Lack of dystrophin influences muscle inflammation but not myogenic regulatory f...
Lazzarin,Mariana Cruz; Quintana,Hananiah Tardivo; Baptista,Vivianne Izabelle de Araújo; Oliveira,Flavia deAbstract Aim: To investigate the consequences of chronic eccentric exercise in histopathology, inflammatory, and myogenic regulatory factors response in gastrocnemius muscle of X-chromosome-linked muscular dystrophy (mdx) mice. Method: Male mdx and control mice (C57BL/10 lineage) were distributed in the following groups: Sedentary Control (SC), Trained Control (TC), Sedentary Mdx (S-Mdx), and Trained Mdx (T-Mdx...
Low-Level Laser Therapy and Spinal Cord Injury: Effects of 3 Different Fluences...
Silva,Suellen de Oliveira Veronez; Assis,Lívia; Campo,Paula Fernanda Gallani Martin Del; Duarte,Katherine Chuere Nunes; Oliveira,Flavia deAbstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 3 different fluences of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in intermediate period of spinal cord repair using an experimental model in rats. Thirty two rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups: Control Group (CG); Laser treated group 500 J/cm² (L-500); Laser treated group 750 J/cm² (L-750) and Laser treated group 1000 J/cm² (L-1000)...
Evaluation of Collagen Fibers, MMP2, MMP9, 8-OHdG and Apoptosis in the Aorta of...
Maifrino,Laura Beatriz M.; Lima,Nathalia E. A. de; Marques,Mara R.; Cardoso,Clever G.; Souza,Lidiane B. de; Tomé,Tabata de CarvalhoAbstract Background: In menopause, there is greater cellular exposure to oxidative stress, related to the decreased antioxidative effects of estrogen. These metabolic changes favor the progression of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. Abnormal function of the aorta - the most important artery - is associated with many cardiovascular diseases. Collagen, especially types I and III, is one of the mo...
Morphological changes in distant muscle fibers following thermal injury in Wist...
Oliveira,Flavia de; Bevilacqua,Luci Rezende; Anaruma,Carlos Alberto; Boldrini,Silvia de Campos; Liberti,Edson AparecidoPURPOSE: Thermal injury causes catabolic processes as the body attempts to repair the damaged area. This study evaluated the effects of a scald injury on the morphology of muscle fibers belonging to a muscle distant from the lesion. METHODS: Thirty Wistar rats were divided into control (C) and scalded (S) groups. Group S was scalded over 45% of the body surface, standardized by body weight. Rats in both groups ...
