Resistance Training Before Hyperalgesia Induction Promotes Analgesic Effects Th...
Chiapeta, Andrês Valente; Oliveira, Leandro Licursi; Leite, Luciano Bernardes; Silva, Bruna Aparecida Fonseca da; Costa, Sebastião Felipe FerreiraFibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread pain and complex pathophysiology, requiring new therapeutic approaches. This study aims to investigate the effects of resistance training (RT) before hyperalgesia induction on pain sensitivity, IL-6 and IL-10 expression in skeletal muscle, and thalamic serotonin levels in a fibromyalgia (FM)-like rat model. Methods: Wistar female rats aged 12 months...
Vitellogenin transcytosis in follicular cells of the honeybee Apis mellifera an...
Dohanik, Virgínia Teles; Gonçalves, Wagner Gonzaga; Oliveira, Leandro Licursi; Zanuncio, José Cola; Serrão, José EduardoVitellogenin receptor (VgR) is a low-density lipoprotein receptor responsible for the mediated endocytosis of vitellogenin (Vg) during egg formation in insects. The maturing oocyte is enveloped by a follicular epithelium, which has large intercellular spaces during Vg accumulation (patency). However, Vg has been reported in the cytoplasm of follicular cells, indicating that there may be a transcellular route fo...
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...
Stink bug predator kills prey with salivary non-proteinaceous compounds
Martínez, Luis Carlos; Fialho, Maria do Carmo Queiroz; Barbosa, Luiz Claudio Almeida; Oliveira, Leandro Licursi; Zanuncio, José ColaPodisus nigrispinus Dallas (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is a predator insect with potential applications in biological control because both nymphs and adults have been shown to prey on other insect pests by injection of toxic salivary gland contents. This study identified non-proteinaceous compounds with insecticidal activity from the saliva of P. nigrispinus in Anticarsia gemmatalis. In particular, the ether extr...
Paracoccin distribution supports its role in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis grow...
Oliveira, Aline Ferreira; Fernandes, Fabricio Freitas; Mariano, Vânia Sammartino; Almeida, Fausto; Ruas, Luciana Pereira; Oliveira, Leandro LicursiParacoccidioides brasiliensis yeast was reported to express paracoccin, a GlcNAc-binding protein that displays N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAGase) activity. Highly specific anti-paracoccin antibodies have been previously used to examine the localization of paracoccin in yeast and inhibit its growth in vitro. In the present study, anti-paracoccin antibodies were used to characterize, by scanning confocal micro...
