Diabetes mellitus and prostate cancer metabolism: Is there a relationship?
Antunes, Hugo Pontes; Teixo, Ricardo; Carvalho, João André; Eliseu, Miguel; Marques, Inês; Mamede, Ana; Neves, Rita; Oliveira, RuiObjective: Our aim was to evaluate the effects of glucose levels and diabetes mellitus in prostate cancer (PCa) biology. Materials and methods: Two PCa cell lines (LNCap and PC3) were cultured in RPMI medium with different glucose concentrations [5mM (LG) and 25mM (HG)]. Expressions of androgen receptor, Her2/neu and glucose transporters (GLUT1, 3, 5 and 12) were evaluated by flow cytometry. Proliferation rate ...
Os Agentes Termofísicos
Neves, Rita; Rosado, Maria da LapaProblema: A utilização inadequada e/ou a falta de padrões de prática das modalidades termofísicas em Portugal, motivou a elaboração de um documento, um levantamento de informação, objectiva, em que qualquer fisioterapeuta se possa alicerçar para aplicar estas modalidades com o máximo rigor e seguindo todos os padrões de prática, garantindo assim a segurança dos utentes e do fisioterapeuta. Objectivo: Contribuir...
