The effect of oral collagen peptide supplementation on skin moisture and the …

Skin dryness and an accelerated fragmentation of the collagen network in the dermis are hallmarks of skin aging. Nutrition is a key factor influencing skin health and consequently its appearance. A wide range of dietary supplements is offered to improve skin health. Collagen peptides are used as a bioactive ingredient in nutricosmetic products and have been shown in preclinical studies to impr…

Improving Skin Hydration and Age-related Symptoms by Oral Administration of W…

Ceramides are known to play a key role in the skin’s barrier function. An age-dependent decrease in ceramides content correlates with cutaneous clinical signs of dryness, loss of elasticity, and increased roughness. The present placebo-controlled clinical study aims to evaluate if an oral supplementation with glucosylceramides (GluCers) contained in a wheat polar lipids complex (WPLC) was abl…

Potential Applications of Phyto-Derived Ceramides in Improving Epidermal Barr…

The outer most layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, consists of corneocytes which are coated by a cornified envelope and embedded in a lipid matrix of ordered lamellar structure. It is responsible for the skin barrier function. Ceramides (CERs) are the backbone of the intercellular lipid membranes

Randomised controlled trial of vitamin E in patients with coronary disease: C…

Vitamin E (&agr;-tocopherol) is thought to have a role in prevention of atherosclerosis, through inhibition of oxidation of low-density lipoprotein. Some epidemiological studies have shown an association between high dietary intake or high serum concentrations of &agr;-tocopherol and lower rates of ischaemic heart disease. We tested the hypothesis that treatment with a high dose of &agr;-tocoph…

Vitamin E consumption and the risk of coronary heart disease in men

The oxidative modification of low-density lipoproteins increases their incorporation into the arterial intima, an essential step in atherogenesis. Although dietary antioxidants, such as vitamin C, carotene, and vitamin E, have been hypothesized to prevent coronary heart disease, prospective epidemiologic data are sparse

Relation of Serum Ascorbic Acid to Mortality Among US Adults

Low SAA levels were marginally associated with an increased risk of fatal CVD and significantly associated with an increased risk for all-cause mortality. Low SAA levels were also a risk factor for cancer death in men, but unexpectedly were associated with a decreased risk of cancer death in women. If the association between low SAA levels and all-cause mortality is causal, increasing the consu…

Dietary antioxidants and risk of myocardial infarction in the elderly: the Ro…

The results of this observational study in the elderly population of the Rotterdam Study support the hypothesis that high dietary b-carotene intakes may protect against cardiovascular disease. We did not observe an association between vitamin C or vitamin E and MI

Neuromuscular blocking drugs in the critically ill

Neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs) are now used less frequently in critically ill patients than they were 15 years ago, mainlyrnbecause of improved techniques of artificialrnventilation

Comparison of hemodynamic and neuromuscular properties of rocuronium versus v…

Adequate maintenance of airways in patients undergoing surgeries under general anesthesia was throughrnproper intubation. This was achieved by the extensive usage of neuromuscular blocking drugs, which provided goodrnintubation conditions and relaxation of the muscles. Neuromuscular blockers play a key role in general anesthesia.rnRocuronium and vecuronium are used as nondepolarizing muscle rel…
