Toxicity of amphetamine-type drugs in rat cardiomyocyte cells involves oxidativ...
Valente, M. J.; Araújo, A. M.; Carvalho, F.; Carvalho, M.Background: Synthetic cathinones (SCs) are recreational psychoactive substances with pharmacological properties resembling those of classical amphetamines, such as 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; ecstasy) [1]. Although the use of SCs has been linked to adverse health outcomes, including myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac deaths [2], the underlying cardiotoxic mechanisms are still unknown. Objecti...
Stable isotope and multi-analytical investigation of Monte da Cegonha: a Late A...
Saragoça, P.; Maurer, A. F.; Soberl, L.; Lopes, M. C.; Alfenim, R.; Leandro, I.; Umbelino, C.; Fernandes, T.; Valente, M. J.; Ribeiro, S.; Santos, J. F.This study presents for the first time the diet of a Late Antiquity population in southern Portugal (Civitas of Pax Julia), from the Roman villa of Monte da Cegonha (predominantly 7th century CE). Stable isotope analysis (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O, 87Sr/86Sr) of human and faunal bone collagen and apatite was conducted in order to understand the influence of Roman subsistence strategies on theway of life of rural inhabit...

Maurer, A.-F.; Saragoça, P.; Dias, C. B.; Soberl, L.; Lopes, M. C.; Alfenim, R.; Leandro, I.; Umbelino, C.; Fernandes, T.; Valente, M. J.; Ribeiro, S.In this study, diet and mobility of the Palaeochristian populations from the Roman villae of São Cucufate and Cegonha, and from the necropolis of Alpendre dos Lagares, located in the Beja region in southern Portugal, was investigated by isotopic analysis. Osteological tissues provide information on diet and mobility of the individuals. Isotopic analysis of delta 13C and delta 15N of bones can be used to determi...
Multi-analytical and isotope investigation of a Late Roman/Paleochristian popul...
Saragoça, P.; Maurer, A.-F.; Soberl, L.; Lopes, M. C.; Alfenim, R.; Leandro, I.; Umbelino, C.; Fernandes, T.; Valente, M. J.; Ribeiro, S.; Santos, J. F.This study examines for the first time the diet of a Paleochristian population in the south of Portugal, from the Roman villae of Monte da Cegonha, in the region of Beja. Preliminary data are presented here and discussed in order to better understand the influence of the Roman occupation for several centuries on the way of life of rural inhabitants of the area of Pax Julia. Isotopic analysis (δ13Ccollagen, δ15N...
