Photoperiod is an important environmental characteristic involved in the regulation of circadian physiological processes in living organisms. This experiment verified the effect of photoperiod on biomass gain and mortality in juvenile scorpions of the species Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). We maintained the juvenile scorpions under two different photoperiod conditions; group A under a light and dark cycle (LD...
For thousands of years, humanity, in order to ensure its survival, used plants in their daily lives to help cure and treat various pathologies.

Croton cordiifolius Baill. is a shrub known as “quebra-faca” and is used to treat inflammation, pain, wounds, and gastrointestinal disturbances in the semiarid region in the northeast of Brazil. In an ethnobotanical survey in the state of Pernambuco, “quebra-faca” use was cited in 33% of the interviews. Thus, we decided to evaluate the antinociceptive effects of the essential oil from C. cordiifolius (CcEO). Ch...

Alginates isolated from Sargassum vulgare , present a strong antitumor activity, associated with kidney reversible damage, as analysed by histopathology of treated animals. In the present study, the renal alteration mechanisms of S. vulgare alginates were investigated using the isolated perfused rat kidney and the isolated perfused rat mesenteric blood vessel methods. The results showed that the effects of Sarg...
Sea anemones contain a variety of biological active compounds including some potent toxins. For this reason, many investigators have focused their studies in these proteins, isolated from sea anemones, such as Bunodosoma caissarum. The aim of this work was to study the mechanism of functional alterations produced by the crude extract and the PLA2 fraction of B. caissarum in the isolated rat kidney and arteriola...
