The administration of surfactant decreased oxidative stress in lungs of mice ex...
Machado, Dafne Fernandes; Campos, Keila Karine Duarte; Silva, Natália Pereira da; Ramos, Camila de Oliveira; Cangussú, Silvia DantasThe alveolar surfactant, which composition consists of a unique and complex mixture of lipids and proteins, has immunomodulatory action. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous surfactant on pulmonary inflammatory response in mice exposed to cigarette smoke (CS). Twenty-four mice C57BL/6 were divided into four groups: control group exposed to ambient air (CG); surfactant treated group (SG); CS exp...
The exposure to formaldehyde causes renal dysfunction, inflammation and redox i...
Ramos, Camila de Oliveira; Nardeli, Clarissa Rodrigues; Campos, Keila Karine Duarte; Pena, Karina Braga; Machado, Dafne FernandesTwenty-eight Fischer male rats were divided into four groups: control group (CG), exposed to the ambient air, and groups exposed to formaldehyde (FA) at concentrations of 1% (FA1%), 5% (FA5%) and 10% (FA10%). Kidney function was assessed by dosage of uric acid, creatinine and urea. Morphometry was performed on the thickness of the lumen of Bowman's capsule and diameter of the lumen of the renal tubules. We eval...
