Análise de miRNoma em sangue periférico de indivíduos com obesidade e resistência à insulina

INTRODUÇÃO: A obesidade é uma doença multifatorial associada com alto risco de desenvolver resistência à insulina (RI), diabetes melito tipo 2 (DT2), síndrome metabólica (SM) e doenças cardiovasculares (DCV). Os mecanismos moleculares da fisiopatologia das doenças metabólicas não são totalme...

Development and characterization of fifteen polymorphic microsatellite loci in Bryconamericus aff. iheringii (Teleostei: Characidae) and cross-amplification in related Characidae species

Neotrop. ichthyol; 16 (1), 2018
Data on 15 novel microsatellite loci from the Neotropical fish Bryconamericus aff. iheringii are presented here. Analyses of 32 individuals from four different streams revealed 192 different alleles, ranging from four to 32 alleles per locus (mean of 12.8 per locus). Observed and expected heterozygositie...

Cytokines, cortisol, and nitric oxide as salivary biomarkers in oral lichen planus: a systematic review

Abstract The etiopathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP) is still not fully elucidated, and it is believed that its development could involve a neuro-immune-endocrine profile. This systematic review investigated the relationship between cytokines, cortisol, and nitric oxide (NO) in the saliva of OLP pat...

Avaliação dos níveis de chumbo e mercúrio em população exposta ambientalmente na Região Centro-oeste do Brasil

O objetivo foi avaliar o nível de exposição ao chumbo e mercúrio em população do Pantanal Mato-grossense, Brasil. Chumbo no sangue (Pb-S) (n = 119) e mercúrio na urina (Hg-U) (n = 109) de moradores da região foram determinados por espectrometria de absorção atômica. A comparação de médias e...

Is Ki-67, keratin 16, involucrin, and filaggrin immunostaining sufficient to diagnose inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus? A report of eight cases and a comparison with psoriasis vulgaris

An. bras. dermatol; 92 (5), 2017
Abstract: Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus and linear psoriasis are sometimes hard to differentiate clinically and pathologically. Although immunohistochemical expression of keratin 10 (K10), K16, Ki-67, and involucrin may be useful for differentiating both entities, these results have been ...
