O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da suplementação de selênio (Se) no estresse oxidativo de ovários de ratas. Para isso, 36 ratas foram divididas em 3 grupos (grupo controle, grupo 1 - 48 μg de Se, e grupo 2 - 96 μg de Se), que passaram por gavagem diária com selênio quelado durante 6 semanas, e em seguida foram submetidas a histerectomia total e subsequente dosagem total de TIOL e TBARS dos ...

The present study aimed to assess anti-T. gondii antibodies in sheltered and free-roaming cats within a university campus that has an overlapping population of humans and livestock. A total of 51 cats were tested for anti-T. gondii antibodies using the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. Overall, 8/51 cats (15.7%) were seropositive. Cats were more likely to be seropositive when free-roaming (p= 0.008) and...
