Introduction: The Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is a valuable tool for evaluating the signs and symptoms of ataxia and grading its severity. Objectives: To contribute to the translation, cross-cultural adaptation of SARA for the Portuguese population, and to create and validate a manual for healthcare professionals. Materials and Methods: This study included two distinct phases: the first...
Structured lipids (SLs) are novel triacylglycerols obtained by changing the native fatty acid (FA) profiles or by the incorporation of a new desired FA in the acylglycerol backbone. These modified fats present important medical and functional properties for food applications. This work aimed to synthetize a MLM-type SL, which consists of triacylglycerols containing a medium-chain FA (M) at sn-1,3 positions and ...
