DNA damage protective effect of honey-sweetened cashew apple nectar in Drosophi...
Silva,Robson Alves da; Dihl,Rafael Rodrigues; Dias,Lucas Pinheiro; Costa,Maiane Papke; Abreu,Bianca Regina Ribas de; Cunha,Kênya Silva; Lehmann,MauricioAbstract Fruits and derivatives, such as juices, are complex mixtures of chemicals, some of which may have mutagenic and/or carcinogenic potential, while others may have antimutagenic and/or anticancer activities. The modulating effects of honey-sweetened cashew apple nectar (HSCAN), on somatic mutation and recombination induced by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and mitomycin C (MMC) were evaluated with the wing ...
Occupational exposure of workers to pesticides: Toxicogenetics and susceptibili...
Adad,Lúcia Maria de Miranda; Andrade,Heloísa Helena Rodrigues de; Kvitko,Kátia; Lehmann,Mauricio; Cavalcante,Ana Amélia de Carvalho MeloFarm workers are often exposed to pesticides, which are products belonging to a specific chemical group that affects the health of agricultural workers and is mostly recognized as genotoxic and carcinogenic. The exposure of workers from Piauí, Brazil, to these hazardous chemicals was assessed and cytogenetic alterations were evaluated using the buccal micronucleus assay, hematological and lipid parameters, buty...
Effects of artichoke (Cynara scolymus) leaf and bloom head extracts on chemical...
Jacociunas,Laura Vicedo; Dihl,Rafael Rodrigues; Lehmann,Mauricio; Ferraz,Alexandre de Barros Falcão; Richter,Marc François; Silva,Juliana daThe genotoxicity of bloom head (BHE) and leaf (LE) extracts from artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.), and their ability to modulate the mutagenicity and recombinogenicity of two alkylating agents (ethyl methanesulfonate - EMS and mitomycin C - MMC) and the intercalating agent bleomycin (BLM), were examined using the somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) in Drosophila melanogaster. Neither the mutagenicity ...
Hepatics alterations and genotoxic effects of Croton cajucara Benth (SACACA) in...
Rodrigues,Graziella; Marcolin,Éder; Bona,Silvia; Porawski,Marilene; Lehmann,Mauricio; Marroni,Norma PossaCONTEXT: Croton cajucara Benth is a plant found in Amazonia, Brazil and the bark and leaf infusions of this plant have been popularly used to treat diabetes and hepatic disorders. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated effects hepatics alterations and genotoxic and antidiabetic effect of Croton cajucara Benth bark extracts treatment in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were divided in...
Micronuclei induced by reverse transcriptase inhibitors in mononucleated and bi...
Lourenço,Eloir D.; Amaral,Viviane S. do; Lehmann,Mauricio; Dihl,Rafael R.; Schmitt,Virginia M.; Cunha,Kênya S.; Reguly,Maria L.; Andrade,Heloisa H.R. deThis study evaluated the clastogenic and/or aneugenic potential of three nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (zidovudine - AZT, lamivudine - 3TC and stavudine - d4T) using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay in human lymphocyte cultures. All three inhibitors produced a positive response when tested in binucleated cells. The genotoxicity of AZT and 3TC was restricted to binucleated cells sinc...
