Physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA) are inversely associated with body mass index and waist circumference (WC), whereas sedentary time (ST) seems to boost obesity in youth. The aim was to examine the associations of each selected PF test, PA-related exposures, and specific ST patterns with obesity and determine the most relevant ones,…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to compare moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with walking in terms of the association with metabolic syndrome components in Korean older adults.

A total of 1,388 older adults (age≥65 years) from the Korea National Health And Nutrition Examine Survey 2018 were included in this study. MVPA time and w…[Read more]

Our study aimed to measure physicians’ perception of SDM and establish the relationship between physicians’ perception of SDM and prescribing behavior in patients with upper respiratory tract…[Read more]

Proteins naturally expressed in eukaryotic organisms often require host chaperones, binding partners, and posttranslational modifications for correct folding. Ideally the heterologous expression system chosen should be as similar to the natural host as possible. For example, mammalian proteins should be expressed in mammalian expression systems.…[Read more]
