The present work reports on testicular hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), the biological significance of which has been documented in male fertility. The HSL protein levels and enzymatic activity were measured, respectively, by densitometry of immunoreactive bands in Western blots, performed with antibodies against recombinant rat HSL, and by spectrophotometry in seminiferous tubules (STf) and inters

The role of cholesterol differs in the two compartments of the testis. In the interstitial tissue, cholesterol is necessary for the synthesis of testosterone, whereas in the seminiferous tubules, membrane cholesterol content in developing germ cells will influence the gametes' fertility. Here we evaluate the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) modulation of the cholesterol metabolism in each compartmen

This paper aims to assess the spatial variability in the response of CO2 exchange to irradiance across the Arctic tundra during peak season using light response curve (LRC) parameters. This investigation allows us to better understand the future response of Arctic tundra under climatic change. Peak season data were collected during different years (between 1998 and 2010) using the micrometeorologi

Sometimes it ends with a kiss Ana Rebordão creates staged environments in which she always plays the central figure, shifting between roles. Her latest piece, Sometimes it ends with a kiss, reflects on power relations within family structures. Through absurd, enigmatic performances, she evokes a sense of trauma and gives a sharp voice to silent female characters. The work shows women speaking to t

Rationale, aims and objectives: Many surgical procedures are nowadays performed as ambulatory or short stay procedures, reducing hospital length of stay. Patient safety and quality of care remain imperative especially when adopting enhanced recovery pathways. Patients should be adequately informed and prepared prior to admission. Recovery is to a major extent dependent after discharge on self-careRationale, aims and objectives: Many surgical procedures are nowadays performed as ambulatory or short stay procedures, reducing hospital length of stay.

Since 2009 initiatives that were selected for the roadmap of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures started working to build research infrastructures for a wide range of research disciplines. An important result of the strategic discussions was that distributed infrastructure scenarios were now seen as “complex research facilities” in addition to, for example traditional centralis

På gående fot färdas man hastigt mellan kontinenterna. Venedigbiennalen är en plats där länder kan se världen och samtidigt synas för världen. Sedan 1895 har Biennalen samlat världens främsta konstnärer och arkitekter. Sverige delar en paviljong med Norge och Finland, vilket innebär konstnärliga kompromisser och att Sveriges enbart deltar var tredje biennal. Examensarbetet föreslår en svensk natiTraveling by foot, one swiftly moves between continents. The Venice Biennale is a place where countries can see the world and, at the same time, be seen by the world. Since 1895, the Biennale has brought together the world’s leading artists and architects. Sweden shares a pavilion with Norway and Finland, which means artistic compromises and Sweden’s participation only every third Biennale. The t

In March 2020, the higher education sector was massively disrupted by [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19. While most universities run online programmes successfully informed by a wealth of research into online learning and teaching, many universities focus their energy and resources on educating and interacting with students on-campus. The technological changes of the past two decades have enable

The effects on trade from negotiating and entering voluntary partnership agreement is estimated using forest product trade data from 2000 to 2014 on countries in the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) licensing process. Gravity model framework is used and the result shows that beginning negotiations lead to an export drop by approximately 0.6 percent and is relatively stable the

Protein MIG, from Streptococcus dysgalactiae, binds alpha2-macroglobulin and immunoglobulin G (IgG). MIG-derived fusion proteins with one to five IgG-binding repeats differed up to 72,000- fold in avidity for goat IgG, indicating a considerable cooperativity of the repeats. Significant sequence variation in the IgG-binding repeats was recognized. Protein MIG interacted with goat IgG1 via both the

Dysfunction in various parts of immune defence, such as immune response, immune complex clearance, and inflammation, has an impact on pathogenesis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We hypothesised that combinations of common variants of genes involved in these immune functions are associated with susceptibility to SLE. The following variants were analysed: HLA DR3, HLA DQ2, C4AQ0, Fcgamma rec

Using a volume filter on daily index and stock price data the daily return has been researched. The explanatory variables used in the study are the 1 M T-Bill, the term spread - 10 Y Treasury bond versus a 3 M T-Bill -, and the oil price. The results revealed that accounting for trade volume is an important part in explaining the return of a stock or index. The volume activity provides additional

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdoses are of major clinical concern. Growing evidence underlines a pathogenic contribution of sterile postinjury inflammation in APAP-induced acute liver injury (APAP-ALI) and justifies development of anti-inflammatory therapies with therapeutic efficacy beyond the therapeutic window of the only current treatment option, N-acetylcysteine (NAC). The inflammatory mediator, h
