Factors of Overweight and Obesity Among Employees of Petrochemical Manufacturing Companies
This study estimated the prevalence of overweight/obesity and examine the association between overweight/obesity and lifestyle habits among employees of petrochemical manufacturing companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Does Increased Energy Production in the Brain Influence Suicidal Behavior?
Recent research sheds light on the role of brain metabolism in suicidal behavior, focusing on a region called parahippocampal cortex (PHC). The PHC plays a role in emotions, decision-making, and memory. People with depression or a history of suicide attempts often show abnormal activity in the PHC.
Proteomic analysis of the combined effects of cannabigerol and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid on kinase-dependent signalling in UVB-irradiated human keratinocytes
Phytocannabinoid CBG together with EAA, a stable, lipophilic derivative of the vitamin C, recovered human skin cells irradiated by UV light. Their effects on kinases were manifested even after 24 hours.
Effects of CBG and EAA were linked to reduced modification of keratinocyte proteins by 4-HNE.
