The influence of Castanea sativa Mill. flower extract on hormonally and chemica...
Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Seixas, F; Silva, M; Fardilha, M; Ferreira, R; Neuparth, MJ; Faustino-Rocha, AI; Colaço, B; Venâncio, C; Barros, LProstate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men, with a huge impact on their health. The use of Castanea sativa Mill. flowers (CFs) in beverages has been reported, through ancestral claims, as having health benefits. In vitro research has evidenced the properties of CFs, such as antitumor and anti- oxidant activities. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CF extract in an animal model of PC...
Ms-222 and propofol sedation during and after the simulated transport of nile t...
Félix, LM; Correia, R; Sequeira, R; Ribeiro, C; Monteiro, S; Antunes, L; Silva, J; Venâncio, C; Valentim, AThe use of anesthetics has been suggested as a strategy to hamper live fish transport-induced stress. Still, there is insufficient data available on the use of alternative anesthetics to MS-222. This study investigated the use of propofol to mitigate stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, 143.8 ± 20.9 g and 20.4 ± 0.9 cm) during a 6 h simulated transport. Individuals (n = 7) were divided into three grou...
Teratogenic, oxidative stress and behavioural outcomes of three fungicides of n...
Vieira, R; Venâncio, C; Félix, LMThe improper use of synthetic fungicides has raised public concerns related to environmental pollution and animal health. Over the years, plant-derived antifungals have been investigated as safer alternatives, although little scientific evidence of its neurodevelopmental effects exist. The main objective of this study was to explore the effects of three alternative natural extracts (Equisetum arvense, Mimosa te...
Inflammatory, oxidative stress, and apoptosis effects in zebrafish larvae after...
Lanzarin, G; Venâncio, C; Félix, LM; Monteiro, SGlyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are the most used herbicides in the world, carrying potentially adverse consequences to the environment and non-target species due to their massive and inadequate use. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of acute exposure to a commercial formulation of glyphosate, Roundup® Flex (RF), at environmentally relevant and higher concentrations in zebrafish larvae through the asse...
Dietary supplementation with chestnut (Castanea sativa) reduces abdominal adipo...
Rodrigues, P; Ferreira, T; Nascimento-Gonçalves, E; Seixas, F; Costa, RMG; Martins, T; Neuparth, MJ; Pires, MJ; Lanzarin, G; Félix, LM; Venâncio, CThe production of chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller) is mostly concentrated in Europe. Chestnut is recognized by its high content of antioxidants and phytosterols. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary chestnut consumption over physiological variables of FVB/n mice. Eighteen FVB/n male 7-month-old mice were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 6): 1 (control group) fed a standard die...
Understanding depressive symptoms after bariatric surgery: the role of weight, ...
Sousa, P; Bastos, AP; Venâncio, C; Vaz, AR; Brandão, I; Costa, JM; Machado, P; Conceição, EINTRODUCTION: Depressive symptoms have been reported as prevalent after bariatric surgery. This study aims to analyze the role of weight, eating behaviors and body image in depressive symptomatology in bariatric surgery patients assessed post-operatively. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study including 52 bariatric surgery patients assessed post-operatively with a follow-up time ranging from 22 ...
