The Cardiometabolic Impact of Rebaudioside A Exposure during the Reproductive S...
Bracchi, I; Morais, J; Coelho, JA; Ferreira, AF; Alves, I; Mendes, C; Correia, B; Gonçalves, A; Guimarães, JT; Pires, IF; Keating, E; Negrão, RThe consumption of non-sugar sweeteners (NSS) has increased during pregnancy. The European Food Safety Agency suggested that steviol glycosides, such as Rebaudioside A (RebA), the major sweetener component of stevia, are safe for humans up to a dose of 4 mg/kg body weight/day. However, the World Health Organization recommended in 2023 the restraint of using NSS, including stevia, at any life stage, highlighting...
Potential Pathogenic and Opportunistic Oral Bacteria in Early Life: The Role of...
Fernandes, M; Azevedo, MJ; Campos, C; Ferreira, AF; Azevedo, A; Falcão-Pires, I; Zaura, E; Ramalho, C; Campos, J; Sampaio-Maia, BIn early life, maternal factors are of the utmost relevance for oral microbiome acquisition and maturation. Therefore, our study explored the impact of maternal factors, such as saliva and breastmilk colonization, cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), type of delivery, oral health, and caregiving habits on the prevalence of potential pathogenic and opportunistic oral bacteria in early life. A total of 26 healthy m...
Can mitochondrial malondialdehyde content be a useful tool to evaluate sea lamp...
Candeias, Marta; Alves-Pereira, I; Lança, MJ; Ferreira, AF; Quintella, BR; Almeida, PR; Ferreira, RThe sea lamprey is an anadromous species that migrates twice during its life cycle between freshwater and seawater. Microphagous larvae generally spend 4–5 years burrowed in the substrate of rivers and streams before undergoing metamorphosis that ends with the beginning of the juvenile trophic migration. Once metamorphosis is complete, sea lamprey juvenile downstream migrants are fully tolerant to seawater sali...

Candeias, M; Alves-Pereira, I; Lança, MJ; Ferreira, AF; Quintella, BR; Almeida, PR; Ferreira, RThe sea lamprey is an anadromous species that migrates twice during its life cycle between freshwater and seawater. Microphagous larvae generally spend 4–5 years burrowed in the substrate of rivers and streams before undergoing metamorphosis that ends with the beginning of the juvenile trophic migration. Once metamorphosis is complete, sea lamprey juvenile downstream migrants are fully tolerant to 35 PSU seawat...
Hepatic mitochondrial content in malondialdehyde may be a marker of sea lamprey...
Candeias, M; Alves-Pereira, I; Lança, MJ; Ferreira, AF; Quintella, BR; Almeida, PR; Ferreira, RThe atrazine attracts special attention as pollutant because of itspersistence in the aquatic environment. Although this herbicide has been studied in teleost, its toxicity in the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus is still poorly understood. Oxidative stress may occur if chemical pollutants contribute to block the capacity of mitochondria to generate ATP with continuous production of reactive oxygen species (ROS)...
Different profile of hepatic biotransformation system detected in the Petromyzo...
Candeias, M; Alves-Pereira, I; Lança, MJ; Ferreira, AF; Quintella, BR; Almeida, PRBiotransformation enzymes catalyze oxidation of a diversity of xenobiotics, doing a key role in its detoxication. CYP1A and GST expression, induced by pollutants, seems to be highly conserved across vertebrate taxa. Since this system acts as a defense mechanism, the intra or interspecies differences have been attributed to adaptations to different habitats and trophic strategies. Thus, the main goal of this stu...
Seronegative infection and AIDS caused by an A2 subsubtype HIV-1
Cardoso, AR; Goncalves, C; Pascoalinho, D; Gil, C; Ferreira, AF; Bartolo, I; Taveira, NThe study of true seronegative HIV-1 infections may have important implications for the diagnosis and prevention of HIV-1 infection. The case of an AIDS patient with persistently negative HIV serology is described. Genetic and phylogenetic analysis indica
