Melatonin alleviates high temperature exposure induced fetal growth restriction via the gut-placenta-fetus axis in pregnant mice by Jia-Jin Wu, Xiaoyu Zheng, Caichi Wu, Wen Ma, Yibo Wang, Jun Wang, Yulong Wei, Xiangfang Zeng, Shihai Zhang, Wutai Guan, Fang Chen

“…In LPS-challenged pregnant mice, melatonin administration mitigated placental barrier injury and abnormal angiogenesis via the inactivation of the TLR4/MAPK/VEGF signaling pathway, ultimately leading to enhanced nutrient transportation in the placenta and thereby improving the fetal weight. Conclusion: Melatonin alleviates HS-induced low fetal weight during pregnancy via the gut-placenta-fetus axis, the first time highlighting the gut microbiota as a novel intervention target to mitigate the detrimental impact of global temperature rise on vulnerable populations.…”

Working capital, profitability, liquidity and solvency of healthcare insurance companies by André Luiz de Souza Guimarães, Valcemiro Nossa

“…Through an empirical and analytical research, the analysis of variance results (ANOVA) of a sample containing financial information from 621 healthcare insurance companies for the year 2006 ,show that different working capital structures are associated with different levels of profitability, liquidity and solvency, suggesting a preference order different from the one theorized by Fleuriet / Braga. The results indicate that a certain structure - where financial current assets exceed onerous current liabilities, and cyclical current assets exceed cyclical current liabilities ¿ is associated with higher levels of profitability, liquidity and solvency. …”
