Metabolic, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in the nitric oxide variat...
Epifânio, Andreza de Paula Santos; Balbino, Karla Pereira; Jorge, Monica De Paula; Ribeiro, Sonia M.R.; Moreira, Ana Vládia BandeiraOxidative stress markers such as nitric oxide (NO) have been investigated in hemodialysis (HD). Objective: Evaluate the association of NO variation with adiposity indicators, metabolic, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in individuals to HD. Cross-sectional study with 85 subjects on HD treatment (≥ 18 years). The clinical-nutritional status was evaluated through subjective global assessment modified (SG...
Ultrastructure and morphometric features of epididymal epithelium in Desmodus r...
Castro, Mariana Moraes de; Gonçalves, Wagner Gonzaga; Teixeira, Stéphanie Asséf Millen Valente; Queiroz Fialho, Maria do Carmo; Santos, Felipe CoutoThe blood-feeding behavior of Desmodus rotundus made this bat a potential vector of rabies virus and a public health issue. Consequently, the better understanding of its reproductive biology becomes valuable for the development of methods to control its population. In this study, we described morphological aspects of epithelial cells in D. rotundus’ epididymis using light and transmission electron microscopy me...
Exposure to deltamethrin induces oxidative stress and decreases of energy reser...
Oliveira, Jerusa Maria; Losano, Nicole Fontes; Condessa, Suellen Silva; Freitas, Renata Maria Pereira de; Cardoso, Silvia AlmeidaDeltamethrin (DTM) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide highly used by farmers and home users. This pesticide has lipophilic properties that facilitate a high absorption and can cause toxicity in non-target organisms. During foraging, the fruit-eating bats Artibeus lituratus are exposed to pesticides. However, the knowledge of the toxicity of pesticides on the physiology of bats is relatively scarce. This stud...
Exposure to the insecticide endosulfan induces liver morphology alterations and...
Oliveira, Jerusa Maria; Brinati, Alessandro; Miranda, Liany Divina Lima; Morais, Danielle Barbosa; Zanuncio, José Cola; Gonçalves, Reggiani VilelaExposure to pesticides may increase the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidation of cell membrane lipids and proteins. Although fruit bats are potentially exposed to pesticides during their entire lifespan, the impacts of this exposure are still poorly investigated. We examined the effects of low, commercially recommended concentrations (0, 1.05 and 2.1 g/l) of an organochlorine insecti...
