lipids (e.g. platelets, leukocytes) is affected by manipulations of dietary fat and/or pathological states, such as hyperlipidemias or other lipid metabolic disorders. As a result, ...
Chapter
The adult brain contains high levels of polyenoic fatty acids deriving from linoleic (18:2 Δ9,12 n — 6) and from linolenic acid (18:3 Δ9,12,15 n — 3). The two major polyunsaturated fatty acids (Pufa) present i...
