Circular animal protein hydrolysates: a comparative approach of functional prop...
Monteiro, Marta; Rodrigues-dos-Santos, Luciano; Filipa-Silva, Andreia; Marques, Diana A.; Pintado, Manuela; Almeida, André; Valente, Luisa M. P.The growing demand for nutraceuticals has driven interest in upcycling low-value proteins from processed animal by-products and insect larvae into functional protein hydrolysates. This study evaluated five such hydrolysates in comparison to a high-value commercial reference (CPSP90), assessing the proximate composition, amino acid profile, molecular weight distribution, antioxidant activity, and bacterial growt...
Locally-sourced animal protein hydrolysates in high-plant-protein diets can pro...
Rodrigues-dos-Santos, Luciano; Basto, Ana; Monteiro, Marta; António, Carla; Rodrigues, Ana M.; Sá, Tiago; Velasco, Cristina; Martins, Rui; Rosa, AnaUpcycling meat and fish by-products into bioactive protein hydrolysates promotes zero-waste practices within the circular bioeconomy and provides locally-sourced alternatives to replace fishmeal (FM) in aquafeeds. In this study, novel hydrolysates were developed from blue shark skin, fish by-products, and swine processed animal protein, aiming to reduce the high-quality FM inclusion in European seabass (Dicentr...
Exploring BPA alternatives - Environmental levels and toxicity review
Adamovsky, Ondrej; Groh, Ksenia J.; Białk-Bielińska, Anna; Escher, Beate I.; Beaudouin, R.; Mora Lagares, Liadys; Tollefsen, Knut Erik; Fenske, MartinaBisphenol A alternatives are manufactured as potentially less harmful substitutes of bisphenol A (BPA) that offer similar functionality. These alternatives are already in the market, entering the environment and thus raising ecological concerns. However, it can be expected that levels of BPA alternatives will dominate in the future, they are limited information on their environmental safety. The EU PARC project...
Distribution and composition of Decapod larvae assemblages on the Berlengas arc...
Monteiro, Marta; Miranda Azeiteiro, Ulisses Miranda M.; Cruz, Joana; Maia, Simão; Leandro, Sérgio Miguel F.M.; Marques, Sónia CotrimFor the first time, the decapod larval community in the Berlenga and coastal Peniche region have been investigated in detail, from a short-term time series (2015 - 2020). Sampling was conducted in two locations, at Berlengas archipelago, and near the coast, at Peniche. The communities found at both stations were revealed to be 80% different in terms of species composition, but species of Brachyura, Caridea, and...
Dynamics of Decapoda larvae communities in a southwest Iberian estuary: Underst...
Monteiro, Marta; Cruz, Joana; Azeiteiro, Ulisses; Marques, Sónia Cotrim; Baptista, Vânia; Teodosio, Maria AlexandraEnvironmental conditions play a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of meroplanktonic communities, which represent a vital life stage, crucial for successful recruitment. Specifically, temperature can impact the survival and duration of larval development in decapod crustacean species. The objective of this study is to analyze the community of decapod larvae in the Guadiana estuary, located in southwest Iberia...
An emergent treat: Marine heatwaves: Implications for marine decapod crustacean...
Monteiro, Marta; Castro, Samuel L.P. de; Marques, Sónia Cotrim; Freitas, Rosa; Azeiteiro, Ulisses M.Anthropogenic-mediated climate change severely affects the oceans. The most common definition of a Marine heatwave (MHW) considers that water temperatures rise above the 90th percentile threshold values, based on the last 30 years' average of temperature records for a particular location, and remains this high for five or more days. The current review addresses the evolution of definitions used, as well as the ...

Diploid Nuclei Occur throughout the Life Cycles of Pucciniales Fungi
Talhinhas, Pedro; Carvalho, Rita; Tavares, Sílvia; Ribeiro, Teresa; Azinheira, Helena; Ramos, Ana Paula; Silva, Maria do Céu; Monteiro, MartaWithin Eukaryotes, fungi are the typical representatives of haplontic life cycles. Basidiomycota fungi are dikaryotic in extensive parts of their life cycle, but diploid nuclei are known to form only in basidia. Among Basidiomycota, the Pucciniales are notorious for presenting the most complex life cycles, with high host specialization, and for their expanded genomes. Using cytogenomic (flow cytometry and cell ...

Dogs with leishmaniosis: how are we managing proteinuria in daily practice? A P...
Monteiro, Marta; Prata, Sara; Cardoso, Luís; Pereira da Fonseca, Isabel; Leal, RodolfoABSTRACT Background: Proteinuria is a common fnding in dogs with leishmaniosis. Although antileishmanial therapeutic protocols are widely implemented, little information is available on which treatments are most adequate for identifying proteinuria in patients with canine leishmaniosis (CanL), especially regarding the use of immunosuppressants. The aim of this study was to explore the current paradigm regarding...
