Efects of açai on oxidative stress, ER stress, and infammationrelated parameter...
Carvalho, Mayara Medeiros de Freitas; Lage, Nara Nunes; Paulino, Alice Helena de Souza; Pereira, Renata Rebeca; Almeida, Letícia TrindadeNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most predominant liver disease worldwide, is a progressive condition that encompasses a spectrum of disorders ranging from steatosis to steatohepatitis, and, ultimately, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although the underlying mechanism is complex and multifactorial, several intracellular events leading to its progression have been identified, including oxid...
Antioxidant effects of oral Ang-(1-7) restore insulin pathway and RAS component...
Figueiredo, Vivian Paulino; Barbosa, Maria Andréa; Castro, Uberdan Guilherme Mendes de; Zacarias, Aline Cruz; Bezerra, Frank SilvaIn prevention studies of metabolic syndrome (MetS), Ang-(1-7) has shown to improve the insulin signaling. We evaluated the HPβCD/Ang-(1-7) treatment on lipid metabolism, renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components, oxidative stress, and insulin pathway in the liver and gastrocnemius muscle and hepatic steatosis in rats with established MetS. After 7 weeks of high-fat (FAT) or control (CT) diets, rats were treated...
Açai improves non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by fructose.
Carvalho, Mayara Medeiros de Freitas; Reis, Larissa Lélis Teixeira; Lopes, Juliana Márcia Macedo; Lage, Nara Nunes; Guerra, Joyce Ferreira da CostaIntroduction: the excessive consumption of fructose can cause liver damage, characteristic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with changes in lipid metabolism and antioxidant defenses. Açai, the fruit of Euterpe oleracea Mart., has demonstrated numerous biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and lipid metabolism modulating action. Objective: we evaluated the benefi...
Aqueous extract of Baccharis trimera improves redox status and decreases the se...
Rabelo, Ana Carolina Silveira; Araújo, Glaucy Rodrigues de; Lúcio, Karine de Pádua; Araújo, Carolina Morais; Miranda, Pedro Henrique de AmorimThe metabolism of ethanol occurs mainly in the liver, promoting increase of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen, leading to redox imbalance. Therefore, antioxidants can be seen as an alternative to reestablish the oxidizing/reducing equilibrium. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and hepatoprotective effect of aqueous extract of Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC., Asteraceae, in a model of hepato...
Oral formulation of DPP-4 inhibitor plus Quercetin improves metabolic homeostas...
Miranda, Pedro Henrique de Amorim; Lacerda, Kíssyla Christine Duarte; Araújo, Carolina Morais; Barichello, José Mario; Lima, Wanderson Geraldo deThis study aimed to investigate the potential of an oral formulation (QV formulation) containing Quercetin and a Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor (DPP-4 inhibitor), Vildagliptin, in improving metabolic homeostasis in type 1 diabetes model. Female albino Fischer rats were divided into four groups: untreated control animals (C), untreated diabetic animals (D), diabetic animals treated with QV formulation (DQV), a...
Araçá (Psidium cattleianum Sabine) ameliorates liver damage and reduces hepatic...
Paulino, Alice Helena de Souza; Viana, Ana Maria Fernandes; Bonomo, Larissa de Freitas; Guerra, Joyce Ferreira da Costa; Lopes, Juliana Márcia MacedoBioactive compounds, present in some foods, act enhancing the endogenous antioxidant system and are proposed as an effective strategy in preventing the changes induced by free radicals in some diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). There has been an increase in the number of studies carried out with the aim of finding natural antioxidant compounds present in fruits, mainly the native fruits...
Biodegradable seeds of holmium don´t change neurological function after implant...
Diniz, Mirla Fiuza; Ferreira, Diogo Milioli; Lima, Wanderson Geraldo de; Pedrosa, Maria Lúcia; Silva, Marcelo Eustáquio; Araujo, Stanley de AlmeidaAim: To evaluate the surgical procedure and parenchymal abnormalities related to implan-tation of ceramic seeds with holmium-165 in rats’ brain.Background: An effective method of cancer treatment is brachytherapy in which radioactiveseeds are implanted in the tumor, generating a high local dose of ionizing radiation thatcan eliminate tumor cells while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue. BiodegradableHo16...
Accelerated Blood Clearance (ABC) phenomenon favors the accumulation of tartar ...
Lopes, Tamara Cristina Moreira; Silva, Débora Faria; Costa, Walyson Coelho; Frezard, Frederic Jean Georges; Barichello, José MarioTartar emetic (TE) was the first drug used to treat leishmaniasis.However, its use was discontinued due to high toxicity. Association of TE with liposomes is a strategy to reduce its side effects. Pegylated liposomes (Lpeg) present lower rates of uptake by macrophages and prolonged circulation compared to their nonpegylated counterparts. However, repeated administration of Lpeg can cause an Accelerated Blood Cl...
Chagas cardiomyopathy : the potential effect of benznidazole treatment on diast...
Santos, Fabiane Matos dos; Mazzeti, Ana Lia; Caldas, Sérgio; Gonçalves, Karolina Ribeiro; Lima, Wanderson Geraldo de; Torres, Rosália MoraisCardiac involvement represents the main cause of mortality among patients with Chagas disease, and therelevance of trypanocidal treatment to improving diastolic dysfunction is still doubtful. In the presentstudy, we used a canine model infected with the benznidazole-sensitive Berenice-78 Trypanosoma cruzistrain to verify the efficacy of an etiologic treatment in reducing the parasite load and ameliorating cardi...
Parametric modal dynamic analysis of steel-concrete composite beams with deform...
Lima, Wanderson Geraldo de; Neves, Francisco de Assis das; Sousa Junior, João Batista Marques deComposite structural elements of steel-concrete began to be used only in 1960 after the development of methods and constructive dispositions that ensured the functionality of these two materials together. In order to verify the importance of the participation of the axial mode in the frequency spectrum of the free vibration problem in composite beams with deformable shear connection, several analyses for 4 diff...
