Thirty clinically and apparently healthy cows we...

The manifestation of COVID-19 severity and mortality has been associated with dysregulation of the immune response, often influenced by racial disparities and conferred by changes in hematological and immunological parameters. The biological and hematological parameters as well as the cytokine profiles have been investigated in a cohort of 61 COVID...

Different types of proteins, minerals and micronutrients have a significant role in the development of insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Recently, it has been revealed that increased serum ferritin, reflecting iron overload can be associated with insulin resistance. This was a case-control study carried out to assess the assoc...
