BACKGROUND Olive oil and its minor constituents have been recommended as important dietary therapeutic interventions in preventive medicine. However, a question remains to be addressed: what are the effects of olive oil and its phenolic compounds on obesity-induced cardiac metabolic changes? METHODS Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups (n = 24/group): (C) receiving standard-chow; (Ob...

This article gives an introduction to arithmetic motivic integration in the context of p-adic integrals that arise in representation theory. A special case of the fundamental lemma is interpreted as an identity of Chow motives.

The purpose of this paper is to develop an equivariant intersection theory for actions of linear algebraic groups on algebraic schemes. The theory is based on our construction of equivariant Chow groups. They are algebraic analogues of equivariant cohomology groups which have all the functorial properties of ordinary Chow groups. In addition, they enjoy many of the properties of equivariant coh...

A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of administering praziquantel (PZQ), focusing on the liver stereological findings of malnourished mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni. Thirty female Swiss Webster mice (age: 21 days; weight: 8-14 g) were fed either a low-protein diet (8%) or standard chow (22% protein) for 15 days. Five mice in each group were infected with 50 cercariae each o...

We extend a result of to Esnault-Levine-Viehweg concerning the Chow groups of hypersurfaces in projective space to those in weighted projective spaces.

We describe the Chow ring with rational coefficients of the moduli space of stable maps with marked points M0,m(P , d) as the subring of invariants of a ring B(M0,m(P , d);Q), relative to the action of the group of symmetries Sd. B (M0,m(P , d);Q) is computed by following a sequence of intermediate spaces for M0,m(P , d) and relating them to substrata of M0,1(P , d + m − 1). An additive basis f...

This paper studies the canonical Chow quotient of a smooth projective variety by a reductive algebraic group. The main observation of this paper is that, over the field of complex numbers, the Chow quotient admits symplectic and other topological interpretations, namely, symplectically, the moduli spaces of stable orbits with prescribed momentum charges; and topologically, the moduli space of s...

The interaction between ghrelin and adiponectin is still controversial. We investigated the effect of cafeteria diet and pioglitazone on body weight, insulin resistance, and adiponectin/ghrelin levels in an experimental study on male Wistar rats. The animals were divided into four groups of 6 rats each, and received balanced chow with saline (CHOW-O) or pioglitazone (CHOW-P), or a cafeteria die...
