O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade de produção de nanopartículas de prata através do extrato da casca de romã, e produzir formulações contendo estas nanopartículas para uso em feridas. Elas foram testadas quanto à ação antimicrobiana, citotóxica e potencial cicatrizante. Para a ...
Produzida pela glândula pineal exclusivamente em período noturno e na escuridão, a melatonina apresenta papel fundamental na sincronização dos ritmos circadianos com o ciclo claro-escuro do meio ambiente. A exposição à luz suprime a síntese e secreção de melatonina pela glândula pineal, poden...
O envelhecimento é considerado processo multidimensional no qual fatores ambientais podem proteger ou, inversamente, agravar seus sinais, de maneira não linear, nos processos fisiológicos e neurocomportamentais. Durante este processo, os ritmos circadianos são interrompidos ou fragmentados com dissoc...
Aims: The behavior of laboratory animals has been studied through displacement, with different objectives by researchers. Methods: Although different methods have already been used in the tracking of laboratory animals, manual tracking mode videogrammetry for 2D analysis of displacement has not been obs...
Aim: to determine the effects of sciatic compression and treatment with resistance exercise on the morphology of the ankle joint of Wistar rats. Methods: 32 male rats, aged 10 ± 1 week, weighing 376±22 grams were divided into the following four groups (n=8/group): CG (control), LG (lesion), EG (exerci...
Aims: Maternal low-protein diet induces several impairments on cardiac system. Conversely, moderate exercise has been widely recommended to health improvement due to its effects on heart function. Thus, we investigated whether the moderate physical training is capable to offset the lasting injuries of a...
AIMS: We evaluated whether exercise training ameliorates cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in obesity-induced by high-fat diet (HFD) in rats. METHODS Wistar male rats were assigned in normal diet, sedentary (ND-S) and trained (ND-T) and HFD, sedentary (HFD-S) and trained (HFD-T). Blood pressure (BP),...
AIMS: Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a new and promising technique for tissue repair, however, there is still a gap about its action on peripheral nerve injury, as well as its association with physical exercise. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the PRF associated with physical ex...
Introduction: Grape is one of the most important fruit crops across the world and
can be consumed in different ways. There has been a growing interest in the role
of antioxidants such as resveratrol, which can be found in grape skin, in oral and
dental tissues. Thus, the objective of this study was to an...
Introduction: Changes in maternal care can affect offspring’s thyroid hormone
T3 levels. Pups from highly caring mothers have higher levels of thyroid hormone T3.
In humans, physical abuse in childhood is related to lower levels of T3 in adolescence.
This study aimed at verifying if early-life trauma i...
