Hydroalcoholic extract of Brazilian green propolis modulates inflammatory proce...
Miranda, Marina Barcelos de; Lanna, Mariana Ferreira; Nascimento, Ana Luiza Barros; Paula, Carmen Aparecida de; Silva, Marcelo EustáquioThe occurrence of inflammation and protein malnutrition is an aggravating risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the clinical setting. The green propolis, a natural product made by Apis mellifera bees from Baccharis dracunculifolia resin, has therapeutic potential to modulate chronic inflammation. However, its effect on inflammation in an impaired nutritional status is not known. The aim of this study was t...
Trypanosoma cruzi antigens induce inflammatory angiogenesis in a mouse subcutan...
Silva, Francisca Hildemagna Guedes da; Bajracharya, Deena Shrestha; Salles, Beatriz Cristina Silveira; Figueiredo, Vivian Paulino; Lopes, Laís RoqueteAcute inflammation and angiogenesis are persistent features of several pathological conditions induced by biological agents leading to the resolution of local and systemic events. Glycoproteins derived from the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi are suggested to mediate angiogenesis induced by inflammatory cells with still undescribed mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of total antigen from trypoma...
Brazilian green propolis modulates inflammation, angiogenesis and fibrogenesis ...
Lima, Luiza Dias da Cunha; Andrade, Silvia Passos de; Campos, Paula Peixoto; Barcelos, Luciola da Silva; Soriani, Frederico MarianettiBackground: Chronic inflammatory processes in the peritoneal cavity develop as a result of ischemia, foreign body reaction, and trauma. Brazilian green propolis, a beeswax product, has been shown to exhibit multiple actions on inflammation and tissue repair. Our aim was to investigate the effects of this natural product on the inflammatory, angiogenic, and fibrogenic components of the peritoneal fibroproliferat...
Blockade of CXCR1/2 chemokine receptors protects against brain damage in ischem...
Sousa, Larissa Fonseca da Cunha; Coelho, Fernanda Matos; Rodrigues, David Henrique; Campos, Alline Cristina; Barcelos, Luciola da SilvaOBJECTIVE: Ischemic stroke may result from transient or permanent reductions of regional cerebral blood flow. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils have been described as the earliest inflammatory cells to arrive in ischemic tissue. CXCR1/2 receptors are involved in the recruitment of these cells. However, the contribution of these chemokine receptors during transient brain ischemia in mice remains poorly understood. I...
