Various physiologic stresses affect the survival and functionality of microbes in the GI tract, and resistance to physiologic stresses is a desirable feature of probiotics.
Second, age-related physiologic changes affect the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of medications.
Iron-deficient anemia can be caused by a lack of dietary iron, blood loss, or a physiologic defect affecting iron bioavailability, uptake, or transfer into the circulation.
The broad scope of physiologic activities affected by Nrf2 promises to make this pathway an increasingly important target for therapeutic strategies related to a vast range of diseases and conditions.
To assess the variation in the association between dietary cadmium intake and urinary cadmium in the general population, various individual physiologic parameters affecting the internal dose of cadmium need to be taken into account.
Thus, in the absence of fluctuation in the prevalence of dysglycemia, we queried whether the groups exhibited differential changes over this 9-month period in physiologic factors affecting glucose homeostasis including obesity, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function.
Such recruitment is an anatomical phenomenon depending exclusively on penetration of gas into poorly aerated or non-aerated lung regions, whereas arterial oxygenation is a complex physiologic parameter affected by multiple factors such as the extent of lung aeration, regional pulmonary flow, cardiac index, and oxygen delivery.
In this study, we are interested in the composite equilibrium score and also the somatosensory and vestibular sensory ratios, since the latter may show differential effects of the 2 interventions on physiologic systems affected by cancer chemotherapy that impair stability (i.e., neuropathy and vestibular impairment).
These vastly different exposures and outcomes demonstrating stress pollutant interactions and the many physiologic systems affected by stress (e.g., sympathetic regulation, immune function, glucocorticoid production) suggest potential stress-related modifications in a wide range of pollutant exposures on health outcomes.
Vitamin D has several complex physiologic actions that affect calcium, phosphorus, and bone metabolism.
