Ion-exchange chromatography used to isolate a spermadhesin-related protein from...
Teixeira, Dárcio Ítalo Alves; Melo, Luciana Magalhães; Gadelha, Carlos Alberto de Almeida; Cunha, Rodrigo Maranguape Silva da; Bloch Júnior, CarlosMammalian seminal plasma contains among others, proteins called spermadhesins, which are the major proteins of boar and stallion seminal plasma. These proteins appear to be involved in capacitation and sperm-egg interaction. Previously, we reported the presence of a protein related to spermadhesins in goat seminal plasma. In the present study, we have further characterized this protein, and we propose ion-excha...
Heme oxygenase-1/biliverdin/carbon monoxide pathway downregulates hypernocicept...
Chaves, Hellíada Vasconcelos; Val, Danielle Rocha do; Ribeiro, Kátia Alves; Lemos, Jonas Cavalcante; Souza, Ricardo BastoCHAVES, Hellíada Vasconcelos; Objective and design To investigate the role of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), carbon monoxide (CO), and biliverdin (BVD) in the zymosan-induced TMJ arthritis in rats. Materials and Methods Mechanical threshold was assessed before and 4 h after TMJ arthritis induction in rats. Cell influx, myeloperoxidase activity, and histological changes were measured in the TMJ lavages and tissues. Tr...
Glutamine and ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate supplementation on malate dehydroge...
Guimarães Filho, Artur; Cunha, Rodrigo Maranguape Silva da; Vasconcelos, Paulo Roberto Leitão de; Guimarães, Sergio BotelhoPURPOSE: To evaluate the relative gene expression (RGE) of cytosolic (MDH1) and mitochondrial (MDH2) malate dehydrogenases enzymes in partially hepatectomized rats after glutamine (GLN) or ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) suplementation. METHODS: One-hundred and eight male Wistar rats were randomly distributed into six groups (n=18): CCaL, GLNL and OKGL and fed calcium caseinate (CCa), GLN and OKG, 0.5g/Kg b...
