Docosahexaenoic Acid and Eicosapentaenoic Acid Intakes Modulate the Association of FADS2 Gene Polymorphism rs526126 with Plasma Free Docosahexaenoic Acid Levels in Overweight Children

Alexandra Mihăilescu, Vlad Serafim, Corina Paul, Nicoleta Andreescu et autres

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are involved in a wide variety of biological functions. Linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid are two essential fatty acids that the body cannot synthesize. The conversion rates in the body depend on FADS2 genetic variants. Certain variations in this …

CHDH-PNPLA3 Gene–Gene Interactions Predict Insulin Resistance in Children with Obesity

Adela Chiriță-Emandi, Costela Lăcrimioara Șerban, Corina Paul, Nicoleta Andreescu et autres

Introduction: Insulin resistance plays a major role in metabolic syndrome and is recognized as the most common risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Identifying predictors for insulin resistance could optimize screening and prevention. Purpose: To evaluate the contribution of multiple …

Detection of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase and Carbapenemase Activity in Gram-Negative Bacilli Using Liquid Chromatography – Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Vlad Serafim, Ajit J. Shah, Monica Licker, Florin George Horhat et autres

Purpose: Several mass spectrometry-based methods for antimicrobial sensitivity testing have been described in recent years. They offer an alternative to commercially available testing systems which were considered to have disadvantages in terms of cost- and time-efficiency. The aim of this study was …

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in PEMT and MTHFR Genes are Associated with Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acid Levels in the Red Blood Cells of Children with Obesity

Vlad Serafim, Adela Chiriță-Emandi, Nicoleta Andreescu, Diana-Andreea Tiugan et autres

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play important roles in health and disease. PUFA levels are influenced by nutrition and genetic factors. The relationship between PUFA composition in red blood cells (RBCs) and genetic variations involved in PUFA metabolism has not been investigated in …

Development and Validation of a LC–MS/MS-Based Assay for Quantification of Free and Total Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids from Human Plasma

Vlad Serafim, Diana-Andreea Tiugan, Nicoleta Andreescu, Alexandra Mihăilescu et autres

Few high-performance liquid chromatography⁻tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods have been developed for the full quantitation of fatty acids from human plasma without derivatization. Therefore, we propose a method that requires fewer sample preparation steps, which can be used for the quantitation of …

The Cytotoxic Effects of Betulin-Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles as Stable Formulations in Normal and Melanoma Cells

Marius Mioc, Ioana Zinuca Pavel, Roxana Ghiulai, Dorina Coricovac et autres

Gold nanoparticles are currently investigated as theranostics tools in cancer therapy due to their proper biocompatibility and increased efficacy related to the ease to customize the surface properties and to conjugate other molecules. Betulin, (lup-20(29)-ene-3β, 28-diol), is a pentacyclic triterpene that has …
