The influence of large-scale density fluctuations on structure formation on small scales is
described by the three-point correlation function (bispectrum) in the so-called``squeezed
configurations,''in which one wavenumber, say k 3, is much smaller than the other two, ie, k
3<< k 1≈ k 2. This bispectrum is generated by non-linear gravitational evolution and
possibly also by inflationary physics. In this paper, we use this fact to show that the
bispectrum in the squeezed configurations can be measured without employing three-point�…

Objective. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the xanthine oxidase (XO)
activity in metabolic syndrome in subjects submitted to a single exercise session. We also
investigated parameters of oxidative and inflammatory status. Materials/Methods. A case‐
control study (9 healthy and 8 MS volunteers) was performed to measure XO, superoxide
dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase activities, lipid peroxidation, high‐sensitivity C‐
reactive protein (hsCRP) content, glucose levels, and lipid profile. Body mass indices�…
