Role of proadrenomedullin in the progression of diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by A.M. Urbanovych, A.P. Vereshchynska

“…We found a significant increase in Pro-ADM level in patients with T2DM depending on the progression of DKD. The revealed correlations between Pro-ADM and clinical parameters of T2DM and the functional state of the kidneys indicate that the level of Pro-ADM is associated with the progression of DKD. …”

Soil fauna promote litter mixture effects on nitrogen release but not carbon or phosphorus during decomposition in a subtropical forest by Pengpeng Dou, Dunmei Lin

“…Our findings demonstrate decoupled mechanisms for C and nutrient cycling, where physical traits constrain mass loss and C release while synergistic litter diversity-soil fauna interactions enhance N mineralization, highlighting context-dependent diversity effects and underscoring the importance of integrating multi-element perspectives and faunal interactions to predict biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in detrital systems.…”

Characterization and possible valorization of grape skin in extruded crisps by Silvia Mironeasa, Mădălina Ungureanu-Iuga, Costel Mironeasa, Mircea-Adrian Oroian, Gelu-Marius Rotaru

“…Flour mixtures composition was assessed along with extruded products' properties in terms of digestibility, polyphenols, texture, physical, and functional properties. Grape skin increased (p < 0.05) the content of nutrients (from 7.20 to 9.53 % protein, from 1.32 to 3.36 % fat, from 6.74 to 28.10 % for fiber) in the flour mixtures and changed the color depending on the addition level and grape skin type. …”
