However, research on the mechanisms underlying this association is scarce. The present study aimed to test four serial indirect path models to examine whether caregivers’ insecure attachment is related to children’s food consumption, through its influence on emotional and feeding responsiveness. A total of 352 caregivers of preschool childr...
Binding of synthetic cannabinoids to human serum albumin: site characterization...
Santos, Rita M. G.; Lima, Rita; Cravo, Sara; Fernandes, Pedro Alexandrino; Remião, Fernando; Fernandes, CarlaBackground: The use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) has been increasing since the beginning of the 2000s, with synthetic cannabinoids being one of the most reported groups.

Evaluation of antitumor activity of xanthones conjugated with amino acids
Barbosa, Flávia; Araújo, Joana; F. Gonçalves , Virgínia M.; Palmeira, Andreia; Cunha, Andrea; A.

Multiresistance to conventional chemotherapy drugs is often the cause of treatment failure; thus, the search for natural products or their derivatives with therapeutic action is essential. Chiral derivatives of xanthones (CDXs) have ...
Synthesis and structure elucidation of dihydro-metabolites of the synthetic cat...
Almeida , Ana Sofia; Silva, Bárbara; Remião, Fernando; de Pinho, Paula Guedes; Fernandes, CarlaBackground: Synthetic cathinones are new psychoactive substances widely abused due to their psychostimulant effects. Among them, pentedrone and methylone are part of the most consumed in the USA and Europe [1]. The metabolism of synthetic cathinones is well described in literature. Methylone can undergo, for instance, N-demethylation, O-demethylation, N-oxidation, and β-keto reduction to afford the metabolites ...

Pérez-Pereira, Ariana; Costa, Pedro A.; Castro, Bruno B.; Carrola, João S.; Gonçalves, Virgínia M. F.; Ribeiro, Ana R. L.; Fernandes, CarlaBackground: The abuse of synthetic cathinones (SC) is popular among young consumers for recreational purposes and has increased dramatically in the last years. Consequently, SC have been found in the aquatic environment at low concentrations [1]. Since SC are designed to change nervous system function, they may pose unpredictable harmful effects on non-target organisms, such as aquatic invertebrates [2]. Many S...
