The anti-tumour effect of spearmint (Mentha spicata) in a HPV-16-transgenic mou...
Jesus, T.M.; Silva-Reis, Rita; Pires, Maria João; Lanzarin, Germano; Félix, Luís; Venâncio, Carlos; Costa, Rui Miguel Gil; Bastos, Margarida M.S.M.Infection by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer, highlighting the importance of studying compounds that may reduce viral activity and its lesions/symptoms. The aromatic herb spearmint (Mentha spicata) (MS) has proven anti-tumour properties 1. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of an hydroethanolic extract obtained from spearmint in HPV16-transgenic (HPV+/-) mice. The ext...

Patwal, Tiago; Nascimento-Gonçalves, Elisabete; Macedo, Sara; Borges, Inês; Gama, Adelina; Costa, Rui Miguel Gil; Neuparth, Maria JoãoTilia platyphyllos Scop. is a popular broad-leaved tree, native to Central and Southern Europe. Hydroethanolic extracts rich in phenolic compounds obtained from T. platyphyllos Scop. have shown in vitro antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties. The aim of this work was to evaluate the therapeutic properties of a hydroethanolic extract obtained from T. platyphyllos in HPV16-transgenic mice. The an...

Rodrigues, Pedro M.; Ferreira, Tiago; Nascimento-Gonçalves, Elisabete; Seixas, Fernanda; Costa, Rui Miguel Gil; Martins, Tânia; Neuparth, Maria JoãoThe production of chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller) is mostly concentrated in Europe. Chestnut is recognized by its high content of antioxidants and phytosterols. This work aimed to evaluate the e ects of dietary chestnut consumption over physiological variables of FVB/n mice. Eighteen FVB/n male 7-month-old mice were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 6): 1 (control group) fed a standard diet...
