Loss, amplification or mistiming of the daily rhythms of metabolic markers in patients with cirrhosis
Lewis HM, Isherwood CM, Mani AR, Middleton B, Morgan MY, Skene DJ, Montagnese S JHEP Reports Background & aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the temporal dynamics of metabolites in patients with cirrhosis using hourly plasma samples collected over a full 24-hour cycle in 17 outpatients with cirrhosis of varying severity […]

Roccarina D, Saltini D, Senzolo M, Nardelli S, Rosi M, Adotti V, Bianchini M, Biribin L, Gioia S, Caporali C, Ragozzino L, Guasconi T, Falcini M, Casari F, Piscopo A, Pindozzi F, Gitto S, Aspite S, Falcone G, Ingravallo A, Gaggini M, Ferdinande K, Arena U, Merli M, Ridola L, Riggio O, Fanelli F, Mangini […]
Plasma Ammonia Levels Over the Course of a Hospitalisation for Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy
Erminelli D, Mangini C, Gapeni D, Zarantonello L, Montagnese S Liver International Background & aims: The role of ammonia in the assessment of Overt Hepatic Encephalopathy (OHE) remains debated. The aim of the present study was to assess the time course of ammonia levels in relation to the severity and duration of an episode of OHE […]
Cold-Sensing TRP Channels and Temperature Preference Modulate Ovarian Development in the Model Organism Drosophila melanogaster
Andreatta G, Montagnese S, Costa R International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) Temperature is perceived primarily via transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, which are integral to the molecular machinery sensing environmental and cellular signals. Functional evidence of TRP channels’ involvement in regulating cold-induced developmental/reproductive responses remains scarce. Here, we show that mutations affecting cold-sensing TRP […]
