Dietary supplementation with chestnut (Castanea sativa) reduces abdominal adipo...
Rodrigues, P; Ferreira, T; Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Seixas, F; Costa, RMG; Martins, T; Neuparth, MJ; Pires, MJ; Lanzarin, G; Félix, LM; Venâncio, CThe production of chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller) is mostly concentrated in Europe. Chestnut is recognized by its high content of antioxidants and phytosterols. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary chestnut consumption over physiological variables of FVB/n mice. Eighteen FVB/n male 7-month-old mice were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 6): 1 (control group) fed a standard die...
Inhalation of Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibrils triggers an inflammatory response...
Silva-Carvalho, R; Silva, JP; Ferreirinha, P; Leitão, AF; Andrade, FK; Costa, RMG; Cristelo, C; Rosa, MF; Vilanova, M; Gama, FMIn view of the growing industrial use of Bacterial cellulose (BC), and taking into account that it might become airborne and be inhaled after industrial processing, assessing its potential pulmonary toxic effects assumes high relevance. In this work, the murine model was used to assess the effects of exposure to respirable BC nanofibrils (nBC), obtained by disintegration of BC produced by Komagataeibacter hanse...
