The general consensus among sport and exercise genetics researchers is that genetic tests have no role to play in talent ...

Our aim was to investigate whether polymorphisms in ACE and ACTN3 are associated with elite swimmer status in Caucasian and East Asian populations. Methods: ACE I/D and ACTN3 R577X genotyping was ...

In order to effectively combat money laundering and terrorist financing carried out by means of cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets, certain conditions must be met. First, there must be a sufficient and ...

Previous studies concerning the relevance of BDKRB2 gene polymorphisms revealed that the absence (-9 allele) of a nine-base-pair sequence in exon 1 of the BDKRB2 gene is correlated with higher ...

It has been suggested that DNA hypomethylation because of poorer effectiveness of the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme induces muscular growth. We hypothesised that the common, ...

This thesis aimed to make a critical contribution to research and practice relating to Emergency Department (ED) coding practices and staff decision-making for people attending in suicidal crisis.

Purpose: In red skeletal muscle, monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) is required for lactate to enter the myocytes for oxidation. The A1470T polymorphism (rs1049434) in the MCT1 gene was shown to be ...

The physiological effects of short-term low energy availability have been characterised in females; however, the responses of males are less well understood. The aim of this thesis was to examine the ...

Introduction: Eugenin (5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-one) is a bioactive phytoalexin mainly found as a bitter component in carrots (Daucus carota L.; Apiaceae) and cloves [Syzygium ...

Objective: The functional 577R allele of the α-actinin-3 (ACTN3) gene has been reported to be associated with elite power athlete status, while the nonfunctional 577XX genotype (predicts an ...

Hypoxiainducible factor-1a (encoded by HIF1A gene) controls a number of genes that are implicated in various cellular functions including glycolysis and cell proliferation and differentiation. The ...
