Maia, José Cleves da Silva; Ferreira, Henrique Rafael Pontes; Silva, Lucas Emanuel Sousa e; Santana, Jailson da Silva; Leal, José Fabrício de CarvalhoObjective: mapping of the distribution of Aedes spp. in the urban area of the municipality of Picos, Piauí associating the climate variables and identification the dengue virus serotypes circulating in Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. Methods: Thirty larvitraps were installed in 10 neighborhoods in the urban area of the municipality. Larvae were collected weekly during the period from February 2017 to July 2...
Análise de proteínas salivares de corredores de rua após evento esportivo real
Amaral, Cícero Matheus Lima; Ponte, Iago Almeida da; Martins, Géssica de Souza; Lima, Daniel Freire; Lima Neto, Abelardo Barbosa MoreiraThe aim was to characterize acute exercise-induced changes in salivary proteins of street runners. Saliva samples from 12 adult male athletes were collected before and immediately after a street race. Two groups were formed based on the distance covered, 5 km (n=4) and 10 km (n=8). Samples were subjected to depletion of amylase, albumin and immunoglobulin G. Then they were concentrated, digested and analyzed by...
Development and application of a manual and virtual game for food education for...
Morais, Luciana Moura; Bezerra, Arnaldo Solheiro; Lima, Jakson Fernandes; Lima, Weslley Moreira Alencar de; Lima, Carla Laíne SilvaGames provide fun and can serve as a tool for learning and behavior change. Thus, the objective was to develop and apply a manual and virtual game to work on food education forchildren with Down Syndrome, with or without food allergy, seeking to instruct and compare the efficiency of the methodologies used through play. For the development of the virtual game software, the construction platform Delphi 10.1 Berl...
Evaluación de la citotoxicidad, genotoxicidad y toxicidad subcrónica de diéster...
Canabrava, Natália do Vale; Silva, Jose Ytalo Gomes da; Silva, Bruno Bezerra da; Holanda, Marcelo Oliveira; Lima, Carla Laine SilvaP-methoxycinnamic diesters from carnauba wax powder (PCO - C) – cinnamic acid derivate – have been associated with new properties such as hypolipidemic, hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycaemic effects in mice. The present study aimed to investigate the safety profile of PCO - C by evaluating the subchronic oral toxicity, genotoxicity and mutagenicity using in vivo experimental models. Therefore, for the present r...
p-Methoxycinnamic acid diesters lower dyslipidemia, liver oxidative stress and ...
Paim, Raquel Teixeira Terceiro; Rodrigues, Paula Salmito Alves; Silva, José Ytalo Gomes da; Paula Junior, Valdir Ferreira de; Silva, Bruno Bezerra daThe pursuit of cholesterol lowering natural products with less side e ects is needed for controlling dyslipidemia and reducing the increasing toll of cardiovascular diseases that are associated with morbidity and mortality worldwide. The present study aimed at the examining e ects of p-methoxycinnamic acid diesters (PCO-C) from carnauba (Copernicia prunifera)-derived wax on cytotoxic, genotoxic responses in vit...
Resposta imunológica humoral em camundongos imunizados com o "Vírus do Mosaico ...
Guedes, Maria Izabel FlorindoThe Cowpea Severe Mosaic Severo Virus (CPSMV) belongs to the Comovirus genus that infects plants of the legume, V. unguiculata causing serious shortage in the crop production of grains. The SDS-PAGE analysis of purified CPSMV revealed an electrophorectic profile with 3 protein bands of 42, 23 and 21 kDa. The purified CPSMV was used for subcutaneous immunization of swiss mice in two immunizing doses containing 1...
Physicochemical characteristics and gene expression of meat from does fed with ...
Silva, Aline Maia; Oliveira, Cláudio Henrique de Almeida; Fernandes, César Carneiro Linhares; Benjamin, Stephen RathinarajThis trial was carried out with the objective to evaluate the effect of feeding dried carnauba wax palm fruit on the quality of goat meat. Initially, the animals were divided into two groups: a control group, fed with ground corn-based concentrate, and a treatment group, fed with dried carnauba wax palm fruit included in the concentrate. After 28 days of feeding, the animals were slaughtered, and different musc...
Toxicity of food flavorings to ex-vivo, in vitro and in vivo bioassays
Santos, Fabelina Karollyne da Silva dos; Marques, Márcia Maria Mendes; Van Tilbulrg, Maurício Fraga; Guedes, Maria Izabel FlorindoThis study evaluated the toxicity of food flavorings of mint, cinnamon and lemon in meristem root cells of Allium cepa, in pure form (as marketed) and in the concentrations of 12.5, 25, and 50%, after 24 and 48 hours of exposure; in Vero cell culture evaluated by MTT test and in nauplii of Artemia salina, both tests used flavorings in pure form and in the concentrations of 0.78, 1.56, 3.12, 6.25, 12.5, 25, and ...
Proteomic analysis to identify candidate biomarkers associated with type 1 diab...
Oliveira, Valzimeire do Nascimento de; Lima-Neto, Abelardo Barbosa Moreira; Tilburg, Maurício Fraga van; Monteiro-Moreira, Ana Cristina de OliveiraPurpose: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) is one of the most common chronic diseases observed during childhood. The incidence of DM1 is increasing worldwide, and there is currently no way to prevent or delay the onset or to cure the disease. Most diseases, including diabetes, stem from abnormalities in the functioning of proteins, and some studies have reported the expression of protein variation to be involved i...
Industrial milk powder in bioassays for evaluation of cytotoxicity and genotoxi...
Moura, Rayssa Aléxia Martins; Marques, Marcia Maria Mendes; Pereira, Helena Mendes; Sales, Ila Monize Sousa; Santos, Fabelina Karolyne SousaConsidering the widespread consumption of milk powder by the general population as well as the lack of studies on the toxicity of such industrialized foods, this study evaluated the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of powdered milk from four reputed companies in the food market of Brazil and other South American countries. Milk samples were evaluated in root meristem cells of Allium cepa L., at concentrations ...
