Estado oxidativo em doentes de COVID-19 diabéticos

O novo coronavírus, síndrome respiratória aguda grave coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) é responsável pela mais recente doença infeciosa (Covid-19). Até à data, esta doença já infetou mais de 100 milhões de pessoas, tendo provocado mais de 2 milhões de mortes em todo o mundo. A diabetes tem sido identificada como um fator de risco importante para a progressão da síndrome respiratória aguda grave e mortalidade em doent...

Stress oxidativo em doentes com neuropatia diabética

A diabetes está associada a diversas morbilidades como a Neuropatia Diabética. Esta patologia é descrita como uma lesão nos nervos que ocorre devido à exposição prolongada à hiperglicemia. A neuropatia afeta indivíduos com diabetes tipo 1, mas principalmente os que têm diabetes tipo 2. Em caso de hiperglicemia, o excesso de glicose afeta diversas vias metabólicas provocando a acumulação de metabolitos tóxicos e...

Stress oxidativo em diabéticos com fígado gordo não-alcoólico

O fígado gordo não-alcoólico (FGNA) é caracterizado pela acumulação excessiva de gordura, especialmente triglicerídeos, nos hepatócitos. Estima-se que a prevalência de FGNA em todo o mundo seja aproximadamente 25%. A prevalência de FGNA em indivíduos com diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DMT2) é consideravelmente superior em relação aos indivíduos com diabetes mellitus tipo 1, sendo aproximadamente 70%. No entanto, há ...

Oxygenated monoterpenes-rich volatile oils as potential antifungal agents for d...

Essential oils (EOs) extracted from Lavandula luisieri and Cymbopogon citratus were tested for their antifungal activity against ten clinical isolates of dermatophytes isolated from cases of tinea pedis. Inhibition of conidial germination and antifungal drug/EO combination assay were tested on two ATCC reference strains of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. EOs were characterised by high amoun...

Study of the effects of foliar application of ABA during acclimatization

This study aims to elucidate the effects of abscisic acid (ABA) foliar application on plant hardening during ex vitro acclimatization using a forest model species Ulmus minor L. Plant leaves were sprayed with ABA (0, 50 and 100 μM) immediately after ex vitro transfer and twice a week for the first 3 weeks of acclimatization. After this period, parameters related with photosynthesis, hormone levels and oxidative...

Different responses of young and expanded lettuce leaves to fungicide Mancozeb:...

This work aimed to study the effects of commercial doses of the fungicide, Mancozeb, on the photosynthetic apparatus of lettuce young leaves (YL) and expanded leaves (EL). Seven days after Mancozeb application, chlorophyll a fluorescence, pigment contents, lipid peroxidation, and proline content were evaluated. Independently of leaf age, Mancozeb treatment reduced the efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry...

Study of the effects of foliar application of ABA during acclimatization

Photosynthetic parameters of Ulmus minor plantlets affected by irradiance durin...

In order to set up large-scale acclimatization protocols of micropropagated plants, an in-depth knowledge of their physiological responses during in vitro to ex vitro transfer is required. This work describes the photosynthetic performance of Ulmus minor micropropagated plants during acclimatization at high irradiance (HI; 200 ± 20 μmol m-2 s-1 or low irradiance (LI; 100 ± 20 μmol m-2 s-1). During this experime...

Effect of irradiance during acclimatization on content of proline and phytohorm...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of irradiance on plant growth and content of proline and phytohormones during ex vitro acclimatization of micropropagated Ulmus minor plants. In vitro rooted plants were acclimatized to ex vitro conditions in a climate chamber with two irradiances, 200 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) (high irradiance, HI) and 100 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) (low irradiance, LI) for 40 d. Immediately after ...
