Harmed Trait Self-Control: Why Do People with a Higher Dispositional Malicious Envy Experience Lower Subjective Wellbeing? A Cross-Sectional Study by Briki W.

“…Therefore, the present study is the first to examine the interrelationships between dispositional benign and malicious envy, trait self-control, demographics (i.e., sex and age) and subjective wellbeing. Four hundred six people (234 females and 172 males; M age=32.07, SD age=10.98, from 18 to 71 years old) took part voluntarily in the study and answered questions related to demographics, dispositional envy, trait self-control, and subjective wellbeing. …”

The effect of acute ophiobolin A treatment on HO-mediated inflammatory processes by Posa, Aniko

“…Male Wistar rats were treated with 5% ethanol, 0.01 mg/kg OPA, 0.1 mg/kg OPA and 1.0 mg/kg OPA per os. After 24 h of the administrations, inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme as well as heme oxygenase (HO) activity were measured in both plasma and cardiac tissue, along with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). …”
