Effects of in vitro vitamin D treatment on function of T cells and autophagy mechanisms in high-fat diet-induced obese mice

출판일: 2021.5.14 Abstract BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Obesity is associated with the impaired regulation of T cells characterized by increased numbers of Th1 and Th17 cells and the dysregulation of vitamin D metabolism. Both obesity and vitamin D have been reported to affect autophagy; however, a limited number of studies have investigated the effects of vitamin D on T […]

The effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on markers related to the differentiation and maturation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from control and obese mice

출판일: 2020.07.08 Abstract Vitamin D has been reported to regulate the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs). Obesity was shown to be associated with the dysregulation of vitamin D metabolism and malfunction of DCs. We investigated the effects of in vitro 1,25(OH)2D3 treatment (0, 1, or 10 nM) on phenotype and expression of genes […]

Mediating and moderating factors of adherence to nutrition and physical activity guidelines, breastfeeding experience, and spousal support on the relationship between stress and quality of life in breast cancer survivors

출판일:20201016 Abstract Spousal support may attenuate stress in breast cancer survivors and improve their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, there is limited evidence of a relationship between spousal support, stress, and HRQoL in Asian populations. The current study examined whether spousal support, adherence to the American Cancer Society (ACS) Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical […]
