The acute exercise response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and their bioenergetic function in women with high and low systemic estradiol levels by Sira Karvinen, Emilia Lähteenmäki, Bettina Hutz, Hanna‐Kaarina Juppi, Jari E. Karppinen, Anna Kankaanpää, Maarit Lehti, Eija K. Laakkonen

“…However, the association of systemic E2 level with peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) bioenergetic function has not been investigated. We examined the associations of systemic E2 level (HIGH and LOW E2 groups) on WBC count and PBMC bioenergetic function before and after an acute bout of endurance exercise (time points PRE, POST and 1 h POST exercise). …”

Human Auditory and Adjacent Nonauditory Cerebral Cortices Are Hypermetabolic in Tinnitus as Measured by Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) by Mohamad Issa, Silvia Bisconti, Ioulia Kovelman, Paul Kileny, Gregory J. Basura

“…The aim of the present study was to measure changes in oxy-hemoglobin concentration from regions of interest (ROI; auditory cortex) and non-ROI (adjacent nonauditory cortices) during auditory stimulation and silence in participants with subjective tinnitus appreciated equally in both ears and in nontinnitus controls using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Control and tinnitus participants with normal/near-normal hearing were tested during a passive auditory task. …”

Oral administration of Porphyromonas gingivalis to mice with diet-induced obesity impairs cognitive function associated with microglial activation in the brain by Kana Oue, Yosuke Yamawaki, Kazuhisa Ouhara, Eiji Imado, Tetsuya Tamura, Mitsuru Doi, Yoshitaka Shimizu, Mitsuhiro Yoshida, Noriyoshi Mizuno, Norimitsu Morioka, Takashi Kanematsu, Masahiro Irifune, Yukio Ago

“…Objective Both periodontal disease and obesity are risk factors for dementia, but their links to 1brain function remain unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of oral infection with a periodontal pathogen on cognitive function in a mouse model of obesity, focusing on the roles of microglia.Methods To create a mouse model of diet-induced obesity and periodontitis, male C57BL/6 J mice were first fed a high-fat diet containing 60% lipid calories for 18 weeks, beginning at 12 weeks of age, to achieve diet-induced obesity. …”

Ribose Supplementation Alone or with Elevated Creatine Does Not Preserve High Energy Nucleotides or Cardiac Function in the Failing Mouse Heart. by Kiterie M E Faller, Debra J Medway, Dunja Aksentijevic, Liam Sebag-Montefiore, Jürgen E Schneider, Craig A Lygate, Stefan Neubauer

“…<h4>Conclusion</h4>Elevating myocardial ribose and creatine levels failed to maintain TAN pool or improve post-infarction LV remodeling and function. This suggests that ribose is not rate-limiting for purine nucleotide biosynthesis in the chronically failing mouse heart and that alternative strategies to preserve TAN pool should be investigated.…”

Development of a neural network-based risk prediction model for mild cognitive impairment in older adults with functional disability by Deyan Liu, Yuge Tian, Min Liu, Shangjian Yang

“…Results The results indicated that residence location, alcohol consumption, life satisfaction, depressive symptoms, and education level are key factors influencing the risk of MCI among older adults with functional disability. Among the models, the neural network achieved the best overall performance (Accuracy: 0.71, Precision: 0.70, Recall: 0.74, F1 Score: 0.72, ROC AUC: 0.80) with stable results across both the training and test sets. …”
