A Bayesian semi-parametric approach to the ordinal calibration problem
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)We introduce a semi-parametric Bayesian approach based on skewed Dirichlet processes priors for location parameters in the ordinal calibration problem. This approach allows the modeling of asymmetrical error distributions. ... -
A Nonautochthonous US Strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Isolated from Chesapeake Bay Oysters Caused the Outbreak in Maryland in 2010
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 2016)In the summer of 2010, Vibrio parahaemolyticus caused an outbreak in Maryland linked to the consumption of oysters. Strains isolated from both stool and oyster samples were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ... -
A pharmacologically potentiated stress during lactation alters the hepatic endocannabinoid system in adult mice: association with development of insulin resistance
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017) -
Absorption of Iron from Ferritin Is Independent of Heme Iron and Ferrous Salts in Women and Rat Intestinal Segments
(AMER SOC NUTRITION, 2012-03)Ferritin iron from food is readily bioavailable to humans and has the potential for treating iron deficiency. Whether ferritin iron absorption is mechanistically different from iron absorption from small iron complexes/salts ... -
Aceites vegetales de uso frecuente en Sudamérica: características y propiedades
(Aula Médica Ediciones, 2015)El consumo de aceites vegetales se ha incrementado en las últimas décadas en nuestra sociedad y son parte importante de la dieta en todo el mundo. Sudamérica es un gran productor de diferentes aceites vegetales. La ... -
Acetobacter strains isolated during the acetification of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) wine
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2013-09)Highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) are known to have positive health benefits. The production of blueberry vinegar is one method to preserve this seasonal fruit and allow extended consumption. In this study, ... -
Acidos grasos con isomeria trans I. Su origen y los efectos en la salud humana
(2008-09)It has been observed that foods with similar amount of starch can generate different glycemic responses. The evidence of a direct link between saturated fat consumption and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases has ... -
Acute Copper and Ascorbic Acid Supplementation Inhibits Non-heme Iron Absorption in Humans
(Humana Press, 2016)The objective of the study is to determine the effect of copper (Cu) plus the reducing agent ascorbic acid (AA) on the absorption of non-heme iron (Fe). Experimental study with block design in which each subject was his ... -
Acute inhibition of iron absorption by zinc
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD., 2007-05)Iron and zinc deficiencies are the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide. Combined zinc and iron supplementation is one of the strategies used to prevent these deficiencies. Zinc has an inhibitory effect on iron ... -
Adipogenic effect of calcium sensing receptor activation
(Springer, 2013)We established that human adipose cells and the human adipose cell line LS14 express the calciumsensing receptor (CaSR) and that its activation induces inflammatory cytokine production. Also, its expression is enhanced ... -
Adiposidad visceral y su asociación con lípidos séricos e insulinemia en adolescentes obesas
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2007-03)Increased visceral or abdominal adipose tissue in children and adults is strongly associated with metabolic and a variety of chronic diseases. Aim: To study the association between visceral or external body measurements ... -
Administration of High Doses of Copper to Capuchin Monkeys Does Not Cause Liver Damage but Induces Transcriptional Activation of Hepatic Proliferative Responses1–3
(American Society for Nutrition, 2012)Liver cells respond to copper loading upregulating protective mechanisms. However, to date, except for liver content, there are no good indicators that identify individuals with excess liver copper. We hypothesized that ... -
Adolescent Metabolic Syndrome Risk Is Increased with Higher Infancy Weight Gain and Decreased with Longer Breast Feeding
(2012)Background. Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is increasing in pediatric age groups worldwide. Meeting the criteria for the metabolic syndrome puts children at risk for later cardiovascular and metabolic disease. ... -
Adult hippocampus derived soluble factors induce a neuronal-like phenotype in mesenchymal stem cells
(ELSEVIER, 2006-10-02)Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are not restricted in their differentiation fate to cells of the mesenchymal lineage. They acquire a neural phenotype in vitro and in vivo after transplantation in the ... -
Alteraciones de la conducta alimentaria en lactantes chilenos, de acuerdo a estrato socioeconómico
(ARCHIVOS LATINOAMERICANOS NUTRICION, 2008-12)Las alteraciones de la conducta alimentaria son frecuentes en niños; pero se conocen poco sus características en niños/ as Latinoamericanos y sus diferencias por estrato socioeconómico (ESE). El objetivo fue caracterizar ... -
Amoxicillin treatment modifies the composition of Bifidobacterium species in infant intestinal microbiota
(ELSEVIER, 2010-08)Objectives: Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic largely used in childhood. However only few studies described its impact on composition of children gut microbiota, in particular on Bifidobacterium populations considered ... -
Amplification of tlh gene in other Vibrionaceae specie by specie-specific multiplex PCR of Vibrio parahaemolyticus
(PUCV, 2015)Background: The surveillance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the Chilean coast has been mainly performed by multiplex PCR amplification of three different hemolysin genes, which are specie-specific virulence factors. These ... -
An in vitro study of the antioxidant and antihemolytic properties of buddleja globosa (Matico)
(Springer, 2017)The antioxidant and antihemolytic properties contained in the leaves of Buddleja globosa (B. globosa), also known as "Matico," were determined. Aqueous extracts of leaves were assayed in human erythrocytes and molecular ...
