Production of sustainable postbiotics from sugarcane straw for potential food a...
Oliveira, Ana L. S.; Seara, Marta; Carvalho, Maria João; Carvalho, Nelson Mota de; Costa, Eduardo M.; Silva, Sara; Duarte, Marco; Pintado, ManuelaThe production of postbiotics for food applications has been growing in recent years owing to their biological potential and superior technological performance over probiotics. Their production involves the use of synthetic culture media, and in this work, we propose using sugarcane straw as a source of sugar and biological components and a sustainable alternative. Thus, this by-product was used as a substrate ...

Hyperprolinemia as a clue in the diagnosis of a patient with psychiatric manife...
Duarte, Marco; Afonso, Joana; Moreira, Ana; Antunes, Diana; Ferreira, Cristina; Correia, Hildeberto; Sequeira, SilviaLately, microdeletions of the 22q region, responsible for DiGeorge syndrome or velocardiofacial syndrome, have been increasingly related to neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. These manifestations seem to be related to certain genes located in the hemideleted region such as the proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and the catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) genes. We describe a tee...
