The role of natural compounds in rat mammary cancer: the beneficial effects of ...
Azevedo, Tiago; Silva, J; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Valada, A; Anjos, L; Moura, T; Ferreira, T; Santos, M; Pires, MJ; Neuparth, MJ; Peixoto, FBreast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women, and a leading cause of death worldwide. Santolina chamaecyparissus L. is a plant with multiple health benefits, includ- ing anticancer and anti-diabetic properties. This study aimed to assess the chemopreven- tive effects of S. chamaecyparissus aqueous ex- tract (SCE) in an animal model of mammary cancer. A total of 28 four-week-old female Wistar rats were...
Hematological aspects of Pteridium spp. (Bracken fern) toxicity in K14-HPV16 tr...
Medeiros-Fonseca, B; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Silvestre-Ferreira, AC; Queiroga, F; Medeiros, R; Gil da Costa, RM; Oliveira, PAPteridium spp. (PTE) is a plant species that is very well adapted to environmental conditions. It is used as food by animals and various human populations. Its toxic chemical composition can induce various diseases upon acute or chronic consumption. Animals infected with papillomavirus that frequently feed on PTE tend to manifest a synergistic effect on lesions associated with this virus, since PTE has an immun...
The effect of resistance training on hematological parameters: data from an ani...
Silva, J; Azevedo, T; Valada, A; Anjos, L; Silvestre-Ferreira, AC; Faustino-Rocha, Ana I; Queiroga, FL; Oliveira, PA; Duarte, JABreast cancer continues to be one of the main causes of death from cancer worldwide. Haematological analysis is not only useful to evaluate the animals’ health status, but also for the diagnosis and to study the progression of several diseases, including cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of resistance training on haematological parameters in a rat model of mammary cancer. Twenty-eight female rats...

Current State of Canine Heartworm in Portugal
Esteves-Guimarães, J; Matos, JI; Leal-Sousa, B; Oliveira, P; Lobo, L; Silvestre-Ferreira, AC; Soares, CS; Rodríguez-Escolar, I; Carretón, E; Morchón, RThe favourable geo-climatic conditions in Portugal have made it highly conducive to the development of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs, leading to its identification as an endemic region. This nematode is rapidly spreading across Europe, particularly in northeastern countries. The objective of this study was to provide an updated assessment of the prevalence of this disease in Portuguese dogs, analysing the results...
Exposure of humans to the zoonotic nematode Dirofilaria immitis in Northern Por...
Fontes-Sousa, AP; Silvestre-Ferreira, AC; Carretón, E; Esteves-Guimarães, J; Maia-Rocha, C; Oliveira, P; Lobo, L; Morchón, R; Araújo, F; Simón, FDirofilariosis caused by Dirofilaria immitis (heartworm) is a zoonosis, considered an endemic disease of dogs and cats in several countries of Western Europe, including Portugal. This study assesses the levels of D. immitis exposure in humans from Northern Portugal, to which end, 668 inhabitants of several districts belonging to two different climate areas (Csa: Bragança, Vila Real and Csb: Aveiro, Braga, Porto...
