J Clin Med . 2024 Apr; 13(7). PMID: 38610885
Childhood obesity is a globally increasing pathological condition leading to long-term health issues such as cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to determine the clinical value of...

Marra A, Bondesan A, Caroli D, Sartorio A
J Clin Med . 2024 Apr; 13(5). PMID: 38592161
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a globally increasing pathological condition. Recent research highlighted the utility of complete blood count-derived (CBC) inflammation indexes to predict MetS in adults with obesity. This study...

Danielewicz A, Lazzer S, Marra A, Abbruzzese L, DAlleva M, De Martino M, et al.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) . 2023 Nov; 14:1283155. PMID: 38027183
Background: In the last decade a large number of studies proposed and/or validated equations to estimate the Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) in adults and/or older adults, however, no equation currently...

Marra A, Bondesan A, Caroli D, Grugni G, Sartorio A
BMC Endocr Disord . 2023 May; 23(1):121. PMID: 37237368
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) associated with obesity is a pathological condition increasing worldwide. Recent studies have demonstrated that the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be successfully used to stage MetS...

Marra A, Masson F, Lemaitre B
Microlife . 2023 May; 2:uqab008. PMID: 37223258
Iron is involved in numerous biological processes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and is therefore subject to a tug-of-war between host and microbes upon pathogenic infections. In the fruit fly...

Lazzer S, DAlleva M, Isola M, De Martino M, Caroli D, Bondesan A, et al.
J Clin Med . 2023 May; 12(9). PMID: 37176497
Recent evidence shows that simple and inexpensive anthropometric measurements can be used to identify, at an early stage, women with obesity at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS). Thus,...

PLoS Pathog . 2021 Aug; 17(8):e1009846. PMID: 34432851
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster combats microbial infection by producing a battery of effector peptides that are secreted into the haemolymph. Technical difficulties prevented the investigation of these short effector...

PLoS One . 2021 Apr; 16(4):e0250524. PMID: 33914801
Insects are frequently infected with heritable bacterial endosymbionts. Endosymbionts have a dramatic impact on their host physiology and evolution. Their tissue distribution is variable with some species being housed intracellularly,...
